Turbine Preservation - Cortec Corporation

A power station in the UK needed to preserve three multi-million dollar turbines outdoors for up to three years. Tarpaulin covers were already proving to be insufficient with corrosion starting to appear. Lake Chemicals and HITEK-nology Solutions provided the materials and services to package the turbines in VpCI^®-126 HP UV Shrink Film supplemented with VpCI^®-132 foam pads inside. As a result, the power plant discovered a low-cost storage solution that promised to protect the high-value assets for the desired term of outdoor storage.
