Aug 10, 2012 Engineered Conductive Materials, a leading global supplier of conductive interconnect materials for photovoltaic applications, introduces its new fast curing Conductive Adhesive CA-100 for stringing and bussing next-generation CIGS solar modules. This material formulation is optimized for excellent conductivity and stability on molybdenum and other substrates used in thin-film manufacturing.
CA-100 is designed for thermal cycling and damp heat stability on molybdenum and other substrates used in the CIGS manufacturing process. The high Tg of CA-100 is suitable for manufacturing semi-rigid glass backed modules and is not designed for flexible modules utilizing reel-to-reel manufacturing. The material can be partially cured for 60 to 90 seconds, providing enough “green strength” to withstand induced stresses from the manufacturing process until the adhesive cure is completed during the encapsulant lamination process. CA-100 has optimized rheology for dispensing, excellent damp heat resistance and conductivity stability on molybdenum, tin, tin-silver and silver-plated ribbons.
CA-100 is the latest addition to Engineered Conductive Material’s full line of conductive stringer attach adhesives, conductive adhesives for back contact crystalline silicon, thin-film and via fill applications, as well as conductive grid inks for photovoltaic applications.
