Solaronix has assembled a selection of polymers films that are very well adapted to sealing electrodes. These materials demonstrate excellent chemical compatibility with the other components of Hybrid and Dye Solar Cells. The sealing gaskets easily cut from these films will ensure a perfect confinement of the electrolyte in the solar cells after hot press lamination. We have been using Meltonix for over 10 years, proving its stability and durability.
Thicknesses of 25, 60 and 100 microns are available in order to tune the distance between electrodes. The sealing process typically consists of partially melting the gasket onto the electrodes with a hot press. The adhesion of Meltonix on glass substrates is excellent, leading to a fully transparent sealing.
