  • Patent number: 9570642
    Abstract: Provided is a sealing material sheet for solar cell modules, which is obtained by irradiating a polyethylene resin with ionizing radiation and has high transparency, heat resistance and adhesion at the same time. This sealing material sheet for solar cell modules contains a low density polyethylene having a density of 0.900 g/cm3 or less, while having a gel fraction of from 0% to 40% (inclusive) and a degree of dispersity (Mw/Mn), which is the ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) in terms of polystyrene, of from 2.5 to 3.5 (inclusive).

  • Patent number: 9147784
    Abstract: The present invention provides a crosslinked polyethylene sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module offering exceptional heat resistance, wherein the sealing material sheet is provided with high metal-adhesion performance. A sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module comprises a sealing material sheet composition for a solar-cell module containing a polyethylene resin in a concentration of 0.900 g/cm3 or less, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), a radical polymerization initiator, and triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC), wherein the GMA content of the sealing material sheet is 0.15 to 3.0% by mass, the TAIC content of the sealing material sheet is 0.15 to 3.0% by mass, and the radical polymerization initiator content of the sealer is 0.01 to 2.5% by mass.
