01-22-2010: DuPont is investing $175 million at the Circleville, Ohio, site to complete a multi-phase expansion of high-performance DuPont™ Tedlar® PV2001 series oriented film production line. This investment adds to the $120 million in capacity expansions, announced last August, for raw materials used to make the film, bringing the total commitment of these two phases to $295 million.
Tedlar® films serve as the critical component of photovoltaic (PV) backsheets, providing long-term durability and performance for PV modules in all-weather conditions. DuPont expects the PV market to grow rapidly over the next several years, driving the demand for Tedlar® and other new materials that increase the lifetime and efficiency of solar cells and modules. Overall sales of company products into the PV industry are anticipated to exceed $1 billion by 2012.
“The photovoltaic market increasingly demands materials that enable modules to reliably deliver power for decades,” said Dave Miller, president – DuPont Electronics & Communications. “This major expansion underscores our commitment to maintaining DuPont leadership in the PV industry and specifically in the backsheet materials market for solar panels.”
