New Adhesive from Bostik Is a Crucial Element of Recyclable Wind Turbine Blades
The ZEBRA (Zero wastE Blade ReseArch) consortium announced the completion of its second recyclable thermoplastic wind turbine blade, further advancing the industry’s commitment to advancing sustainability in wind energy.
The second blade was made at LM Wind Power’s blade plant in Castellón, Spain, using Arkema’s thermoplastic liquid resin Elium® known for its recyclability, and Owens Corning’s high-performance glass fabrics. It features a new Carbon-Elium resin spar cap technology and a new adhesive from Arkema’s subsidiary Bostik, which specializes in adhesive solutions.
