Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a radiation curable adhesive system for use in bonding a high thermal deformation temperature layer to a UV opaque, pigmented or non-pigmented fluoropolymer film The radiation curable adhesive system uses an adhesive composition optimized for cure using long wavelength UV energy. The adhesive system may also be optimized for curing by LED or e-beam radiation. The system is designed for curing through a UV opaque fluoropolymer film-and especially where titanium dioxide is used as the pigment. A preferred multilayer film structure is a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/curable adhesive/polyester terephthalate (PET) structure. This film structure is especially useful as a backsheet for a photovoltaic module.
