Abstract

To provide a laminate excellent in weather resistance, moisture-proof property, adhesion between layers and its long-term stability, and a process for its production. A laminate comprising a substrate sheet containing a fluororesin, an adhesive layer, and a moisture-proof layer containing, as the main component, at least one inorganic compound selected from the group consisting of an inorganic oxide, an inorganic nitride and an inorganic oxynitride, laminated in this order, wherein the adhesive layer contains, as the main component, at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide, tantalum oxide and hafnium oxide.

Claims (8)

1. A laminate comprising a substrate sheet containing an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, an adhesive layer, and a moisture-proof layer containing at least 95 mol % of at least one inorganic compound selected from the group consisting of an inorganic oxide, an inorganic nitride and an inorganic oxynitride, laminated in this order, wherein the adhesive layer contains at least 95 mol % of at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide, tantalum oxide and hafnium oxide, and wherein the thickness of the moisture-proof layer is at most 50 nm.

2. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture-proof layer contains a Si compound or an Al compound as the inorganic compound.

3. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture-proof layer contains aluminum oxide.

4. The laminate according to claim 1 , which has a visible light transmittance of at least 80%.

5. A protective sheet for a solar cell module, comprising the laminate of claim 1 .

6. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the moisture-proof layer is at most 30 nm.

7. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the adhesive layer is 0.5 to 20 nm.

8. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the substrate sheet is 10 to 200 μm.
