SAERfoam is a hybrid structural core material that combines ultra-light PU, PE or PIR foams with integrated 3D glass bridges. The result: individually adaptable mechanical properties, extremely low weight and high structural strength - ideal for highly stressed areas of rotor blades.
SAERfoam for Wind has now been subjected to a patented buckling test fixture in the Fraunhofer IWES test laboratory. Real load scenarios are simulated, as they occur in the particularly stressed transition areas of rotor blades.
The results of this test confirm that fiber-reinforced core materials can match the mechanical stability, consistency and reliability of conventional balsa wood. In addition, this engineered core material provides considerable advantages in terms of cost and supply chain efficiency, ensuring consistent quality and availability.
