The lady said: “Sustainable development is the purpose of BASF, which not only requires innovative thinking and technology, but also requires the full cooperation of relevant companies in the industry chain. BASF hopes to further deepen cooperation with companies related to the industry chain, through alternative raw materials and innovative processes , providing the photovoltaic industry with more cost-effective and lower-carbon products, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry.”

Polyurethane composite frame

The frame material is also called GFRP (Glass fiber reinforced polyurethane),
It is a glass fiber reinforced polyurethane composite material that is widely used in the automotive industry, bridge construction, aerospace and other fields. In recent years, with the continued development of the photovoltaic industry, this material has become a leader in material cost, equipment investment, production efficiency, and product quality. With many advantages such as service life and carbon footprint, it gradually replaces traditional aluminum photovoltaic frames and is used in various applications in the photovoltaic industry.

As a global-scale photovoltaic composite frame manufacturer, Wolai New Materials has developed three core application scenarios for offshore photovoltaics, large-scale ground photovoltaics, industrial and commercial and household rooftop photovoltaics. These three scenarios include sea, desert and housing. A completely different climate, environment and even aesthetic needs also put forward more stringent requirements for the use of materials.

In response to such demand, BASF has proposed an industry-leading overall innovative solution of composite materials + water-based coatings. Through the material and molding process of polyurethane pultruded frames, it can provide stronger mechanical properties, lighter weight, better insulation, and stability. Composite material frame with multiple excellent properties such as higher durability. At the same time, in response to different climate and environmental challenges, BASF’s composite polyurethane materials also perform well in salt spray resistance, PID resistance, panel sealing, wind pressure/snow pressure resistance and other properties, protecting a variety of outdoor applications. It is particularly worth mentioning that compared with traditional aluminum alloy frame materials, polyurethane composite materials can significantly reduce the carbon emissions of the entire life cycle of photovoltaic frames.

BASF’s solution is also specially formulated with a water-based two-component polyurethane coating, which has excellent adhesion properties on polyurethane composites and also has good wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and UV resistance. Enhance the overall weather resistance of the photovoltaic frame and ensure the stable power generation of the composite frame outdoors for 25 years. It is worth mentioning that BASF’s coating solutions can adapt to different color needs, enhance design freedom, and meet the aesthetic needs of residential and other applications. At the same time, compared with traditional solvent-based coatings, the use of BASF coating solutions can reduce VOC by nearly 90%, supporting green and sustainable development.

As an important part of promoting green energy, the photovoltaic industry urgently needs the joint efforts of many parties to promote the application of the overall market. It is believed that BASF’s one-stop combination solution can meet the innovation of different application scenarios of WoLai new materials. Both parties will continue to support the demand iteration of the overall photovoltaic industry and contribute to the realization of China’s net-zero emission goal.
