-PeroXeal™ packaging system for pharmaceutical PVP sets new standards
-Gradual transition of the Kollidon® product line to the new system
-PVP successful in the market for over 70 years
BASF has developed a packaging system which sets new quality standards: In the future PeroXeal™ will protect the pharmaceutical excipient Kollidon ® , based on PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), even better against contact with oxygen and subsequent o xidation. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the peroxide level of Kollidon ® , making the excipient suitable for use in oxygen-sensitive formulations as well. Under the trade name Kollidon®, PVP is used in tablets as a binder and as disintegrant. » Read More

Commercialization and the Start of Mass Production of the SP100 Series, Solar Cell Conductive Film Capable of Making Strings at Low Temperature for Photovoltaic Modules
Sony Chemical & Information Device Corporation commercialized and commenced full-scale mass production of the SP100 Series, Solar Cell Conductive Film for photovoltaic modules in April 2010. The SP100 Series is a film-type conductive bonding material that bonds the solar cell with the metal ribbon that acts as a transmission line for electricity generated by the cell and, compared with conventional soldering (200°C or more), is capable of low-temperature bonding at 180°C, enabling significant reductions in residual stress after bonding on cells, thereby contributing to improved yield during module production. In addition, the SP100 Series is also capable of bonding thin cells (approximately 150 μm) that are weaker against thermal stress during soldering than standard thick cells. Free of materials that may impact on the environment such as flux and lead, the SP100 Series has been designed with the aim of alleviating the environmental impact after disposal. » Read More
