Abstract

Disclosed is a fluorine-containing resin film which is formed from a fluorine-containing resin composition and has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm, wherein the fluorine-containing resin composition is prepared by adding 10 to 30 parts by mass of titanium oxide or a composite-oxide-type inorganic pigment to 100 parts by mass of a resin component comprising 60 to 95 parts by mass of a vinylidene fluoride resin and 5 to 40 parts by mass of a methacrylic acid ester resin, and wherein the peak intensity ratio of a II-type crystal, which is expressed by (A)/((A)+(B))×100 wherein A represents the peak height at 840 cm −1 and B represents the peak height at 765 cm −1 in a measurement chart produced by an infrared absorption spectrum, is 60% or more and the total crystallinity is 30% or more as calculated from an X-ray diffraction profile.

Claims (11)

1. A fluorine-containing resin film of thickness 10 to 50 μm, formed from a fluorine-containing resin composition obtained by adding 10 to 30 parts by mass of a titanium oxide or composite oxide-containing inorganic pigment with respect to 100 parts by mass in total of resin components consisting of 60 to 95 parts by mass of a vinylidene fluoride-based resin and 5 to 40 parts by mass of a methacrylic acid ester-based resin, the fluorine-containing resin film having a II-type crystal peak intensity ratio, represented by (A)/((A)+(B))×100 where (A) is the peak height at 840 cm −1 and (B) is the peak height at 765 cm −1 in a measuring chart using an infrared absorption spectrum, of at least 60%; and an overall degree of crystallinity of at least 30% as calculated from an X-ray diffraction profile, wherein a melted resin consisting of the fluorine-containing resin composition is melt extrusion formed using a T-die process, thereby forming the fluorine-containing resin film and a converted heat quantity per unit time when cooling the melted resin is 70 to 180 kW per kg of melted resin according to the equation represented by Formula 1:

converted heat quantity=specific heat of resin composition (J/kg−C)× AT /cooling time (sec)  Formula 1

wherein ΔT=melted resin temperature−temperature after cooling.

2. A backing sheet adapted for a solar cell module and comprising the fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 .

3. A solar cell module comprising the backing sheet for the solar cell module according to claim 2 .

4. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the vinylidene fluoride-based resin is a vinylidene fluoride homopolymer.

5. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the methacrylic acid ester-based resin is a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and an acrylic acid ester having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

6. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 5 , wherein the acrylic acid ester is butyl acrylate or methyl acrylate.

7. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the II-type crystal peak intensity ratio is at least 80%.

8. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-containing resin film has a degree of yellowing after heat/humidity testing (AYI) according to JIS K7105 Standard of 5 or less.

9. The fluorine-containing resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-containing resin film has a hue change (AE) after UV irradiation testing according to JIS K7105 Standard of 2 or less.
