United Initiators' crosslinking agents have produced dramatic results in the solar industry. Many in the polymer industry have historically used the same EVA encapsulation materials. Their products -- like DHBP and TBPEHC -- are used in the solar panels, and have benefited from
United Initiators' organic peroxide for crosslinking. Today our initiators are considered essential to the manufacturing of EVA encapsulates, standard materials in
PVMs.
United Initiators Leads the Way in Specialized Crosslinking Organic Peroxides
United Initiators specializes in manufacturing and supplying cross-linking agents to compounders and manufacturers of EVA encapsulates. Cross-linking with organic peroxide initiators adds many product and performance advantages, chief of which is the improvement in stability of the EVA encapsulate films.
How Our Crosslinking Organic Peroxides Enhance the EVA Encapsulates
The silicon wafer is where the action is in a
photovoltaic module (PVM), and it requires special protection to ensure it performs at maximum levels for an extended period of time. Stabilizing EVA encapsulates improves their
performance, and stabilizes their color and cure characteristics. EVA Encapsulates are typically made with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which in sheet form is used to surround and protect silicon wafers and the PVMs' circuitry.
Chemical crosslinking essentially changes the performance characteristics and better stabilizes the EVA encapsulating materials. United Initiators informs our customers about the
best uses of initiators and tailors organic peroxides for customers' needs. For example, TBPEHC is a tailored peroxide specifically for the EVA encapsulation.
