The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a contract worth US 1,800,000 to Webcore Technologies for developing its TYCOR W Core Material, which is used in wind turbine blades. These funds were allocated to Webcore from DOE’s Small Business Phase III Xlerator Program.

TYCOR W is used in the manufacture of wind turbine blades and is an engineered core material used in composite structures. The TYCOR technology consists of a combination of fiber reinforcement such as mat or E-glass roving along with a low density foam inside a closed cell, engineered architecture. It is usually used in utility class turbine blades and can also be transformed to be used in 40-60 blade lengths used in 1.5-3 MW wind turbines.

WebCore established in 1991 invented TYCOR, which is a fiber reinforced core and is used in the defense, infrastructure and transportation industries. It is now developing branches and networks for distribution in both Europe and Asia
