Momentive Performance Materials Inc. says it has expanded its line of SilTRUST silicone products, which are designed for solar module manufacturing.
The new SilTRUST TSE3822-W adhesive sealant is a one-component, oxime-cure silicone adhesive that cures into elastic rubber at room temperature upon exposure to moisture in the air. The product offers "excellent adhesion" to most materials used in the photovoltaic industry, including aluminum frames, back sheets and glass, the company notes.
SilTRUST TSE3667 potting material is a two-component, condensation-cure silicone rubber developed for electric potting. It cures at room temperature to form an elastic flame retardant rubber that adheres to various types of materials, including most metals, plastics, glass and ceramics, without the use of primers, Momentive adds
