Innovative corrosion protection film RENOLIT CP Advanced proves its worth in offshore pilot project

Efficiency under challenging conditions

Despite demanding offshore conditions such as working at height, wind and high humidity of 70-80%, the two-person application team was able to from WP Energy and RENOLIT, the film is easily applied more effectively in just 4.5 hours Attach working hours. A decisive advantage of the RENOLIT CP Advanced: the greater independence from weather and drying times. A foil patch is applied within a few seconds and does not require any follow-up treatment – the Corrosion protection effect is immediately active. Compared to conventional Painting work can thus save 1 to 4 hours per square metre of area become.

Another advantage of the RENOLIT CP Advanced film was its homogeneous thickness, regardless of the surface finish. The uniform protective layer forms a reliable barrier against corrosion, even on uneven surfaces, such as those found on transformer platforms or offshore installations are often encountered.

Early corrosion treatment as a preventive measure

The pilot project also underlined the importance of early Corrosion treatment. What at first glance seems like a small damage in reality, an already advanced corrosion mean. Therefore, the approach with RENOLIT CP Advanced aims to prevent corrosion in good time and not to be treated as a mere "cosmetic repair" contemplate. This is crucial for the longevity and safety of Offshore structures. 

Positive response and future prospects

The response from all participants was consistently positive. Bernd Deharde, Managing Director of Trianel Windkraftwerk Borkum GmbH & Co. KG, was very impressed: "As a modern company, we are always open to innovative solutions in the field of corrosion protection. We have been involved in the pilot project with RENOLIT CP Advanced from the very beginning. The initial results are very promising. We are looking forward to the results regular inspections and are confident that this film solution will make an important contribution to the more efficient and sustainable protection of our offshore installations and platforms."

The positive assessment is shared by the experts on site. Nikolajs Korols-Senkevics, employee of WP Energy (service provider and exclusive sales partner of RENOLIT), reports: "Many of the employees on the transformer platform have been watching the work with great interest. and were quickly convinced that the film solution would be a good choice compared to the conventional coating system is not only more effective and efficient, but also is more visually appealing. The easy handling and the clean result impressed everyone present." 

Focus on sustainability and environmental protection

Another significant advantage of the RENOLIT CP Advanced is its contribution environmental protection. Unlike conventional paint systems, there is no risk of the dripping of varnish or primer into the marine ecosystem. This underlines the potential of the film not only to increase efficiency, but also to reduce the environmental impact of corrosion protection work in sensitive offshore areas minimize.

The successful implementation of this pilot project marks a milestone in the important milestone in the development of innovative corrosion protection solutions – both for the onshore and especially for the offshore wind industry. RENOLIT plans to implement further projects with partners in the near future in order to further optimise the technology and improve its application possibilities. enlarge.

About RENOLIT CP Advanced

RENOLIT CP Advanced is an innovative high-performance film that is specially designed for designed for corrosion protection in demanding environments and offers an efficient alternative to conventional painting processes. The foil is characterized by its simple and fast application, which can be applied without primers and does not require drying times. With a thickness of ≥430 μm RENOLIT CP Advanced ensures reliable protection at temperatures from -30 to 70°C. The film is certified according to the BAW standard (ISO 12944-9 CX) and offers long-term corrosion protection of 10 years. Especially RENOLIT CP Advanced is environmentally friendly due to the avoidance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during application. In addition, there is no risk of that varnish or other harmful substances may drip into the sea or otherwise into the environment. The film is standard in RAL 7035 (light grey) available, on request also in RAL 1023 (traffic yellow).
