second training seminar for the
wind energy market on October
27th and 28th. This CCPU event
entitled, "Composites in Wind II",
will be held at CCP's Technology
Center located in Kansas City,
Missouri. CCP and Composites One,
as well as other industry
leaders, will conduct class room
tutorials and product
demonstrations.
Over 70 professionals from the

overwhelming success from this
first class. Topics covered will
include best practices for wind
blade manufacturing, new
composite materials and
techniques for repair.
Specialists in composite
materials, processing methods
and application equipment will
lead workshops and seminars.
Here are just a few of the
comments from attendees at
February's event:
"The training at the Composites
in Wind Energy laid a firm
foundation for building my
knowledge of composites
materials" Robert Kane , TPI
Composites
"Compared to the myriad of
conferences for the wind market,
this was far and away more
informative, instructive and as
a forum�open!!!",
Josh Crayton, Rope Partner
Todd Blanton,Heartland Energy
Solutions, said "we used the
training from an earlier CCPU
tooling class to build our blade
molds for our start-up in 2009.
We came back to this one to
learn more about Epovia vinyl
ester resins"
"I learned some great things
that I am taking back to our
nacelle plant to implement",
Michelle Jones, Wasuaukee
Composites, Cuba City Division.
Along with the opportunity for
industry networking, a few of
the key areas to be discussed
during these hands-on sessions
included Wind Blade Design,
CCP's latest Epovia Vinyl Ester
Technologies, Reinforcement
Selection, abrasion control
through Hybrid Coating
Technology, and CCP's newly
introduced Structural Bonding

The World Wind
Energy
Conference &
Exhibition WWEC,
the leading
event in wind
energy, taking
place in a
different
continent each
year, will be
held in Istanbul,
Turkey, from 15
to 17 June 2010.
The 9th World
Wind Energy
Conference and
Exhibition

players of wind
energy
technologies,
industries and
policies are
gathered
together to
share the latest
technologies and
information
effecting
strategic
decisions.
The special
