Description

~We at DuPont Teijin Films believe in a sustainable future, the foundations for which need to be created by science and innovation today.

The surge in demand for alternative energy sources has created a need for new films such as those which provide protection and enhanced lifetime for photovoltaic (PV) modules.

Today DuPont Teijin Films supplies a range of custom-designed high performance PET films for use in PV backsheet applications, a market in which we have many years of experience, strong customer relationships and a substantial market share.

In order to maintain our leadership in the global PV market DuPont Teijin Films has introduced a new range of innovative high performance backsheets under the Mylar® iGuard™ brand.

Using proprietary technology Mylar® iGuard™ backsheets are manufactured from highly engineered PET film that has excellent resistance to environmental degradation whether by hydrolysis or UV light and a structure that reduces failure modes.

Mylar® iGuard™ therefore provides a durable barrier that protects module components from the effects of weathering whilst maintaining electrical insulation protection for the *5 year service life of the module.

Mylar® iGuard™ - only from DuPont Teijin Films

Mylar® iGuard™ backsheets provide
- Excellent dimensional stability and high mechanical strength
- Ease of processing
- Superior hydrolysis resistance, achieving over ***0 hours lifetime in the damp heat test
- Resistance to degradation by UV radiation that builds on more than *0 years of experience in UV stabilized polyester films and can be tailored for specific customer needs
- Industry-standard partial discharge resistance
- UL*4 VTM*2 flame rating

Mylar® iGuard™ backsheets offer the optimum balance between the robust technical performance required to provide peace of mind for suppliers, investors and operators, and the cost effectiveness demanded by the PV market today and into the future.
