Top 3 Silicone Sheets Rubber Membranes For Solar PV Panels Lamination

As technology progresses, Deer Hunter has introduced the top 3 silicone sheets for solar PV panels lamination. They are 2nd Gen5th Gen, and 5th-lite Gen. The solar silicone membranes are mainly designed to protect the PV panels and the lamination equipment in extreme temperatures.

In the process of solar photovoltaic panels laminations, the panel manufacturers encapsulate all components with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesive film to ensure that module layers remain secure. That will cause high heat to melt the EVA (typically 145-155°C). That’s why those makers need our flexible, resilient, and durable silicon sheets designed for use in the solar laminators to provide compression on the PV panes in repeated cycles.

Deer Hunter has worked in partnership with the foremost solar laminator manufacturers to develop silicon rubber membranes that meet the specific requirements of PV modules manufacturing. Here it is our great honor to introduce the top 3 silicon sheets to you.

The 5th Gen is a specially developed membrane consisting of a silicone backing material and a unique covering layer. This covering layer is extremely resistant to outgassing and related decomposing processes of EVA films. This makes our membrane particularly durable and increases your machine running times.

It has an EVA resistant fluorine laminated surface with additional fabric reinforcement.
