Reichhold’s Technology Center in Sandefjord, Norway has been granted 7,1 million NOK (approximately € 1 million) over a 3 year period for the RenWind project under the Norwegian Research Council’s clean energy program.
The RenWind project’s objective is to develop environmentally friendly and cost-efficient high performance no emission vinyl hybrid resin systems for production of wind turbine blades. The funds are to be used on external tests and research work. Equivalent amount of work will have to be performed by Reichhold internally. Partnerships have been formed with several institutes like SINTEF Materials and Chemistry (MC) and DTU Wind Energy, Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics (Former Risø National Laboratory).
