“We are working hard to become the material house of choice for solar panel manufacturers by creating new options and innovative solutions to meet their most critical needs of improved performance, costs, availability and durability,” said Gaetan Borgers, global industry director, Dow Corning Solar Business.
Adhesives and Sealants:
Dow Corning adhesives and sealants for solar applications are designed to provide long-term bonding and protection against moisture, environmental degradation, mechanical and thermal shock.
Dow Corning PV-8030 Adhesive is an easy-to-use, one-part material ideal for rail bonding applications where room-temperature curing is preferred. It is recommended specifically for structural bonding applications with typical PV substrates.
Dow Corning PV-8303 Ultra Fast Cure Sealant is a two-part material ideal when fully automated production is desired. It delivers better durability and strength for rail bonding, frame sealing and junction box adhesion.
It cures at room temperature and develops adhesion rapidly to metal, glass and plastic substrates. Adhesion is normally good to most substrates without the use of primer or of surface activation methods. The two-part product allows for custom cure rates.
These products join Dow Corning PV-8301 Fast Cure Sealant, which was introduced in 2008, in the company’s lineup of rail bonding, frame sealing and junction box adhesive solutions.
