The rapid curing and rapid project completion characteristics of reinforced inorganic zinc and polyaspartic ester technology enables new windmills to receive two-coat systems and be ready for shipment within 12 hrs. Significant cost reduction and optimization of life cycle costs are achieved for both new construction and maintenance projects using this technology.

The first part of this paper describes the chemistry and laboratory testing of novel reinforced inorganic zinc and polyaspartic ester coatings used for the corrosion protection of windmills.

In the second part of this paper a case history is discussed where these applicator-friendly conventional application - coating systems have been applied to windmills.
