We specialize in the formulation of adhesives, potting and encapsulating products for optimal thermal management in solar applications. Our epoxy and polyurethane materials offer a low-cost alternative to replace expensive silicone.
When choosing a potting material for your battery or battery system, requirements vary depending on the technology. We have experience in a wide range of battery technologies, systems and battery configurations. Our technical sales team will work with you to determine the most cost-effective solution for your particular needs.
Solar battery systems require resins able to withstand the stresses of high operating temperatures. We offer an entire line of Underwriters Laboratory (UL) recognized compounds for use in these elevated temperature environments common in the solar energy industry. With adjustable properties like viscosity, weight loss and gel times, we have the temperature-resilient resin solution for your solar power components.
Thermally conductive polyurethane and epoxy potting products help dissipate the heat generated in today's smaller micro-inverters. We offer a full line of epoxy resins and polyurethanes to meet the demanding needs of balance of systems (BOS) component manufacturers, such as micro-inverter manufacturers and maximum power point tracker (MPPT) manufacturers.
When it comes to junction box (J-box) encapsulation materials, we understand the importance of providing a low cost, proven solution. The polyurethane and epoxy resins we formulate keep your products protected from moisture and demonstrate great hydrolytic stability in many different temperature environments. Our materials are dedicated to keeping the solder joints in the J-box protected and adhere to J-Box case materials better than traditional, expensive silicones.
Our technical sales team understands the importance of selecting the proper product to meet the demands of your solar application. With a large number of UL approved materials designed to withstand various harsh, outdoor environments, we can help you to meet your high temperature/high voltage requirements. Our line of potting compounds to perfectly fit the protective needs of electronics in the solar energy industry.
We manufacture resins designed specifically for superior adhesion to photovoltaic (PV) cells. We have a wide variety of solar panel materials, from quick-curing adhesives for attaching the junction box to the PV panel to two-component aliphatic polyurethane compounds with exceptional UV resistance. We also custom formulate adhesives for a wide range of applications.
Adhesives eliminate the need for mechanical fasteners, such as U-bolts and screws, and completely remove the stress points caused by these fasteners. By using our solar panel adhesives instead of mechanical fasteners, the need for constant maintenance and replacement inventory, along with the installation costs, is greatly reduced. Our adhesives can be used not only for assembly of photovoltaic panels but also for attaching the panel frames to the mounting racks.
We have decades of experience as a resin formulator and manufacturer. Our technicians dig deep into the requirements of your component, testing your resin formulation in environmental simulations to ensure the product will operate efficiently and safely. We consider the application method of your resin, as well as the end purpose to give you a potting compound or adhesive that is as simple to use as possible, all while maintaining the industry-leading quality we're known for.
