Advanced Composites
Moving modern markets

To fully utilize the potentials of advanced composites and optimize their manufacture, the use of special additives of BYK is extremely beneficial.

Wind Power is one of the key technologies of our time – it has already become an indispensable medium in the worldwide energy industry. In view of the limited availability ofraw materials and more ambitious climate objectives, the significance of this alternative sourceof energy is set to increase in the future. With its high-quality plastic additives, BYK is making a considerable contribution towards increasing the performance values of wind turbines andthereby further boosting the market development of this steadily growing global sector.

For example our coupling agents from the C-8000 series offer a number of key advantages, which breathe new life into the development of highly efficient wind turbines, as they enable:

  •  The production of longer components and larger rotor blades
  •  Savings on materials, thanks to increased strength
  •  More freedom and therefore cost savings when selecting raw materials
  •  More energy efficient and durable mechanical structures
  •  The acceleration of the production process
