DELO, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial adhesives for the automotive, consumer electronics and semiconductor industries, now offers adhesives for solar cells. These light-curing products, made from epoxy resins or acrylates, are well suited for bonding the protective films of thin-film solar cells. The adhesives also act as an effective barrier against humidity.
Thin-film solar cells are used for facades, lightweight roofs, or charging columns. Made up of several layers, with a thickness in the millimeter range, these solar cells feature active, energy-producing layers that are often vapor-deposited onto glass or an organic carrier material and covered with protective film on the front and back.
