Protection forever

Founded in 1948, Teknos has operated for over 70 years, evolving into one of Europe’s leading suppliers of industrial coatings. Teknos has a long tradition of developing and supplying paint products for components within the wind power industry. With both wet paint systems as well as powder coating solutions for generators, transformers and electrical motors, Teknos has been there since the early start of the modern wind turbine design. Teknos has an extensive product range and we can provide the correct paint systems for the structures in different environments, including onshore and offshore wind power turbine structures. Teknos is providing strong evidence of its expertise in the surface treatment of wind turbine structures. Alongside traditional solvent-based products, Teknos has developed alternative water-based and high solids solvent-based paints for turbine structure surfaces. The adoption of the EU’s VOC directive on the restriction on solvent emissions has fostered this development. We have developed our paint systems to meet EN ISO 12944, EN ISO 20340 and NORSOK M-501. The Teknos product family for wind blades consists of a full range of products, from priming to finishing paints, and putties. Teknos’s advanced coatings technologies enhance the efficiency, performance and longevity of wind blades. This paint protection system for wind blades has been proven in different environment to perform in atmospheres ranging from challenging to harsh (have been approved by DNV GL).
