Product Applications
Frame Sealing Applications
Our silicone sealants are specifically formulated for the critical interface between aluminum frames and glass laminates. This application prevents moisture ingress at the module perimeter, which is the primary failure point in field installations. The sealant creates a permanent, flexible bond that accommodates thermal movement while maintaining complete environmental isolation.
Junction Box Mounting
The junction box-to-backsheet interface requires exceptional adhesion and sealing properties. Our sealants ensure IP67/IP68 rated protection, preventing water infiltration that could cause electrical failures. The material's dielectric properties provide additional insulation safety, critical for high-voltage module designs including 1500V systems.
Cross-connect Insulation
PET-based insulation tapes prevent electrical shorts at cell string crossover points. Essential for half-cell and shingled cell designs, these tapes maintain their dielectric strength even under lamination temperatures and pressures. Compatible with all cell technologies including PERC, TOPCon, IBC, and HJT configurations.
Edge Sealing Systems
Butyl rubber edge tapes provide primary moisture barrier protection, particularly critical for frameless and dual-glass modules. These tapes offer immediate sealing upon application, creating a vapor-tight barrier that complements the frame sealant system. Extensively tested for compatibility with all major backsheet and glass types.
Production Line Integration
All products are optimized for integration with Ooitech's complete solar panel production lines, including automated dispensing systems on framing machines and tape application stations. Compatible with M6, M10, M12 cell formats and MBB interconnection technologies.
