SpecialChem
- Jul 3, 2009
Bollate -- The new Halar ECTFE film from Solvay Solexis is the best option for front sheets used
in photovoltaic (PV) modules. Front sheets are used as a protective barrier for the interior components of the PV
module. Critical film requirements include low water vapor permeation and excellent UV resistance, a high degree
of visible light transmission, service life up to 25 years and, in some cases, increased mechanical impact
strength.
Halar ECTFE film produced for photovoltaic applications is UV stable and optically clear with more than 90%
transmission of light in the visible spectrum. Films made of Halar ECTFE exhibit nearly an order of magnitude
lower permeation rate than ETFE. In addition the significantly...
