Cutting-Edge Features of the Low WVTR Backsheet
The newly developed low WVTR backsheet offers exceptional protection and performance:
- Superior Light-Shielding – Uniform pigment distribution enhances efficiency and longevity.
- Unmatched Resistance to UV & Damp-Heat Aging – Extends module lifespan.
- Ultra-Low Water Vapour Transmission Rate – Less than 0.1 g/m² per day, ensuring superior moisture resistance.
- Strong Adhesion to EVA/POE Film – Ensures stable module construction.
- High Retention of Water Permeability Resistance – Maintains performance after prolonged damp-heat exposure.
Withstanding 2,000 hours of damp-heat testing with minimal yellowing, this backsheet is a game-changer in solar applications. A customizable WVTR range (0.1-0.01 g/m² per day) allows manufacturers to tailor products to specific needs.
