Abstract

The invention relates to a binding agent comprising a mixture of a carboxylic acid vinyl ethylene ester copolymer (A) and a polyolefin (B) containing a functional monomer (X), the mass ratio B/(A+B) being between 0.05 and 1. Said binder has very good adhesion properties for adhering to a number of supports in photovoltaic modules, in addition to satisfactory transparency and electrical resistivity properties for the advantageous use of the binder in said module.

Claims (10)

1. Multilayer structure comprising a layer formed from a tie and at least a support made of PMMA, said tie being in direct contact with the support and comprising a blend of an ethylene/carboxylic acid vinyl ester copolymer (A) and a polyolefin (B) which contains a functional monomer (X) which is maleic anhydride copolymerized in the chain of the polyolefin (B) and/or grafted to the polyolefin (B), the B/(A+B) weight ratio being within the range of 0.05 to 1.

2. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the B/(A+B) weight ratio is between 0.05 and 0.5.

3. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the polyolefin (B) comprises ethylene.

4. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the functional monomer (X) contained in the chain of the polyolefin (B) is copolymerized.

5. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the amount of the functional monomer (X) in the polyolefin (B) is between 0.05 and 10 wt %.

6. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the polyolefin (B) containing a functional monomer (X) is an ethylene/alkyl (meth)acrylate/maleic anhydride copolymer.

7. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the polyolefin (B) containing a functional monomer (X) is an ethylene/vinyl acetate/maleic anhydride copolymer.

8. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the copolymer (A) is an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer.

9. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the carboxylic acid vinyl ester content of the copolymer (A) is between 25 and 45 wt %.

10. The multilayer structure according to claim 1 , in which the tie has an MFI between 1 and 400 g/10 min (190° C., 2.16 kg).
