  • Patent number: 11807772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coating compositions for wind turbine blades. The compositions are particularly useful as topcoats for wind blades and for Leading Edge Protection (LEP). The invention also relates to a wind blade coated with a coating composition of the invention and to a method for application of the coating composition and to a method for repairing and/or replacing the existing coating layer on a wind blade by application of a coating composition of the invention. The invention also relates to a kit of parts comprising the base composition and the curing agent used in the coating composition. The coating composition used for coating a wind blade comprises a base composition comprising a polyetheraspartic ester having the formula (I) below, wherein each R represents a linear or branched C1-C10 alkyl residue, such as a linear or branched C1-C6 alkyl residue, such as for example a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl residue; and wherein X is a polyether.

  • Patent number: 9759181
    Abstract: The present application discloses a wind turbine blade having on the outer surface thereof a polyurethane-based coating including a polyurethane binder prepared from polyol(s) having an average functionality of ?2.0 and <8.0; at least 50% (w/w) of the polyols have aliphatic polyester segments included therein and have a Mw of 300-3,000 g/mol; and polyisocyanate(s) having an average functionality of <3.0; at least 50% (w/w) of the polyisocyanate(s) are selected from: (i) polyisocyanates having aliphatic polyester segments included therein, and having a molecular weight of 500-3,000 g/mol and a functionality of ?2.0 and <3.0; (ii) polyisocyanates of the allophanate type having a Mw of 250-2,000 g/mol and a functionality of ?2.0 and <3.0; and (iii) polyisocyanates of the uretdion type having a Mw of 250-2,000 g/mol and a functionality of ?2.0 and <3.0. The application also discloses corresponding coating compositions and a method for coating a substrate.
