Adhesives for solar cells

Maximize the performance of your thin-film solar cells with DELO adhesives

The significance of solar cells has increased in recent years, thanks to their ability to address critical energy challenges by generating clean and renewable energy. As technological advancements make solar cells more accessible to a diverse range of consumers and industries, the market continues to expand. A particularly exciting development in this field is the emergence of flexible thin-film solar cells, including perovskite and organic solar cells. These innovative solutions open up new application possibilities, such as installation on curved vehicle surfaces, and more. 

To maintain their performance, however, these solar cells need special materials for reliable protection from environmental factors like moisture ingress, UV light, and mechanical stress. 

Ensuring this protection is key to unlocking their full potential in diverse applications. DELO developed suitable solutions and offers advanced low-permeation adhesives designed to improve performance and durability.

Wind Power

Hightech materials for the bonding of windmills

DELO solutions meet the demands of windmill applications

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally, fueling the expanding market for windmills and driving innovations like longer blades for more efficiency. However, manufacturing windmills comes with its own set of challenges, as they must withstand a variety of environmental conditions, including moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV radiation. This requires advanced materials that ensure durability and maintain structural integrity, even with an increase in blade dimensions.

Our specialized DELO adhesives are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of windmill applications. Choose our adhesives to ensure your windmills not only perform optimally but remain reliable throughout their lifecycle.

Hydrogen Power

Adhesive solutions for hydrogen production technologies

Reliable sealing of electrolyzers for sustainable hydrogen production

Hydrogen is a cornerstone of sustainable, decarbonized energy production. It is generated by using renewable energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen within an electrolyzer. As hydrogen production continues to rise, the automated manufacturing of electrolyzers becomes increasingly important, alongside ensuring operational safety and long-lasting performance.

Our adhesive and sealing solutions provide reliable sealing for electrolyzers, ensuring not only a secure operation but also facilitating rapid further processing during stack assembly.
