  • Patent number: 8791182
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell sealing film obtained from a composition comprising chiefly ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and organic peroxides for giving crosslinked structure, which suppresses the occurrence of blisters without reduction of crosslink rate, even if the film contains silane-coupling agents for improving adhesive strength. The solar cell sealing film comprises ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an organic peroxide, a silane-coupling agent, and a phosphite compound represented by formula (I): P(OR1)3??(I) wherein, R1 is a branched-chain aliphatic alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, and three R1s are the same as or different from each other and further wherein the content of the vinyl acetate recurring unit of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is in the range of 20 to 35% by weight.

  • Patent number: 8791186
    Abstract: A method of determining that a thermoplastic was insufficiently dried before forming into a molded plastic part. The method comprises preparing a mixture of a thermoplastic polymer and an off-gassing compound, wherein the off-gassing compound is selected to release all water of hydration in response to target drying conditions specified for the thermoplastic polymer. The mixture is dried at actual drying conditions, and then heated to reduce the viscosity of the thermoplastic polymer and allow the mixture to flow. The mixture is then made to flow into a mold to form a plastic part at a molding temperature, wherein the molding temperature will cause any remaining water of hydration in the off-gas sing compound to off-gas and form surface irregularities in the plastic part. Non-limiting examples of the off-gassing compound include hydrated metal halides and ionic hydrates.

  • Patent number: 8791187
    Abstract: A polyester composition containing: a) aluminum atoms; and b) alkaline earth atoms or alkali metal atoms or alkali compound residues such as lithium atoms; and c) particles comprising titanium, zirconium, vanadium, niobium, hafnium, tantalum, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, iron, or nickel atoms or combinations thereof, where the particles improve the reheat rate of the polyester composition. The polyester polymer compositions may also contain phosphorus catalyst deactivators/stabilizers. The polyester compositions and the articles made from the compositions such as bottle preforms and stretch blow molded bottles have improved reheat rate while maintaining low haze, high L*, a b* below 3, and have low levels of acetaldehyde. In the process for making the polyester polymer, the polymer melt is polycondensed in the presence of a) and b), with the particles c) added in a melt phase process or added to the polymer in an injection molding machine or extruder.
