WIND TURBINE BLADES
The front edge of a turbine blade is subjected to constant impact from airborne projectiles such as rain, ice, salt, and sand. Nano-Clear is the optimum solution for entire blade surfaces, not just leading edges.

LEADING EDGE EROSION PROTECTION
700,000 blades in operation growing by 50,000+ blades annually. Fiberglass turbine blades and their supporting structures are subjected to conditions that lead to extreme erosion, corrosion and material fatigue. 1/3 of downtime is caused by blade failures.
Nano-Clear® dramatically increases service lifespan, reduces surface maintenance costs and increases ROI. We achieve this by reducing erosion-caused drag resistance to improve performance, and by offering a surface that is 23x (2,300%) more scratch resistant as compared to a leading aerospace grade coating for fiberglass. (Independently tested / validated – * see test results: pg 8, Table 2, Turbine Blade Brochure)
KEY BENEFITS
NCI dramatically improves resistance to corrosion, weathering, abrasion, scratching, chipping, marring, chemical, and UV degradation. We achieve these industry leading levels of protection by incorporating polyurethane, polyuria pre-polymer and polysilane into a molecule dense 1K product. What makes NCI 1K additionally so unique is our extreme protection requires no activators, hardeners, or accelerators in the application process, making Nano-Clear extremely applicator friendly.
- Anti-Corrosion: 6000hrs+ salt spray testing, no blistering or failure
- Anti-Fade / Chalking: 98% colour & gloss retention per 10 year period
- Chemical Resistance: More resistant than military chemical coatings
- Anti-Microbial: 99.9998% effective at neutralizing microorganisms
- Easy Cleanability: Low surface energy repels ice, dirt, graffiti, etc.
- High Impact Resistance: Tough yet flexible makes NCI very durable
- Drag Reduction: Reduces drag by up to 50% per lab testing
- Large Temperature Range: -40oC to 121oC
THE NANO-CLEAR DIFFERENCE
For the last 30+ years, coating chemistries have been variations on the same (linear chain) polymer themes. As a result, industrial customers are on an endless treadmill: Painting, then watching the subsequent oxidation, loss of gloss, corrosion, and paint failure… requiring in turn, labour-intensive surface prep and repainting with the same conventional coating technology.
NCI dramatically improves resistance to corrosion, weathering, abrasion, scratching, chipping, marring, chemical, and UV degradation. We achieve these industry leading levels of protection by incorporating polyurethane, polyuria pre-polymer and polysilane into a molecule dense 1K product. What makes NCI 1K additionally so unique is our extreme protection requires no activators, hardeners, or accelerators in the application process, making Nano-Clear ® extremely applicator friendly.
No matter how badly oxidized your existing coating is, Nano-Clear NCI will restore its colour and provide unmatched surface protection.
Nano-Clear NCI is also designed to be applied directly over freshly coated surfaces including 2K epoxies, 2K polyurethanes and powder coatings.
Nano-Clear® is manufactured using proprietary, highly cross-linked, 3D polymers which are engineered to enhance, restore, protect and extend the surface life of commercial and industrial coated assets for a minimum of 10 years from day of application.
NCI Is a one component (1K), humidity cured, multifunctional, protective clear topcoat. As a clearBefore NCI topcoat, NCI will chemically and mechanically bond to new and oxidized two component (2K) commercial and industrial epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, powder coatings, fibreglass, gel-coats, coated composite materials, select composite materials, latex, and anodized aluminum.
Put simply: NCI restores the color, gloss, surface hardness and extends the surface life of conventional coatings by 10 years.
