  • Edge sealants having balanced properties
    Patent number: 9115272
    Abstract: A sealant composition for use in two-pane or multi-pane insulating glass or solar modules, the sealant composition including: a) an olefinic polymer having a number average molecular weight from about 100 D to about 700,000 D, preferably from about 100 D to about 300,000 D; b) a modified olefinic polymer; c) a fine-particle inert filler; d) at least one of a desiccant and a water scavenger, and e) an aging resistor. The sealant composition has a tensile strength greater than 20 PSI, preferably greater than 50 PSI, a lap shear strength greater than 20 PSI, preferable greater than 40 PSI, and the tensile and lap shear strengths balanced such that the sealant fails cohesively before failing adhesively.
    Type: Grant

  • EDGE SEALANT COMPOSITION WITH REACTIVE OR UNSATURATED POLYOLEFINS
    Publication number: 20120199199
    Abstract: A solar module includes a photovoltaic device that has an edge seal. The sealant composition of the edge seal includes an unsaturated or reactive polyolefin, an olefinic polymer, a silane modified polyolefin, inert fillers, a water scavenger or desiccant, an antioxidant, and a UV stabilizer. These components are balanced to produce a sealant having desirable sealing characteristics, high weatherability, desired rheology, low conductivity, and good thermal stability.

  • USE OF CALCIUM OXIDE AS A WATER SCAVENGER IN SOLAR APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20120192946
    Abstract: A solar module includes an edge sealant. The sealant composition includes an unsaturated reactive polyolefin, an olefmic polymer, a silane modified polyolefin, inert fillers, calcium oxide, and aging resistors. These components are balanced to produce a sealant having desirable sealing characteristics, high weatherability, desired rheology, low conductivity, and good water absorption.
