Dow Chemical Company, one of the world's largest chemical raw materials companies, is committed to becoming a raw material supplier for the encapsulation and protection of photovoltaic cells in modules, especially targeting the expanding Chinese photovoltaic power generation market
.
At a press conference held during SNEC 2016 in Shanghai, Michael Shoemaker, Global Strategic Marketing Manager for Dow's Elastomers Division, said the company is advancing its elastomer business, focusing on PV module sealant film raw materials for the Chinese market, in line
with the rapid development of China's PV industry.
Unlike EVA thin film materials currently commonly used by PV module manufacturers, Dow wants to encourage Chinese encapsulation film companies to use its ENGAGE POE materials
.
The company's research found that compared to EVA films, POE films, such as those made of ENGAGE, have better electrical performance, lower water vapor transfer speed, and better
weather resistance.
POEs also significantly reduce the potential-induced attenuation effect (PID) and are becoming increasingly popular
for N-type cell modules and double-glazed modules.
Regarding the additional cost of replacing EVA with film made of POE, Mr.
Shoemaker did not mention it during the meeting, but according to relevant industry insiders, the additional cost is 3-5%
of the price of photovoltaic modules.
This is relatively cheap
compared to the advantages and added value that POE brings to users.
The film made of POE is not as highly used as EVA and is still in the initial stage
of the market.
There are not many raw material suppliers that can supply this chemical sealant film, but Dow is one of them
.
Dow has strong confidence in the Chinese market, and in preparation for the potential growth of the Asia-Pacific region, Dow has established two manufacturing centers in Saudi Arabia and Thailand, and a research and development center in Shanghai to respond quickly to the market
.
The Dow Chemical Company is one of the world's largest chemical manufacturing companies, with total revenues of $48.
8 billion in 2015.
Adhesive film raw materials ENGAGE POE belongs to the Elastomers business unit, Dow's largest business unit, contributing approximately 37.
6%
of the company's total sales in 2015.
