PUR - and the wind energy market
PUR in the wind turbine sector
Focus on climate: strong collaboration with the wind turbine industry
Polyurethane contains many development opportunities for material in the cleantech industry, not least turbine components for wind turbines.
In relation to the wind turbine industry, the development opportunities lie first and foremost in the fact that PUR is a light material that has very high strength and very good machining possibilities. Features that are particularly interesting for wind turbine manufacturers.
At Tinby A/S, we enter into close relationships with our partners to develop and implement projects aimed at bringing production of PUR solutions into the world. We thus cooperate with, among other things, wind turbine manufacturers and product developers.
A collaboration is typically achieved in a way that the wind turbine manufacturer develops and defines clear requirement specifications for the items, while we at Tinby A/S provide technical know-how including design and practical competencies. Thus, this collaboration ensures the best solutions in relation to form, function and quality.
At Tinby A/S, we are constantly developing new solutions for the wind industry, for example:
- Innovative elastomer solutions
- Optimized prototype solutions
- New glass laminate solutions
- Advanced core technology in core materials
- Lightweight material and sandwich structures
- Lightning cables
- Vacuum films and bags
- Parts for covering and construction
- Wing cores, balance blocks and transport components

PUR 1150 Solid
Unique raw material for lightning protection systems
Tinby A/S works with the raw material PUR 1150 Solid, a polyurethane formulation with special properties for embedding electrical components.
Functions as an electrical insulator
PUR 1150 Solid acts as a protective electrical insulator when cast around electrical components. This versatile PUR can be molded in varying thicknesses and used in custom, fully client-specific solutions.
At Tinby, we have extensive experience using PUR 1150 Solid in products where electrical conductivity needs to be reduced. The image below shows an example of a model where PUR 1150 Solid is integrated around parts of lightning protection cables.
Close collaboration with the world’s leading supplier of chemical products
PUR 1150 Solid has been developed in close collaboration with the world’s leading suppliers of chemical materials, guaranteeing more than 35 years of experience with polyurethane for electronic components.
Tinby A/S collaborates with the best and most innovative raw material suppliers. With strong partners backing us, we ensure that our customers always have access to the latest knowledge.
A well-functioning and thoroughly tested lightning protection system
Lightning strikes on wind turbines are a challenge for all wind turbine manufacturers. On average, a lightning strike hits a wind turbine once a year, depending on the weather conditions where the turbine is located. Lightning damage to turbine blades is an expensive matter due to downtime and repairs.
PUR 1150 Solid is a thoroughly tested and well-functioning lightning protection system made of polyurethane.

PUR 150 Energy
A raw material suitable for lightweight cores in wind turbine blades
PUR 150 Energy is a polyurethane blend that withstands high temperatures. The material is suitable for various types of core materials and is ideal for casting complex components in varying thicknesses.
Since the raw material results in a "tough" finished product, even very thin sections do not become brittle. This makes the component durable, impact-resistant, and easy to work with.
PUR 150 Energy is a raw material that enables the casting of large, complex components. The material is easy to process, making production cost-effective and ensuring a competitive end product. The surface is easy to sandblast and treat and can be adapted to all geometries. The material is easy to combine and fuse with other construction materials, making it ideal for the production of wind turbine blades, for example.
Within the wind turbine industry, it is used PUR 150 Energy Particularly due to its low density, durability, and easy machinability, it can be used as an alternative to materials such as balsa wood.
