The present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module. In an embodiment, the photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic cell, and a layer composed of a film. The film includes a silane-grafted polyolefin (Si-g-PO) resin composition comprising (i) one or more silane grafted polyolefins and (ii) from greater than 0 wt % to less than 5.0 wt % of a micronized silica gel, based on the total weight of the Si-g-PO resin composition. The film has a glass adhesion greater than or equal to 15 N/mm after aging the film at 40° C. and 0% relative humidity for 60 days as measured in accordance with ASTM F88/88M-09.

The present disclosure relates to coating compositions. A fire resistant, corrosion protective, water proofing, energy saving, water based heat insulating coating composition and a process for its preparation is provided. The coating composition comprises a graft copolymer emulsion, a colorant, and one or more reinforcing additives. The graft copolymer is crafted to synergize the properties shown by the polymers of four different specialty monomers which results in a coating that exhibits excellent heat insulation and other mechanical properties. The coating is useful as a heat insulating coating.

A functionalized ethylene-based polymer dissolved in an appropriate solvent and applied to a nonpolar surface can change the surface polarity/characteristics of the nonpolar surface. This change to the surface polarity/characteristics of the nonpolar surface allows adhesion of materials, such as paint, to surfaces such as polypropylene, polyethylene and polyolefin elastomers.
