Latest Patents
Koll's latest patents include a method of producing solar modules by the roller laminate process. This invention relates to a method of producing a solar module by laminating a layer body consisting of a first carrier, to which at least one solar cell unit is applied, and a second carrier by at least one intermediate film based on a plasticizer-containing polyvinyl acetal. The process involves guiding the layer body between at least one pair of rollers at a temperature of 50 to 150°C. Another significant patent is for a film for composite security disks with self-adhesiveness. This invention proposes the use of plasticized films suitable as an intermediate layer in laminated safety glass, based on partially acetalized polyvinyl alcohols, particularly PVB. The addition of a pentaerythritol ester reduces self-adhesion without altering the adhesion of the film to glass, thus eliminating the need to cool the films for stacking or wind-up.
