AceBlade Carbon, tailored for optimised resin flow during vacuum infusion to minimise air void, is a unidirectional carbon-fibre reinforcement with high fatigue-resistance and enhanced mechanical properties that "addresses the market need for longer and lighter blades".
"The product delivers significant benefits for designers and manufacturers of wind turbine blades," says Ahlstrom.
"Through delivery of higher strength and stiffness as well as improved fatigue properties, longer and lighter blades can be manufactured with [this material]."
