As the wind industry grows and turbines are built larger, safety issues grow right along with them. One way to make turbines safer to work around is to lighten the weight of components and construction tools that assemble them.
In 2013, Windpower Engineering & Development magazine, wrote about a company called Victrex whose (polyaryletherketone) peek polymers are “said to be a good choice when replacing (some) metal wind-turbine components.”
