SABIC LNP COLORCOMP compound enhances PET foam cores for wind turbine blades
All photo credit: Diab Group Diab Group (Helsingborg, Sweden), a sandwich composite solutions company, chose SABIC’s (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) new LNP COLORCOMP compound to enhance the core material of wind turbine blades. Said to reduce weight and improve mechanical properties of sandwich structures with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foams, the compound incorporates SABIC’s nanotechnology by reducing the foam’s cell size by a factor of up to two, while maintaining the same density and decreasing the cell size dispersity. Selected over standard nucleators for production of Diab Gro...
