  • Patent number: 9318634
    Abstract: Provided is a vinylidene fluoride resin composition resistant to yellowing in the test for evaluation of durability of moist heat resistance, even when it is laminated directly on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)-based sealing material, and a resin film, a back sheet for solar cells and a solar cell module comprising the same. A vinylidene fluoride resin composition at least comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin having a peak value ratio of head-to-tail bond to head-to-head bond (head-to-tail bond/head-to-head bond), as determined by 1H-NMR, of 11.5 or less and a mass-average molecular weight (Mw) of 1.30×105 or more, and an antioxidant is processed into a vinylidene fluoride resin film having a thickness of 10 to 200 ?m. The vinylidene fluoride resin film and an electric insulating resin film such as polyethylene terephthalate-based film are laminated, to give a back sheet for solar cells.

  • Patent number: 8895140
    Abstract: Provided is a vinylidene fluoride resin film that has good adhesiveness to a base material, achieves good dispersivity even when a pigment is contained in large amounts, and has excellent thermal stability during a forming process. To a resin component composed of a vinylidene fluoride resin and a methacrylic acid ester resin, a predetermined amount of a titanium oxide surface treated with alumina and silica and a predetermined amount of a fatty acid ester of polyethylene glycol and/or its derivative are added to prepare a vinylidene fluoride resin film. Alternatively, at least a front side layer and a back side layer have such a composition, the front side layer has a combination amount of the vinylidene fluoride resin and the methacrylic acid ester resin of 70:30 to 95:5 in terms of mass ratio, and the back side layer has a combination amount of the vinylidene fluoride resin and the methacrylic acid ester resin of 5:95 to 45:55 in terms of mass ratio.

  • Patent number: 8722791
    Abstract: Provided is a polyvinylidene fluoride resin composition that has good inorganic pigment dispersivity. Based on 100 parts by mass of a resin component containing two types of polyvinylidene fluorides having different forms or different melt flow characteristics in a total amount of 50 to 95% by mass and polymethyl methacrylate in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass, 7 to 40 parts by mass of a white inorganic pigment and 0.01 to 7 parts by mass of an inorganic pigment for toning are mixed to produce the resin composition. At that time, at least one of the two types of polyvinylidene fluorides to be used has an MFR (230° C., 3.8 kg load) of 3 to 35 g/10 min and the polymethyl methacrylate to be used has an MFR (230° C., 10 kg load) of 2 to 20 g/10 min.
