The formation of ice on the blades of a wind turbine is a major and often overlooked problem. In countries with cold climates, this leads to large operational losses for turbine owners, unstable security of supply and huge risks to people and property in the vicinity of an iced-covered wind turbine. Borealis Wind was established in 2016 to solve this problem.

The BorealisWind Ice Protection System provides a unique and patented solution that equips wind turbines with an internal ice protection system to prevent and remove ice buildup. The innovative solution utilizes lightweight FabricAir fabric ducting to ensure that airflow reaches the tip of the blade to prevent and shed ice buildup. Today, BorealisWind operates as FabricAir’s dedicated ice protection product line.
