201105499 VI. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to a right-handed (four)w and a unique seamless elastomeric enamel film having reinforced edges, 4 films suitable for use in laminating machines to provide a The sturdy shackles and the edges of the slabs are sturdy in the squad - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Or pressure can conform to the shape of an item, % photoelectric device.

[Prior Art] Vacuum lamination is a common method of forming and combining a plurality of layered structures. One specific use is to form an electronic or optoelectronic device, including a photovoltaic module 4-layer machine that applies pressure and heat while pumping from the stacked components to be dried up. A special sealing or encapsulating layer for ethylene photovoltaics is used for photovoltaic modules because they are generally not cured in the presence of oxygen. Vacuum lamination is also quite effective in applying stable, gentle pressure to precision components and connectors that may be present in photovoltaic modules. U.S. Patent 4,45,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In many vacuum laminators, an elastomeric diaphragm is used to transmit the force. In a common configuration towel, a diaphragm is clamped under an upper chamber and held in place by suction, the device is closed, the lower chamber is evacuated, and the upper chamber is allowed to be filled air. The net effect is to push the film against the stack to be laminated with a pressure of 201105499 and. The membrane used is a flexible elastomeric sheet which can be easily deformed and conforms to the shape of any irregularities across the module to impart pressure. More often, the sheets are cured rubber sheets that do not have reinforcement. However, the diaphragm must be held in the laminator for proper placement and to form a gas impermeable seal. This can be done by a variety of mechanical means such as slings, screws or bolts. All such mechanical means are necessary to tighten and/or puncture the sheet to provide a source of stress concentration or potential wear points. It is also possible to attach the diaphragm to the stacking machine by means of ablation. For both mechanical means and dead means, in addition to the stress in the actual attachment area, 'there may be stress at the edge of the chamber near the attachment means' where the film may be repeatedly flexed or bent, or in it Contact and rub the edge of the chamber each time the break is raised or lowered. Thus, the attachment area and the adjacent chamber edge can be a source of wear, (9) resulting in poor durability of the film and forcing replacement of the diaphragm more frequently. There is a need for a flexible elastomeric sheet that addresses one or more of the shortcomings of the A# and Ding brand. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a peripherally reinforced perforated film, for example, a molded enamel film' which includes a bendable thin (four) having a peripheral portion and an inner portion. The periphery of the flexible film is reinforced with a support substrate and the inner portion does not include the support substrate. On the one hand, the flexible film is seamless. Mainly based on the preparation process, 201105499 B-series seamless film can be prepared according to different sizes, including 3 meters by 5 meters. The use of an uncured sheet to prepare the flexible film provides an unexpected advantage in forming a sheet size that is not easily accessible. The core of the flexible film comprises an elastomer, and the elastomer may be an ethylene propylene diene M rubber, a siloxane elastomer, a fluorite, a FKM, an EPDM, an nR Or butyl rubber. The support substrate can be a fabric, staple fiber, or nonwoven. Suitable fabrics # or nonwoven materials may be glass fibers, nylons, polyesters, aromatic polyamides, wire mesh, polyimines, carbon fibers, or mixtures thereof. On the other hand, the flexible film does not include the reinforcing material (supporting substrate). The flexible film is unique in that it is achieved by a molding method for adhering the uncured sheets to each other. The present invention also provides a method of providing a perimeter strengthened flexible film. The steps include: • & processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a first mixture; b) contacting the first mixture with a fiber support substrate to form a supported sheet a material, wherein a portion of the mixture is integrally incorporated into or adjacent to the individual fibers of the support substrate to provide a reinforced material; the reinforced material has a size that is suitable for Covering an edge area of a laminating machine or other pressure thinning device; d) processing an elastic t1, optionally with an addition,! To form 5 201105499 a second mixture; e) processing the second mixture into a sheet; f) laminating the reinforced material around the periphery of the sheet to provide an uncured perimeter-enhanced bendable a film; and g) the uncured, perimeter-enhanced, fusible film is subjected to a mold process to form a peripherally reinforced flexible film. The present invention also provides a method of providing a seamlessly bendable film. The method comprises the steps of: a) energizing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a first mixture; b) treating the first mixture into an uncured sheet, C_) processing an elastic Optionally, an additive is added to form a second mixture; e) the second mixture is processed into a soil to form an uncured sheet; and:) the (four) one and the second uncured sheet are subjected to The molds are processed and cured to form a seamlessly bendable film. Although a number of actual implementations have been disclosed, other embodiments of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art, as will be apparent from the description of the Japanese.

All references cited in this specification should be considered as indicating the technical level of the art. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the invention is not limited by the prior invention. Vacuum lamination is a common method of forming photovoltaic modules. The laminator applies pressure and heat while extracting air from the stacked components to be bonded. Particularly effective for photovoltaic modules is the use of a sealing or encapsulating layer of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) because such formulations typically do not cure in the presence of oxygen. The vacuum lamination is also quite effective in applying a stable, gentle pressure to the precision elements and connectors that may be present in the photovoltaic module. U.S. Patent WO, which provides a description of one type of vacuum #layer machine, although a variety of configurations can be employed and this is not meant to be a limiting example. In a vacuum laminator for photovoltaic modules, an elastomeric diaphragm is used to transfer pressure. In a common configuration, the __ diaphragm is clamped to an upper 4 chambers below and held in place by suction 'the device is closed, the next finger is drawn to true g, and the upper part is allowed The room is full of air. The net effect is to push the film against the stack to be laminated with the pressure of S and . The diaphragm used is a flexible elastomeric sheet that can be easily deformed and conforms to any irregularities across the surface of the module to equalize the application of pressure. More often, the sheets are cured rubber sheets that do not have a reinforcement. The presence of the reinforcement, while improving strength and durability, makes the sheet harder and less deformable. ^ @, the diaphragm must be held in the laminator for proper placement and to form a gas-tight seal. Attack can be accomplished by a variety of mechanical means such as clamps, screws or bolts. All of these mechanical means must grasp and/or puncture the sheet to provide a source of stress concentration or potential wear points. It is also possible to attach the film to the laminator by means of bonding. For both mechanical means and bonding means, in addition to the stress in the actual attachment area, there may be stress at the edge of the chamber near the attachment means, where the film may be repeatedly flexed or bent, or in it Contact and rub the edge of the chamber each time it is raised or lowered. Thus, the attachment area and the adjacent chamber edge can be a source of wear, resulting in poor durability of the film of 201105499 and forcing replacement of the barrier more frequently. It is possible to improve the durability by including a reinforced film, for example, in the Japanese Patent Publication No. JP2004_2818, however, the published application discloses a reinforced sheet throughout the entire film area. Such a configuration provides durability in the attached and flexible regions, but does not conform to an unreinforced elastomeric film. By comparison, a fabric-reinforced film may have a tensile strength of from about 3,20 () to 4'500 psi, while a similar unreinforced film may have a tensile strength of about 900 to i,200 psi. There is a greater strength in the strengthened structure. Conversely 'a fabric-reinforced film may have an ultimate elongation of about 400% to 500%' and a similar unreinforced film may have an ultimate elongation of about 800%, indicating that there is more in the unreinforced structure. Large deformability. There is a flexible elastomer sheet in the central portion of the laminator diaphragm: to provide conformance, and there is a need for a reinforced sheet near the edge of the laminator diaphragm to provide a mechanical pair Long lasting and improved wear resistance. The present invention illustrates a single structure that provides these two features. In some diaphragm applications, it is possible to strengthen the edges by glue σ additional thickness of material or reinforced fabric at multiple edges. However, such a design is subject to potential failure of the glue sheet and provides less durability than an elastomeric sheet with a full reinforcement. In addition: the presence of a layer of glue provides a thickness discontinuity which can be a problem, such as uneven stress during the sealing process of the laminator 9 201105499. The straw of the present invention overcomes this drawback by providing a method of producing a molded diaphragm having a substantially uniform thickness and an integrally strengthened edge. With the development of photovoltaic module technology, modules with ever larger dimensions can be produced and the desired economy can be provided. This type of module requires a larger laminator and therefore a larger film, so there is also a need for a laminate film having a final size and a currently available mill. The dimensions produced by the extension technology are larger. The present invention also provides molded/seamless films which can be prepared in much larger sizes than typical sheets. Current calendering techniques limit the size of the sheet. Because the methods utilized herein provide "uncured" sheets that can be placed in contact with each other and then cured ' thus providing a seamless film or sheet (four) that is dimensionally affected A significant advantage of limited sheets. Currently & sheets together are accomplished by mechanical fasteners (e.g., stitching or with a dry agent). The present invention avoids the necessary mechanical methods of attaching two or more sheets (which may cause tearing, weakness between sheets, gaps, or use of standing agents (they may not be attached to them in such a manner) The term "elastic," and "elastomer" are used interchangeably to refer to a type of material that is generally "recovered after deformation" when the deformation force is removed. As used herein, elastic or elastomeric is the property of any material that allows the material to be stretched to a stretched offset length when applied-biased (unbiased than it is unbiased) The length is as large as 10 201105499

v about 50 / 〇), and the release of the tensile elongation force after the _th stretching cycle causes the material to return to its stretch ratio of up to 4%. A hypothetical (4) that satisfies this definition of an elastomeric material is a (5)-one (1) inch sample of a material that can be stretched to at least 15 inches and which, after being elongated to 15 inches and released, will be in the first Restore at least 丨3〇 inches after one stretching cycle. Many elastomeric materials can be stretched more than 50% of their relaxed length, and many will substantially return to their original relaxed length after releasing the stretch, elongation force. Adding a reinforcement to an elastomer will generally reduce the amount of stretching below the unreinforced elastomer. The term "recovery" refers to a contraction of a stretched material upon termination of the biasing force after stretching the material by applying a biasing force. The elastomer-like materials include thermoset elastomers which are long chain amorphous polymers which are crosslinked during the curing step. Another class of elastomeric materials include thermoplastic elastomers which are copolymers or physical mixtures of polymers that achieve their elastomeric properties by interaction among the phases of the polymer or mixture. Thermoplastic elastomers can be formed by heat and pressure, but generally do not require curing to achieve the properties of the elastomer. Among these useful elastomers are those having an elastomer of the structure Α_Β, B A, Α-(Β-Α)η-Β, or (Α_Β)η_γ. Examples of such block copolymers include styrene-butadiene (sb), styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS), styrene-isoamyl-benzene (SIS) 'benzene 6 Dilute-isopentane dilute ((1), styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS), styrene-ethylene-butene (SEB), stupid ethylene/ethylene_propylene (SEPS), Isoprene diisobutyl rubber (IIR) and 201105499 styrene·ethylene-propylene (SEP). Such block copolymers are from Kraton Polymei*s, Eniehem,

Atofina Elastomers and Dexco are available. Multi-block or tapered partial copolymers (A-(B-A)n-B type) are available from Firestone. The block copolymer is available from Kraton Polymers under the trade name Kraton G. Among these useful elastomers are EPR rubbers, EPDM rubbers and/or blends of EPR and EPDM. The term epr as used herein refers to a copolymer of an elastomer of ethylene and propylene, or a copolymer of this type modified with a functional monomer. The functional monomers include a class of unsaturated organic compounds containing one or more functional groups including a buffer acid group (--COOH) and an acid anhydride group (--C0--0--C0--). , via group (__〇h), shouting group (--OR, R is a hydrocarbon group), primary, secondary and tertiary neck groups and ester groups. The term EPDM is meant to include from 15% to 70% by weight (preferably between 20% and 45% by weight) of propylene, from 2% to 80% by weight of ethylene and from 2 by weight. From 1 to 15% of a terpolymer of a diuretic elastomer, such as 1,4-hexadiene, norbornadiene, ethylidene norbornene, dicyclopentadiene, dibutyl Alkene and isoprene. The EPDM used herein also includes a functionally modified form of a trimer containing a functional group mentioned hereinabove. EPR and EPDM rubbers are readily commercially available, for example, from ExxonMobil Chemical Company under the trade name "Vistalon" 'RexFlex from Huntsman Corporation, "AdFlex" from Basell Plastics, and from DSM Company, 12 201105499

Type 2 FKM consists of VDF, HFP·, and tetrafluoroethylene (TFe). The terpolymer has a higher fluorine content (typically between 68 and 69 weight percent fluorine) compared to the copolymer, which results in better chemical resistance and heat resistance. Type 3 FKM consists of VDF, HFP, TFE, and Dingda Gansu 1f | Vinyl Ether (PMVE). The addition of PMVE provides better low temperature flexibility compared to the copolymer spear polymer.

The thermoplastic elastomer can alternatively be processed without a catalyst. % General Description In a typical method, the elastomer and the curing agent and other additives (such as fillers, pigments and processing aids) can be placed in a piece, such as a rubber grinder, - Taiwanese mixer or - Taiwan high-strength tiger combined ^§) in the middle or Pan people especially _. 〆 ° up. Such a device comprises two or more rolls which are compressed and mixed at the point of splicing of the rubber mixture: after the composition has been mixed with the appropriate components, The use of a separate piece with multiple slave rollers (with a controlled gap spacing) is also used to create a party-controlled thickness. Such a device is called calendering 17 201105499. Calendering can be used to produce an unreinforced elastomeric film or, in some cases, can be fed, such as a fabric, while passing through a calender to form an elastomer having a reinforced fabric. The elastomer film can then be formed into a shape and cured by applying heat and pressure in a mold. In order to calender the elastomer to a uniform machine for precise control, controlled thickness, it is necessary to have calendering and resistance to deformation. As the calender becomes wider, engineering requirements necessitate a heavier, thicker, stiffer construction and correspondingly increased costs. Using the mold method disclosed herein

Strips (produced at a lower cost by a narrower calender) are formed into films of a wide width and their dimensions have hitherto not been achieved by current calendering techniques. In one aspect, the use of uncured materials in the process provides an advantage to form films having different sizes and no seam-related discontinuities. Although these are common steps that are common to the manufacture of elastomeric films, they are illustrative of the method steps, and variants of such steps (either individually or from the skilled person will be For example, if a thermoplastic elastomer is used in the present invention, the curing agent may be optional. ^ When the fabric is reinforced, such fabric reinforcement may include polyphthalide, fiberglass, and aromatics.纽 兵 醯 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 兵 兵 兵 兵 & & & & & & k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k The elastic fabric that has been ground in one embodiment on the side further comprises an attachment to the side body composition. This can be achieved by passing the 18 201105499 fabric and a quantity of ground, compounded elastomer through a calender. A controlled thickness is formed and attached to the reinforced fabric. A preferred method is to attach it to one side of the fabric while a small amount of elastomer penetrates to the opposite side. The over-reinforced calendered sheet is cut into narrow strips of appropriate size to cover the edge regions of the laminator to be supplied. This will extend through the grip and edge flexible regions and is typically for the production of pv The molding laminator will be about 12 inches, although the exact dimensions may vary, and may vary in size or design. The composition may still be uncured at this stage. The reinforced sheet may be Applied at the periphery of the film body. It can be applied by a variety of manual or automated methods and can include one or more sheets arranged adjacent the perimeter. In one embodiment, the reinforced sheet and the body The film elastomer is thinner than the film. Although not limited by theory, we use a thinner reinforcement strip under the edge of the thicker unreinforced sheet # or just at the edge to allow for a partial flow and homogenization. In the edge region, m is produced - the thickness of the entire film throughout the film. In the embodiment +, the thickness of the body is about 0.075 to 0.200 inches or about 125.125 to Q 15 () In an embodiment, the edge reinforced sheet has a thickness between about 5% and 50% of the thickness of the body film sheet or between about (10) and 鸠 of the thickness of the body film sheet. 1 provides an aspect of the invention. In Figure 1, the elastomer 2 is shown as a single film with respect to the overall structure. The reinforcement I i is located near the periphery of the 19 201105499 structure. On the one hand, a reinforcing material has been An elastomer composition is embedded to form a reinforcing layer i. The reinforcing layer i is then applied to the elastomer 2 of the monomer film. On the other hand, a reinforcing material (such as a nonwoven, a mesh fabric or fiber) It may be applied directly to the elastomer 2 for forming the strengthened structure. In an alternative embodiment t, the wide i may be located between the two layers of the elastomer 2 or embedded in a single layer of the elastomer 2. . Therefore, the drawing should not be construed as limiting and is merely an embodiment of the present invention. It should also be understood that the strengthening layer i may be located at the outermost edge of the structure or f is located near the edge such that the portion of the edge of the layer i is not strengthened. This can provide the ability to utilize this unreinforced edge layer for other purposes. In this aspect, the unreinforced edge layer can be "wound, (4) near the layer i such that the layer 1 is completely covered or partially covered by the excess portion of the edge layer. To form the article of the invention, the following method steps can be used: 1. Mix a high-consistency rubber with a curing agent using a two-roll mill. Typical rubber materials that can be used include a naphthenic elastomer, EPDM, fluorite, and its analogs such as d 〇wc〇r_ then 5〇, batch 70 or 0. Typical curing agents include, but are not limited to, organic peroxygen species: such as di- or tertiary butyl peroxide, tertiary butyl peroxy isopropyl, Over-emulsified dicumylbenzene, benzoic acid benzoic acid tertiary butyl vinegar, diphenyl hydrazine peroxide, dimethyl benzyl hydrazino) peroxide, di 2,4 2 dibenzophenone (tetra) peroxide. The grinder base machine should not cure the elastomer. The amount of ΊA of the compounded rubber from step 1 is formed by a calender to form a controlled thickness and adhered to the reinforced fabric. Above, at 20 201105499, an embodiment _, the method is to make the ground elasticity The body is attached to one side of the fabric' while a small amount of elastomer penetrates to the opposite side. The invention may also be practiced by calendering the rubber (elastomer) to both sides of a reinforced fabric. The fabric reinforcement may comprise Glass fiber, nylon, polyglycol, aromatic polyamide, wire mesh, polyaniline, carbon fiber, and other suitable woven or nonwoven fabric constructions. The reinforcement may also include staple fibers. The reinforced calendered sheet from step 2 is cut into narrow strips of appropriate size to cover an edge region of the laminator. This will extend through the grip and edge flexure regions, and typically for production The PV laminate laminator will be about 12 inches, although the exact dimensions may vary with the overall equipment size or design. The total thickness of this structure can be about 0.042 inches 'of about 0. (17 inches) The reinforced fabric is included. The composition is still not cured at this step. 4. The remaining compounded rubber batch from step 1 is calendered to a controlled thickness. In an embodiment, for the reinforced Band and the: the film body uses the same composition 'although the materials are not required to be the same: the composition, or even the same elastomer type, as long as the edge strip π and the composition of the central body can be collided The process of curing is combined with the laxative combination of the laxative. Again, the composition is solidified in this step. The thickness of the sheet should be about 0.075 to 〇〇.2 inches, + Soil β, or about 0.125 to 150 150 inches. 5. Preheat a mold. Make the mold sizing for the specific laminate film to be produced. 6 · On a workbench or its like Upper 掇 | The reinforced elastic 21 201105499 physical sheet is assembled with the unreinforced elastomer sheet outside the mold. Preferably, the thin strip of reinforced elastomer is cut to the appropriate length and placed along the edge of the unreinforced elastomeric sheet. Typically, the inherent tack of the uncured formulations will serve to keep them in contact during assembly. This component can then be transferred to a hot mold. Alternatively, it is possible to assemble the unreinforced and reinforced elastomer sheets directly in the mold. 7. Close the mold and cure the film with heat and pressure. Typical conditions range from about 260 to about 33 intimidation and from about 1 minute to about 4 minutes. The manufactured membrane is then removed from the mold. Depends on the formulation.
