Netherlands uses glass fiber reinforced ASA resin to develop new wind turbines

EverkinetIQ International, a Dutch company, worked closely with BASF to develop the first PIQO series of small wind turbines. This product is intended to be installed on top of industrial plants, high-rise buildings, buildings and other municipal buildings as well as private houses to generate electricity. The difference between this type of wind turbine and the well-known large-scale wind generator is that the diameter is smaller, lighter and lighter. The first prototypes have been installed on buildings in the Netherlands for extensive field testing. EverkinetIQ has gathered sufficient performance data and has recently carried out optimization work. It is now preparing to put these wind turbines on the market. PIQO wind turbines are rugged, compact and produce little noise. The company believes that after the use period, the wind turbine's power generation cost will reach a more desirable level.

The wind turbine's rotor blades are made of a 15% glass fiber reinforced ASA (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylonitrile) polymer supplied by Styrolution, a new subsidiary of BASF, because of its excellent weather resistance and UV resistance. Radiation, anti-aging and chemical resistance. The round frame of the rotor is made of unreinforced ASA resin. The diameter of the round frame is about 1.5m. A person familiar with EverkinetIQ explained that this kind of smart, affordable and innovative PIQO wind turbine requires a durable, high-strength plastic. The materials supplied by Styrolution fully meet the stringent requirements of weather resistance and rotational resistance.
