Wind Energy
Lighter, Larger, More Efficient Blades with TYCOR® W
WebCore understands wind energy blade designers want reliable, engineered material solutions, especially when it comes to producing longer yet more efficient blades. To help achieve their production goals, blade fabricators require composite materials that are reliable, provide consistent high quality and are efficient to process and mold. WebCore developed TYCOR® W as a state-of-the art core product solution for turbine blade designers and infusion molders.
TYCOR® W fiber reinforced composite core technology combined with WebCore’s robust manufacturing capabilities offers a total core solution. TYCOR W easily adapts to the closed mold infusion processes used by utility-scale wind blade molders. Our high performance alternative to balsa and foam cores can reduce total cost and weight for wind turbine blade production. Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards, the engineered fiber reinforced composite core, used in the field for over two years, also enjoys a 100 percent on-time delivery rating. TYCOR W’s unique internal fiber architecture enhances uniform resin flow and wetout, a performance advantage that reduces resin usage while providing controlled infusion during molding. WebCore’s production process optimizes TYCOR W sheet sizes, improving customer yield over balsa and foam cores by as much as 10 percent.
