photovoltaic TPA
Efficient moisture prevention for sensitive thin-film substrates
Looking to protect substrate glasses against moisture?
Here are three reasons why photovoltaic TPA is your best choice
1.
High-precision butyl application on the edge of substrate glasses
2.
Active moisture barrier prior to the laminating process
3.
Possibility to integrate 24/7 operation in existing units
Encapsulate and actively protect against moisture
The photovoltaic TPA applies high-viscous butyl onto semiconductor thin-film substrates, effectively protecting the semiconductor against moisture. Prior to the laminating process, the machine accurately applies the material within a tenth of a millimeter from the edge of substrate glasses. Two high-performance pumps ensure that the viscous sealing material is always available – for real 24-hour operation.
The technology is based on decade-long experience in the construction of machines to produce insulating glass in which thermoplastic material is applied as a spacer between the glass plates. In the solar power industry, horizontal machines as well as vertical designs are used for sealing all types of semiconductors.
Option: Butyl sealing for junction boxes

Different application processes

- Interruption-free application in the corners
- Completely tight application

- Interruption between the application in the corners
- Corners are closed during the lamination process

“The idea of a special U-shaped design to fit our confined space was created over lunch by my son Maximillian Dreisbusch and two Glaston service engineers. I think this says everything about our close and collaborative partnership with Glaston,” says Thomas Dreisbusch, Managing Director of Glas Dreisbusch.
