  • Publication number: 20240063320
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photovoltaic module backsheet comprising, in order: photovoltaic module backsheet comprising a functional layer and a weather-resistant layer, wherein the backsheet is free of fluorinated polymers, characterized in that: i) the functional layer comprises a blend of polyethylene and a polyethylene copolymer, wherein at least 50 wt. % of the functional layer is polyethylene; and ii) the weather-resistant layer comprises, a first sub-layer facing the functional layer and a second sub-layer, wherein a) each of the first sub-layer and the second sub-layer comprise at least 50 wt. % polypropylene; and b) the second sub-layer has a lowest glass transition temperature (Tg) below ?40° C. The present invention also relates to a process for producing the backsheet and a photovoltaic module comprising the backsheet according to the present invention.

  • Patent number: 10196539
    Abstract: The invention relates to thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising an unsaturated resin comprising ethylenic unsaturations and a thermal radical initiator comprising a first thermal radical initiator, wherein the first thermal radical initiator is a methyl-substituted benzoyl peroxide abbreviated herein as MBPO. The invention further relates to a process for making said thermosetting powder coating composition and processes for coating an article with said thermosetting powder coating composition. The invention further relates to a cured thermosetting powder coating composition derived upon curing of the thermosetting powder coating composition of the invention. The invention further relates to an article having coated thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition as well as to an article having coated and cured thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition.
