DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions (DPVS) has launched DuPont PV5200 Series photovoltaic (PV) encapsulant sheets, based on polyvinyl butyral (PVB) polymer technology.
The new PVB sheets offer physical and processing performance levels proven in laminated glass manufacturing, with additional features designed to meet the needs of thin-film solar power generation. The encapsulants are the first in a series of products emerging from recent DuPont development to optimise encapsulants for faster, more efficient module production and longer service life.
DuPont PV5200 Series encapsulant sheets have good glass adhesion and safety glass performance, with high visible light transmission.
The new PVB-based encapsulant sheets are offered in thicknesses from 15 mil (0.38 mm) to 45 mil (1.14 mm), for sampling and use by solar module makers worldwide.
