  • Patent number: 8878054
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer film of A/B/C structure comprising: a first layer of composition A, comprising a fluoropolymer; a second layer of composition B, comprising a filled fluoropolymer; and a third layer of composition C, comprising a fluoropolymer, characterized in that the first and third layers have a melting point above 150° C., measured by DSC, and in that the transmittance in visible light is less than 30% for a multilayer film thickness of 25 ?m. The invention also relates to the use of a fluoropolymer-based film preferably for a photovoltaic cell back panel, a high-performance textile or a metal, the film adhering to the substrate by means of an adhesive layer placed between the substrate and the film.

  • Patent number: 8501862
    Abstract: The invention relates to an extrusion agent comprising: at least one heterogeneous PVDF (A), in other words a copolymer of VDF and at least one comonomer of VDF, comprising by weight at least 50%, advantageously at least 75%, of VDF which has a melting point Tm (expressed in ° C.)>172-549 m, preferably >1.1×(172-549 m), where m denotes the overall molar percentage of comonomer(s); and at least one interface agent (B), which are optionally diluted in a polyolefin (C). The heterogeneous PVDF preferably has a Tm of between 160 and 172° C. Advantageously it is also a VDF-HFP copolymer containing, by weight, from 88% to 92% of VDF and from 8% to 12% of HFP. The extrusion agent is used to reduce or eliminate the surface defects which arise during the extrusion of a thermoplastic resin (D). This resin may be a polyolefin, a styrenic resin, a polyester or a PVC. Optionally it may also be filled, i.e., may contain dispersed organic or inorganic particles.

  • Patent number: 8053502
    Abstract: The invention concerns to a composition comprising: at least one fluorinated polymer (A), at least one interfacing agent (B), and at least one stabilizer (C) of formula (I) wherein Ar1 and Ar2 represent an aryl group. The composition is used as an agent for extruding a thermoplastic polyolefin or resin. The invention also concerns an extruding method consisting in: (i) contacting in the solid phase a composition as defined above with a thermoplastic polyolefin or a thermoplastic resin; (ii) then extruding the mixture obtained in (i) in the form of a film, a tube, a profiled section or a hollow body.

  • Patent number: 7867604
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition coextrudable with PVDF and comprising: 30 to 50 parts of PVDF; 70 to 50 parts of a copolymer comprising, by weight, 90 to 50% of methyl methacrylate (MMA) per 10 to 50% of an alkyl (meth)acrylate respectively, the alkyl having from 2 to 24 carbon atoms; 1 to 4 parts of a UV absorber; the total making 100 parts. The invention also relates to coextruded films consisting of this composition as the adhesive layer and a PVDF-based layer of 50 to 100 parts of PVDF per 50 to 0 parts of PMMA respectively. These films possess mechanical properties sufficient to allow them to be used as a coating transparent to visible light but opaque to UV radiation.
