Hempablade Edge

Strong protection. Simple application. Anywhere.

Pushing liquid Leading Edge Protection to the edge

The leading edge of a wind turbine blade is exposed to extremely high airflow speeds, even exceeding 300km per hour. At these speeds, impact from rain may cause significant coating erosion or even composite damage. In severe cases the erosion may lead to a loss of aerodynamic performance and a 2-3% drop in Annual Energy Production. This loss of performance and need for maintenance makes leading edge erosion one of the wind industry’s most significant maintenance costs and performance challenges.

The solution? Hempablade Edge 171. A fast cure, solvent free coating from Hempel. Simple to apply and provides exceptional erosion protection at some of the lowest dry film thicknesses on the market, Hempablade Edge 171 delivers the best liquid Leading Edge Protection (LEP) in the industry.

Stronger blade protection made simple

Don't just take our word for it.

As the only coating supplier with an in-house DNV-GL RP-0171 complaint Rain Erosion Test facility (RET), we have put Hempablade Edge 171 through more than 400 exhaustive test sessions and assessments to optimise the product development and LEP validation process.
