Benjamin Debusschère for your support from start to finish through the event.

and of course to the sponsors who made the JEC Composites Connect event possible Airbus, Daimler AG, Kordsa, and Magna International.

Great work to all the finalists and a special congratulations to the other winners: CompPair Technologies Ltd. and Continuous Composites. We look forward to seeing everyone in Paris next year for 2022!

Elemental Coatings is proud to announce we have been selected as finalists for the JEC Composites Connect event! Over 1,000 composites value chain companies across 46 countries applied and we are 1 of 20 that have been selected as a finalist to present at the 2021 .

We appreciate this opportunity to present our anti-icing coatings at the event and wish our fellow innovators good luck!

Ever wonder how planes land in the Antarctic? Wheeled aircraft are able to land thanks to the development of blue-ice runways. Prior to the development of these runways, deliveries could only be made by ship - limited to the summer time when the polar ice started melting – or, by ski-equipped smaller aircraft.

So what is blue-ice? Blue ice forms in areas where there is no net annual snow accumulation. However, the lack of snow accumulation is due to wind transport and sublimation, rather than melting. This results in a low light reflectance, which is why the ice appears blue in color. As air bubbles are forced out of the blue-ice, the density of the ice increases, which strengthens the ice surface and allows for wheeled aircraft to safely be supported by the runway. Since aircrafts can only rely on reverse thrust to decelerate, blue-ice runways are typically miles long!

Thanks to their development, blue-ice runways allow for safer transport of cargo and allow for rescue and medical flights to the Antarctic.

Thank you to the United States Air Force SBIR/STTR and AFWERX team for making the Collider event a success this year! It was great meeting members of the DoD and collaborating with participating companies at the event. We look forward to working with all those who face icing challenges during their winter operations.

Listen as our CEO discusses how our anti-icing coatings offer a passive technology solution for icing challenges that many wind farms face.

A special thank you to Allen Hall, CEO of Weather Guard Wind Energy and Dan Blewett, Podcast Host of the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast, for having us on your show.

Why Did The Texas Wind Turbine Icing Problems Occur? In Texas, early in 2021, wind turbine icing was brought to the national spotlight as power production halted, sending the state into a massive power outage.
