Abstract: The invention relates to pellets of ?-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymers with a vinyl acetate content of ?40% by weight, based on the total weight of the ?-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymer, as an embedding material for solar modules, wherein the pellets comprise, as additives, at least one UV activator and at least one silane coupling reagent, and to the use thereof for the production of films for solar modules.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing pourable pulverulent rubber-filler mixtures starting from rubber solutions is disclosed. In this method, the filler is dispersed in an organic solvent and then mixed with a rubber solution to obtain a stable rubber-containing filler dispersion. The dispersion is then introduced into hot water containing a dispersed filler and subjected to high shear forces, causing the organic solvent to simultaneously be largely distilled off. After the rubber-containing filler dispersion has been completely added, an aqueous filler dispersion is added, water is removed from the precipitated rubber-filler mixture, and the product mixture is dried under constant agitation.
