Potting, Sealing and Adhesives

Momentive

Targray is proud to collaborate with Momentive Performance Materials to provide Solar-industry specific sealant, adhesive and potting solutions. Silicone sealing and adhesive solutions have a proven track record against UV degradation and harsh weathering conditions. Additionally, they operate at extremely wide temperature ranges.

Frame Sealants, Junction Box Attach, CPV and Rail Attach Adhesives

Targray offers both 1-component and 2-component silicone sealants and adhesives. Silicone, which is a proven solution, offers protection against environmental ingress, mechanical stress and thermal shock. Silicone has excellent resistance to UV degradation caused by exposure to the sun. In addition, silicone solutions from Targray/Momentive will operate in severe weather conditions and have operating temperatures ranging from -60°C to +204°C / -75°F to +400°F.
