Introducing the Alexit® BladeRep® Advanced Lightning Protection topcoat, ALP 20, designed with Arctura’s innovative ArcGuide® technology.
-
How it Works
ALP20 is a surface-applied coating that redirects damaging lightning energy away from vulnerable areas of the wind turbine blade. Applied as a topcoat during manufacturing or repair, ALP20 safely directs lightning current to ground, reducing burn-through and structural damage.
-
Results
Third-party lab testing indicates a projected 73% reduction in lightning-induced blade damage when using ALP20. In high-voltage leader attachment tests, lightning energy consistently followed the coated path—demonstrating clear advantages over standard topcoats. High-current arc entry tests further confirmed ALP20’s durability, showing no damage to the coating.

Benefits
ArcGuide® minimizes downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and extends blade life—delivering measurable ROI for turbine operators. Unlike other aftermarket products, ALP20 adds no aerodynamic drag and does not need to be replaced. It also integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and enhances your fleet’s resilience in lightning-prone regions.
