ETFE Adhesive Tape for Solar Application
The material known as Hostaflon, Fluon or Tefzel is today used as a transparent building envelope worldwide in the form of films (Watercube Beijing, Allianzarena Munich). Special advantages of ETFE films are their low weight, extremely high weather resistance (> 30 years) and transparency. Applications in solar technology require in many cases a very good weather resistance. In this environment, flexible solar modules with ETFE as front protection foils have been in use for more than a decade. The high transmission of the material into the UV range allows good performance in terms of electrical efficiency. ETFE builds a very good bond to the Einkaspelungsmaterial (eg EVA), so that the flexible solar modules remain tight in the long term. The adhesive tape CMC 77701 in turn sticks very well to ETFE surfaces.
