ALEXIT BladeRep - Model Topcoat ALP 20 -Lightning Protection Coating for Wind Blades
ALEXIT® BladeRep® Topcoat ALP 20 is engineered to augment the efficacy of lightning protection systems for wind turbine blades. Using ArcGuide® Technology, it manipulates the electric field around the blade surface, promoting robust leader formation from the lightning receptor, thereby increasing the probability of lightning strikes targeting the receptor instead of causing damage to the blade itself. Meant to reduce lightning strike damage by 73%, it has been verified through IEC 61400-24 standard tests. The applied benefits include increased lifespan of blades, with verified dependability on working windfarms. Its rollable application is facilitated by a two-chamber can, designed for speedy and direct application on-site. Field and laboratory tests confirm its capability to lessen the risk of lightning damage, offering an advanced protective measure for blade longevity.
Advanced Protection for Blades
ALEXIT® BladeRep® Topcoat ALP 20 is a specifically designed coating system, that improves the performance of the existing lightning protection system on wind blades.
The innovative ArcGuide® Technology enhances the electric field in the air adjacent to the coating, facilitating stronger leader formation from the lightning receptor. This increases the likelihood of lightning strikes attaching to the receptor instead of damaging the blade.
