3M Wind Protection Tapes

Durable tapes against erosion to protect the leading edges and surfaces of rotor blades.

3M™ Wind Protection Tapes help to protect leading edges and surfaces from pitting, wear and water ingress. 3M™ Wind Protection Tapes are made of tough, abrasion-resistant polyurethane elastomers and resist piercing, tearing, erosion and weathering. They are UV-stable, solvent-free and adapt to complex shapes.

They do not require special application tools and can be easily applied both in the factory and in the field via rope or platform access. The 3M™ Wind Protection Tapes are based on the same reliable technology that has been developed to protect helicopter blades and aircraft radomes for over 40 years. These high performance polyurethane tapes, applied to the leading edge of rotor blades, have a proven ability to maintain turbine efficiency, reduce downtime and maintenance and extend blade life, even in the harshest environments.

3M™ Wind Protection Tapes are made of an exceptionally hard, abrasion-resistant, transparent polyurethane elastomer and can significantly reduce and even eliminate leading edge erosion on wind turbine blades.

3M™ Wind Protection Tapes protect leading edges and surfaces from pitting, wear and water intrusion. Made from tough, abrasion-resistant polyurethane elastomers, 3M windbreak tapes resist punctures, abrasion, erosion and weathering. They are UV stable, solvent-free and conform to complex shapes. Special installation tools are not required. They can be easily applied in the factory or on site by access via ropes or platforms. Applied to leading edges of wind turbine blades, these high-performance polyurethane tapes are proven to contribute to turbine efficiency, reduce downtime and maintenance, and extend turbine blade life - even in the harshest environments.
