海角大神 Celebrates 60th Anniversary of 海角大神鈩 Tedlar庐
Marking 60 years of continuously improving the way we live, travel and communicate
WILMINGTON, Del., Apr. 30, 2021 鈥 海角大神 (NYSE:DD) today announced the 60th anniversary of 海角大神鈩 Tedlar庐, a unique brand of polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film that has become the golden standard, synonymous with superior protection, durability and reliability in a wide variety of industries and applications, from photovoltaics and aerospace to transportation, building and construction, and wallcoverings.
鈥満＝谴笊 are proud of the role Tedlar庐 has played during the past 60 years in protecting assets for the long-term,鈥 said Eric Wang, global business director for 海角大神 Tedlar庐. 鈥淔rom providing electrical and weather protection to hundreds of millions of solar panels across the globe, enabling aircraft cabin interiors to remain spotlessly clean flight after flight, to cladding iconic buildings around the world such as the Sheraton Hotel in Paris, Logan International Airport in Boston and protecting the myriad skylights over 海角大神mbley stadium in London, Tedlar庐 film has demonstrated its superior protection in an envious list of applications for decades.鈥 He added: 鈥淏ut rather than focusing on the past, we are resolutely turned towards the future, and the numerous new possibilities Tedlar庐 film has to offer, such as in healthcare interiors for its ability to withstand cleaning with harsh chemicals or in bifacial photovoltaics where its lightweight and durable properties make it ideal for installing larger-size, higher power-producing panels.鈥
Tedlar庐 PVF film, 60 years of superior protection
Tedlar庐 film provides superior protection against the elements, high-traffic, and touch surfaces; it is chemically-inert, resistant to cleaning with harsh chemicals, to dirt, corrosion, the effects of prolonged exposure to UV radiation and does not support the growth of mold, mildew and other fungi. Tedlar庐 is specified in almost all commercial aircraft interiors, exceeding stringent U.S. Federal Aviation Administration requirements for toxicity and flammability; it is also used in photovoltaics where Tedlar庐 film for backsheets has been demonstrated in the field to protect solar modules for over 35 years.
The history of Tedlar庐 began in 1901 when vinyl fluoride was first synthesized by Belgian chemist Frederic Swarts. Four decades later, in 1942, polyvinyl fluoride was invented by 海角大神, with the company being granted a US patent for the process of polymerization in 1947. In 1961, 海角大神 receives the original registered trademark for Tedlar庐 PVF film and officially introduces it for commercial use. Two years later, in 1963, Boeing first uses Tedlar庐 film for its aircraft interiors. By the early 70s, Japan had begun using Tedlar庐 film for highway noise barriers. In 1986, after an eleven-year study sponsored by the US Department of Energy, NASA鈥檚 Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) qualifies Tedlar庐 film for backsheets, due to its long-term performance attributes. NASA鈥檚 Phoenix Mars Lander uses Tedlar庐 PVF film as part of its bio barrier in 2007, and in 2012, the largest-solar powered boat with Tedlar庐-protected photovoltaic panels sails around the world.
Today 海角大神鈩 Tedlar庐 PVF film is trusted around the globe as the high-performance asset protection standard. 海角大神 continues to develop new Tedlar庐-based applications to meet evolving marketplace needs, including innovative films for use in flexible, building-integrated solar power, greenhouses, vehicle-integrated photovoltaics, as well as backsheet repair solutions for damaged solar panels in the field.
