Targray Technology International and The Dow Chemical Company announced the renewal of their Master Distribution Agreement that allows Targray to be the exclusive distributor of Dow“s ENLIGHT Polyolefin Encapsulant Films. This innovative, high performance film can enhance efficiencies in photovoltaic (PV) module production and lead to lower conversion costs with potentially shorter lamination cycle times – without sacrificing adhesion performance or material stability during lamination. Targray is a leading supplier of materials to the growing photovoltaic industry,” says Neil Carr, Group vice president and business director, Dow Packaging and Converting. The combination of our technology and their market knowledge should lead to profitable growth for both firms. We are quite pleased with this relationship. Targray has been the exclusive distributor for a number of Dow products since 1997. Dow is dedicated to finding technologies that convert solar energy into useful electricity, said Dan Murray, Vice-President at Targray Technology. Their leading-edge products, coupled with this focus on delivering sustainable solutions to address some of the world“s most critical challenges – including the need for clean energy – make them a valued partner. We“re very pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with the addition of the ENLIGHT Polyolefin Encapsulant Films to our commercial product portfolio. Suited for encapsulation of c-Si and thin film photovoltaic modules, ENLIGHT Polyolefin Encapsulant films from Dow claim greater module stability and improved electrical performance versus traditional encapsulants – such as EVA-based products – which can improve the reliability and extend the service life of PV modules. A low Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) combined with High Resistivity, excellent UV stability and no acetic acid generation allows modules to experience minimum output efficiency loss as a result of long term exposure to heat, moisture and UV light.
