Reliability high up
Renewable energy at lower costs. Cognis high performance Synlubes ensure a safe and trouble-free power transmission from the sails to the generator of wind turbines. They enable longer warranties and enhanced service life, as well as less maintenance and shorter downtime.
The wind has changed in many areas of power generation. Investment in renewable energy sources such as wind energy is increasing globally. Wind turbines may look very simple from the outside, but they contain very complex and technologically exacting machinery. To operate as efficiently as possible, ensuring a viable power supply, lubricants are key. Stresses are greatest at the spot where the captured energy is transferred from the sails to the generator. This is where high performance Synlubes from Cognis are used to ensure safe, trouble-free operation.

Wind turbine + Cognis Synlubes = Renewable energy at lower cost
Maintenance work on wind turbines is very difficult and expensive, firstly because the work must be done in places that are hard to reach, and secondly because high costs resulting from downtimes and servicing strain the profitability equation. Getting the most out of wind energy demands increasingly sophisticated technology – and correspondingly high lubricant performance. More and more turbine farms are being erected offshore. They are especially difficult to reach and are subjected to humid, salty air and often unfavorable weather conditions. The answer to all of these special needs: high performance Synlubes from Cognis. Thanks to their unparalleled performance, maintenance intervals are increased while spare part and disposal costs are reduced. And to benefit the environment still more, a biodegradable lubricant is currently under development.
