The Coating System Helping Protect the Tylstrup Wind Farm

Project: Tylstrup Onshore Wind Farm
Location: Denmark
Coating System: PPG SIGMACOVER and SIGMADUR
Application: Wind turbine tower protection

Wind turbines might spend their entire working lives outdoors, but not all environments are created equal.

At the Tylstrup Onshore Wind Farm in Denmark, the turbine towers face challenging exposure from severe weather and the surrounding agricultural environment.

The Challenge

Wind turbine towers need to withstand years of exposure to changing weather conditions.

For asset owners, maintaining these structures isn't just about appearance. Effective corrosion protection can help reduce maintenance requirements and extend the working life of valuable infrastructure.

The Solution

PPG supplied a protective coating system based around SIGMACOVER and SIGMADUR.

The system was selected to provide long-term corrosion resistance while offering practical application characteristics for the project.

The Result

According to PPG, the coating system remained intact after almost 20 years, demonstrating the potential for long-term performance in demanding outdoor conditions.

For renewable energy operators, that kind of durability can help reduce maintenance requirements and extend the service life of critical infrastructure.

A wind turbine doesn't stop working because the weather changes. Its protective coating shouldn't either.
