Sartomer Co. has announced the introduction of a line of acrylate oligomers for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Based on polybutadiene or hydrogenated polybutadiene, Sartomer’s oligomers are ideally suited as formulation ingredients for PV barrier coatings, sealants, adhesives, dielectrics and encapsulents. Sartomer oligomers offer good oxygen, moisture and chemical resistance, and will yield films that are flexible and have low T_g. Hydrogenated products offer the additional benefit of color and physical property stability against light and environmental degradation.

CN307, CN308, CN309 and CN9014 oligomers are now commercially available. Additional products will be released soon.
