Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
Activity Description
The production process of co-extruded photovoltaic backsheets includes the plastic pelletizing process (mixing, extrusion pelletizing, cooling, and blow-drying cutting) and the photovoltaic backsheet production process (blending, extrusion, wiping, cutting, rewinding, and inspection).
Process Description
Photovoltaic (PV) backsheet is the encapsulation material on the rear side of a PV module and is located on the outermost layer of the module, typically used in single-glass encapsulated PV modules. The co-extrusion method for PV backsheets is a composite technology that involves extruding multi-layer polymer films. Fluorine-free backsheets are generally produced via co-extrusion, using polyethylene (PE) and polyolefin in the inner layer, and polyamide and polyolefin in the outer layer.
