  • Publication number: 20120273718
    Abstract: A cross-linking system which includes at least; one organic peroxide having a half-life of one hour at any temperature selected in the range from 80 DEG C. to 115 DEG C., and a cross-linking coagent, the half-life of said peroxide being measured by dissolving the peroxide in n-dodecane having a concentration of 0.2 mol/l. Said system enables, when added to a polymer, quick cross-linking of said polymer. The system is in particular suitable for encapsulating photovoltaic modules; in particular, the system can be used to improve the productivity of the method for manufacturing said modules.
