Multilayer transparent polyester film, method for manufacturing said film and use of said film in particular in the backsheets of photovoltaic panels
First Claim
1. Transparent multilayered film, biaxially stretched, comprising at least 2 layers of polyester including a core layer and at least one outer layer, wherein:
- i) at least the core layer contains at least a transparent biaxially oriented polyester PE1 that is a polyester PEα
;
comprising an alkali metal phosphate in a concentration of 1.3 mole/ton to 3.0 mole/ton, and phosphoric acid in a concentration of 0.4 to 1.5 times (per mole) the concentration of the alkali metal phosphate, andin which an increase of COOH in PE1 between before and after a wet-heating treatment performed at 155°
C. for 4 hours under saturated steam is 90 eq./ton or less,ii) the at least one outer layer comprises at least a biaxially oriented polyester PE2, and particles formed during formation of PE2 by reaction between at least one metallic compound and at least a monomer or oligomer unit of a precursor PE2″
of PE2, wherein the metallic compound that is able to react with the at least one monomer or oligomer unit of the precursor PE2″
, in order to form the particles, is selected from a group consisting of metallic salts of carboxylic acids, organophosphates derived from phosphoric acid, and blends thereof,the particles have a d50 in μ
m of from 1.5 to 3, andthe PE2 is obtained by solid state post-condensation from the precursor PET′
;
iii) at least one of the at least one outer layers comprises at least the PE2 and at least the PE1; and
iv) at least one of the core layer and the at least one outer layer(s) includes a photo stabilizer.

Abstract
A biaxially oriented multilayer transparent film including at least two layers of polyester, respectively a core layer and at least one outer layer, which can be identical or different, wherein: i) at least the core layer includes at least one biaxially oriented transparent polyester PE1, ii) at least one of the outer layers includes, on the one hand, at least one biaxially oriented polyester PE2, and, on the other hand, particles coming from the reaction between at least one metal compound and at least one monomeric or oligomeric unit of PE2, the particles having more preferably a d50—as μm and following an order of preference—between 0.5 and 5; between 1.0 and 4, and between 1.5 and 3.0. Also relates to the manufacture of this film and its applications as a laminate in particular in the backsheets of photovoltaic cells.
