Abstract
The ability of glass/glass and glass/breathable backsheet constructions
laminated with various encapsulant and/or edge seal materials to
protect thin-film aluminum coatings deposited onto glass substrates
was assessed. Although they provide the best moisture barrier available,
glass/glass laminate constructions can trap harmful compounds that
catalyze moisture-driven corrosion of the aluminum. Constructions
with breathable backsheets allow higher rates of moisture ingress,
but also allow egress of deleterious substances that can result in
decreased corrosion.
