21.1.1 Explain: a. the function of the paint layers on a wind turbine blade and describe the materials from which paint products can be made b. the health and safety risks associated with paint products by considering the base and hardener materials and the solvents used to thin the paint c. the precautions to be adopted to mitigate the health and safety risks posed from paint products by considering the use of PPE and the type of filters required for a mask d. the term ‘flash-off time’ in the context of paint products e. the difference between one and two-factor component paint; the advantages and disadvantages. f. how to follow instructions on correct mixing ratios for two-factor components in accordance with Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet, including application methods and curing mechanisms. g. why it is important to follow a blade manufacturer’s work instruction for painting a blade by considering the correct surface finish for paint adhesion, whether the paint requires one or two coats, the curing time for the paint, and the ambient humidity and temperature limits 21.1.7 Facilitate practice to improve the participants’ ability to safely apply paint to a blade surface to a specified layer thickness and to be able to measure the layer thickness with a wet film gauge. The trailing edge section built in Lesson 19 can be used for this; one side of the trailing edge section should be painted with one-factor component. The other side with two-factor component
