Wind Protection Solutions
3M™ Wind Protection Tapes are based on the same dependable technology used to protect helicopter blades and aircraft radomes.
Applied to the leading edge of wind turbine blades, these high-performance polyurethane tapes have proven ability to maintain turbine efficiency, reduce downtime and maintenance, and extend the useful life of blades – even in the harshest environments.
3M™ Wind Protection Tapes can be applied at the factory or in the field via rope or platform access.

Wind blade efficiency
3M™ Wind Blade Protection Tapes are constructed from an exceptionally tough, abrasion and puncture-resistant polyurethane elastomer that stands up to rain, sand, dirt or other debris.
Erosion Prevention
Poor blade performance can significantly erode revenue and profits. And yet rotating wind turbine blades are assaulted daily with high-speed sand, rain, hail or other debris that can cause damage and reduce aerodynamic efficiency – or compromise blade strength.
3M™ Wind Surface Protection Tapes shield leading edges and surfaces from pitting, wear and water ingression. Constructed from tough, abrasion-resistant polyurethane elastomers, Wind Protection Tapes from 3M resist erosion and weathering. 3M Protection Tapes are UV stable, solvent-free, require no special application tools and conform to complex shapes.
