The Ultra-High Solids and Speed system (UHSS), a two-coat protective paint system for onshore wind turbines produced by Hempel, was granted a patent from the European Patent Office.

UHSS uses two high-solids coatings to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions by up to 70 per cent compared to standard three-coat systems, depending on the system. It also dries up to six times faster than standard three-coat systems. UHSS complies with C5-M and C4 categories for corrosive environments. C5 is the toughest standard of corrosion according to the ISO standard 12944. It produces only 396.4 kg of VOCs per 10,000m² (compared to 1373.45 kg for standard three-coat systems). The new coating dries in 3.5 hours, compared to 19 hours for standard three-coat systems. The UHSS system is available globally.
