Components & Applications

Wind Energy Industry

  • Surface Protection

    Leading-Edge Protection (LEP) systems

    Tecman has developed a series of leading TPU protection films that outperform equivalent alternatives, reduce application time from days to just hours, and are designed to withstand the harshest environments while delivering superior aerodynamic performance. These industry-leading solutions provide the highest level of turbine blade protection, extending lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.

  • Slitting Rewinding

    Vortex Generators

    Leveraging over 30 years of adhesive expertise, we utilise proven polymers to achieve high accuracy mouldings designed for optimal aerodynamic performance. Additionally, by deploying the most advanced adhesive tapes, automated placement of adhesive to mouldings, and streamlined manufacturing processes our solutions are able to compete with product from low-cost regions.

  • Bonding Material

    Trailing Edge Serrations

    Serrations are designed to disrupt the airflow, reduce noise emissions and improve power lift. These solutions are suitable for areas with complex geometrics and can be applied at sub-zero temperatures. Customised solutions utilising 15-Vhpb Series high-performance tapes provide an excellent durable bond onto the blade and our streamlined manufacturing processes allow our solutions to compete with product from low-cost regions.

  • Tick

    Lightning Protection

    Lightning protection solutions utilise advanced materials and advanced conductive tapes to offer superior protection for wind turbines. These lightweight, durable solutions help to safeguard electrically sensitive components such as frost elimination systems, sensors, and communication devices.

  • Surface Protection

    LEP Repair Patches

    Advanced repair patches designed for long-lasting and cost-effective repair of tears and punctures in turbine protection films. Our solutions are designed to form a robust adhesion to the original film and the blade surface, ensuring a long-lasting repair. Designed for easy application in the field.
