WebCore Technologies LLC developed TYCOR W as a high performance alternative to balsa and foam cores to help blade designers and fabricators reduce total cost and weight for utility scale wind turbine blade production.
The one-inch thick TYCOR W saves an average of 0.5 pounds per square foot and reduces resin usage by 0.2 pounds per square foot when compared to one-inch thick balsa. WebCore’s composite core technology combines fiberglass and closed-cell foam in an engineered architecture to meet required design loads. TYCOR W is supplied on a just-in-time basis to support lean inventory requirements and help customers reduce costs.
