Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of lightweight components, and particularly relates to a coating for a modified acrylic ester backboard, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight components are widely used in the field of BIPV construction because of their low requirements for installation structure and light weight. In order to improve the rigidity of lightweight components, PP reinforced composite materials are usually used as the backplane material in the components with composite front films. Because PP materials have poor UV resistance and low surface dyne value, they are not easy to bond with adhesive films. Usually, a weather-resistant coating is screen-printed or roller-coated on the surface of the PP composite backplane. In photovoltaic components, based on battery efficiency and other reasons, the battery cells are changed from PERC to Topcon, which puts higher requirements on the barrier properties of the backplane.

[0003] In patent CN116535965B, polyurethane acrylate oligomers and silicone-modified acrylate oligomers are used as barrier layers to prepare low water permeability barrier layers, which are cured by UV light and used for component backplanes. The silicone-modified acrylate has a single function and other weather-resistant layers and film bonding layers are required. For composite materials with a thickness of more than 0.6 mm, the cost of compounding the three layers together is relatively high.

[0004] In the patent CN116333576B, 40% to 60% fluorocarbon resin is used as a weathering additive, and a rare earth doped down-conversion material modified by a fluorosilane polymer is added to replace the traditional UV absorber to convert UV into visible light and increase the power generation efficiency of the module. However, for flexible modules, the front film has blocked more than 90% of UV, the efficiency of the light conversion agent is low, and the transition metal is not conducive to the long-term outdoor weathering performance of the material. It is also easy to be enriched during production, resulting in reduced production efficiency.

[0005] In patent CN118198163A, the water-blocking performance of the backplane is improved by adding aluminum foil. However, the insulation thickness and PID performance of the material after adding aluminum require glue packaging and isolation. Its reliability is difficult to guarantee, and it is difficult to achieve fully automated production at the component packaging end. Therefore, it is less used. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a modified acrylate backplane coating, a preparation method and application thereof. By introducing special fluorosilicone acrylate, a modified acrylate backplane coating is prepared. The coating can be used for silk screen printing of lightweight flexible photovoltaic module backplanes, thereby improving the weather resistance and water barrier properties of the backplane material, and solving the problem of poor weather resistance and water barrier properties of the coating due to low silk screen thickness.

[0044] (2) Compared with conventional hydroxy acrylate, the fluorosilicone acrylate added in the present invention increases the cohesive energy of the coating, thereby increasing the weather resistance of the coating, and significantly improving the adhesion and water barrier properties.

[0045] (3) The polyurethane modified acrylate in the fluorosilicone acrylate added in the present invention toughens the resin, and reduces the problem of reduced coating adhesion due to the addition of reflective agents without increasing the free volume. The addition of reflective agents makes the reflectivity of 550nm light greater than 85% at a coating thickness of 5-20μm, thereby improving the efficiency of photovoltaic modules.

[0046] (4) The curing agent A and curing agent B added in the present invention avoid the problems of low curing degree, uneven molecular weight distribution, monomer residue and the like caused by a single curing agent. The dual curing agents increase the crosslinking degree of fluorosilicone acrylate, thereby improving the water barrier properties of the material. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
