FAQ

Are foam cores used in both onshore and offshore wind turbines?

Yes. Foam is used in all segments of utility-scale[…]

How do designers evaluate long-term foam durability?

Through accelerated aging tests, fatigue simulations, and field data

Do foam cores reduce manufacturing time?

Pre-cut kits streamline assembly, reducing labor and cycle time.

What makes foam ideal for thick laminate regions?

It increases section height without adding excessive weight.

How is foam delivered to blade manufacturers?

As sheets, blocks, CNC-cut kits, thermoformed panels, or multi-part

Is foam corrosion-resistant?

Yes. Polymer foams do not corrode like metal structures.

Why do OEMs increasingly specify PET for new blade designs?

Consistency, recyclability, broad availability, and good mechanical performance.

How do offshore conditions affect foam selection?

Offshore environments require moisture-resistant, fatigue-tolerant foam cores.

What adhesive films are used with foam in prepreg blades?

Epoxy film adhesives designed for high peel and shear
