  • Patent number: 10714641
    Abstract: A biaxially oriented multilayer transparent film including at least two layers of polyester, respectively a core layer and at least one outer layer, which can be identical or different, wherein: i) at least the core layer includes at least one biaxially oriented transparent polyester PE1, ii) at least one of the outer layers includes, on the one hand, at least one biaxially oriented polyester PE2, and, on the other hand, particles coming from the reaction between at least one metal compound and at least one monomeric or oligomeric unit of PE2, the particles having more preferably a d50—as ?m and following an order of preference—between 0.5 and 5; between 1.0 and 4, and between 1.5 and 3.0. Also relates to the manufacture of this film and its applications as a laminate in particular in the backsheets of photovoltaic cells.

  • Publication number: 20180079878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plastic film obtained by (co)extrusion or by a multilayer extrusion process. The purpose of the invention is to supply a plastic film having useful properties, in particular of thermal behaviour, adhesion, linear tearability, and having a reduced production cost. This film contains lamellar particles based on at least one metal and/or at least one metal oxide. It is obtained by the extrusion of a raw material constituted entirely or partly by a ground material from at least one coated film comprising at least one polyester and/or polyolefin film and at least one coating film based on at least one metal and/or at least one metal oxide. The invention also relates to a method of manufacture of the raw material of the plastic film according to the invention, a method of manufacture of said plastic film as well as the uses of said film. Application in the field of packaging, decoration and heat treatments.

  • Patent number: 9608153
    Abstract: The invention concerns a multilayer biaxially oriented white polyester film (adhesion, absence of chalking, opacity whiteness, reflectance, hydrolysis resistance & light stability) comprising three polyester layers: a core layer and two outer layers and contains TiO2 particles. In this film: at least one layer comprises a PET whose: number average molecular weight is within [18500-40000]; intrinsic viscosity IV is ?0.70 dL/g; and carboxyl group content is ?30 eq/T. Additionally, the core layer comprises TiO2 particles in a range of [0.1-40]% w/w; the intrinsic viscosity IV is between [0.5-0.85] dL/g; a small endothermic peak temperature is between 180-230° C.; and at least one light stabilizer is added in at least one of the outer layers, in a total concentration between [0.1-35]% w/w. The invention also includes the method for manufacturing such film and the laminate which is part of the back sheet of a solar cell.
