Composite technologies enable lighter, longer, and more durable components for modern renewable systems most notably wind turbine blades. Optimized laminate architectures and corrosion-free materials deliver high stiffness-to-weight ratios, superior fatigue life, and low maintenance across onshore and offshore environments, reducing LCOE over the asset’s lifetime.
APPLICATIONS
-
Wind energy: turbine blades (shells, spar caps, webs, roots), LEP/lighting systems, nacelle covers and spinners.
-
Offshore wind balance-of-plant: composite gratings/handrails, boat-landing fenders, cable trays and subsea cable protection, flotation.
-
Solar (PV/CSP): backsheets/edge seals, junction-box housings, tracker bearings, weatherable covers/frames.
-
Energy storage: battery enclosures, cell spacers, thermal barriers/insulation (UL-rated).
-
Hydrogen & gases: Type-IV composite pressure vessels, chemical-resistant piping and valve components.
-
Plant infrastructure: corrosion-resistant tanks, FRP platforms/gratings, pump and equipment covers
BETEFITS
- High stiffness/strength at low mass for longer blades and higher AEP
- Fatigue resistance under cyclic flap/edge loading; excellent damage tolerance
- Corrosion/UV resistance in marine climates; low maintenance and long service life
- Design freedom for layup tailoring and integrated features; scalable manufacturing
OUR ROLE
Diamer support the sector as both a materials supplier and engineering/manufacturing partner:
- Supply of epoxy/vinyl-ester systems, curing agents, structural adhesives, gelcoats, LEP coatings, glass and carbon fabrics, and PVC/PET/balsa cores including toughened and recyclable options.
- Process support for infusion and bonding, laminate design, and lightning/LEP integration.
- Production of composite nacelle covers, spinners, and ancillary parts, plus polymer solutions for offshore access and cable protection.
