Bergolin 1-Component Topcoat 6P1600 – Reduced process times, easy handling and VOC-free
The comparison of 1C and 2C coating systems, and the associated discussion regarding the differences in their performance, has been a topic for many years, not only for applications in the wind power industry. With over 20 years of experience in coating rotor blades, Bergolin GmbH & Co. KG has developed a solution that allows users to deploy 1C systems without performance losses while at the same time improving process times.
As a full-range supplier for rotor blade coating, repair and maintenance, Bergolin has developed Bergolin 1-Component Topcoat 6P1600, a fast-drying 1-component coating system that combines the advantages of 1C and 2C systems. It is an HSE-compliant aqueous system with very good durability properties that is ideally suited for use in the factory or during maintenance.

Process times reduced by 45 percent
On top of these advantages process times are shorter. Even for a two-layer coating, process times can be reduced by up to 45 percent. Especially when compared to conventional single-layer 2C systems, there are considerable process advantages. The greatest time savings are achieved through the very short drying times. Drying level 7 is reached after just 120 minutes and the rotor blade is ready for further production steps.
In demanding application scenarios, 1C systems have often been avoided up to now. In terms of resistance, the 1-Component Topcoat 6P1600 from Bergolin achieves the performance level of conventional 2-component systems. With its very good resistance to mechanical and chemical stress, it is suitable for almost all weather and climatic conditions. Rotor blade surfaces made of GRP can thus be effectively protected against high weather exposure and strong UV radiation.
Easy handling and VOC-free
Users get all the benefits of a 1-component coating system with Bergolin 1-Component Topcoat 6P1600. This state-of-the-art topcoat from Bergolin does not contain any volatile organic compounds (VOC-free) and is easy to use. Mixing with hardeners is eliminated, and so is pot life, enabling technicians to achieve more even application quality on the rotor blades.
