  • Patent number: 10896987
    Abstract: The present invention is a sealing sheet for a back surface of a solar cell comprising only one polyester film, wherein the polyester film is composed of at least the layer A and the layer B, or the layer A, the layer B and the layer C described below, wherein the polyester film has a given whiteness and a given average reflectance of the polyester film, a given acid value of the polyester, a given thickness of the whole polyester film, a given thickness of the A layer and the B layer, and a given content of the inorganic fine particles in the whole polyester film. Layer A: a polyester resin layer in which the content of the inorganic fine particles is 10 to 35% by mass Layer B: a polyester resin layer in which the content of the inorganic fine particles is 0 to 8% by mass, which is the smallest among the contents of the inorganic fine particles in the layer A, the layer B and the layer C Layer C: a polyester resin layer in which the content of the inorganic fine particles is 0.4 to 10% by mass.

  • Patent number: 5856010
    Abstract: A surface-treated plastic film having a surface coating layer formed on at least one surface of a plastic film, which has a spreading index of aqueous and alcohol inks of 1.0-1.2, respectively, at the surface coating layer side thereof, and an ink jet recording material. The surface-treated plastic film of the present invention having respective spreading indices of aqueous and alcohol inks of 1.0-1.2 allows less spreading of the aqueous ink of ballpoint pens, is superior in writability and offset printability, and is extremely useful as a synthetic paper. In addition, the use of such surface-treated plastic film enables production of an ink jet recording material permitting high grade recording.
