(Plastemart) -- DuPont Performance
Polymers has augmented its portfolio of thermoplastic materials by introducing
two specific grades of DuPont Rynite polyethylene terephtalate (PET) for solar
applications. UV-resistant DuPont Rynite PET resins are designed for
cost-effective manufacturing of photovoltaic module frames and components, the
company says.
Rynite 935SUV is a 35% glass-fiber/mineral-reinforced, UV-stabilized
grade of PET suitable for injection molding; Rynite 540SUV is a 40%
glass-fiber-reinforced, UV-stabilized grade of PET suitable for extrusion and
injection molding.
Both grades combine high stiffness with low warpage and have been
specifically developed for long-term outdoor applications. When used in
photovoltaic applications, DuPont"s polymers can help increase design
flexibility for greater ease of assembly and installation, as well as provide an
opportunity for functional integration (thereby reducing the overall number of
components), according to the company.
