Arkema, Inc. manufactures Kynar® film for use in the protection of photovoltaic modules. Kynar® film provides long term protection of PV modules and when used in the construction of PV back sheet provides for long term UV and weathering protection of the underlying PET dielectric layer. PET alone will not provide enough resistance to UV and weathering. Kynar® film is also used for front sheet protection of solar modules and is completely resistant to UV degradation, will not chalk or yellow, has excellent dirt shedding properties and very high light transmittance. Kynar® film is also very tough and has excellent mechanical properties and abrasion resistance. Kynar® PVDF polymer has been used for over 40 years in the architectural coatings market and is well recognized as the worlds most weather resistant coatings polymer (Kynar® 500). This same excellent weathering performance is seen with Kynar® film for front sheet and back sheet applications. Protect your investment, by specifying Kynar® film.
