Other Notices
Do not contact module with rubber sheet that contains ester plasticizer or with soft PVC hose.
Trace plasticizer or solvent may cause crack on module housing
Do not wipe off module with solvent wet cloth, or paste PVC tape or gum tape. Do not mark on
the module housing with a felt pen.
Wash module with water and wipe it with dry cloth to remove dust/stain on the module.
Examples of Past Accidents
Paint stuck to a module and the section with the paint cracked.
An adhesive used to fix a heat insulator to a module caused module cracks.
In a case where hot water is fed to modules, soft PVC sheets used as a cushion when
modules are fixed with U-bolts caused module cracks (migration of plasticizer).
Organic solvents may be used depending on their types and concentrations. Consult Asahi Kasei
about solvents or chemical agents other than, or the details of, the above chemicals.
Warning
Do not allow the module to come in contact with organic solvents or solvent vapors,
including chemicals that contain an organic solvent, or with rubber sheets, soft PVC
hoses, PVC tapes, gum tapes with adhesive backings, or with felt pen ink, paints,
adhesives, or cushioning materials. Otherwise, housing cracks may occur and liquid
may spout from such cracks.
