Panacol has developed a range of multi-functional adhesive selections for applications in flexible photovoltaics and electronics. For organic photovoltaics
(OPV) applications, these adhesives provide higher resistance to environmental stresses, improved compatibility with the photovoltaic (PV) material and good adhesion to the substrates.
New conductive adhesives efficiently adhere and protect electrical connections for surface mount device (SMD) components in flexible assemblies.
Custom Adhesive Solutions for Unique OPV Designs
In all cases, the specific requirements of the application and its assembly process are key factors to consider when making an adhesive selection. Significant benefits can be realized when an optimal pairing is achieved with the component design, assembly, (UV) adhesive properties, and the curing process. High throughput processes, including roll-to-roll can be run with greater efficiency which reduces total cost of operation. The adhesives requirements such as flow properties can be modified in this context to suit the application process perfectly.
As new designs are evolving rapidly, very little standardization exists in the manufacturing of OPV. To support this evolution, adhesives must be modified or developed to meet the customers’ unique OPV design, materials, and processes. Panacol has anticipated this need and is prepared to work with manufacturers to provide adhesive customization and development as quickly as possible.
