3M EPE Films

Overview: 

3M EPE Films

3M™ EPE Films are a multi-layer film construction consisting of Vinyl Acetate resin (EVA) bonded to both sides of a Polyester film. 3M™ EPE Films can be easily incorporated into the laminated stack of materials in a photovoltaic module. 3M™ EPE Films can be used with crystalline silicon and thin film solar cells in rigid and flexible modules.

Features: 

• Compatible with conventional encapsulants providing strong, durable bonds
• Excellent adhesion to metals, bus wires, and cell materials
• Consistent opacity
• Variety of constructions available to meet the needs of dielectric and cosmetic applications

Typical Applications: 

• Conformable and flexible for ease of lamination
• Compatible with most lamination processes
• Solvent-free manufacturing process, no residual solvents
