Ködispace 4SG Thermoplastic Spacer by H.B. Fuller

 

Details: Ködispace 4SG is a reactive thermoplastic warm-edge system with built-in desiccant that replaces the traditional edge system made of spacer, desiccant and primary seal. The automated application reportedly results in reduced manufacturing complexity and more design freedom for large or complex units. Its ability to form a chemical bond with glass and silicone makes this system particularly suitable for structural glazing, according to H.B. Fuller.

Best-selling Features: The company says the unlimited insulating glass unit shapes and design, thermal performance, maximum gas tightness and low moisture vapor transmission rate contribute to its popularity. As a permanently flexible spacer, its high elasticity and chemical bonding reportedly result in better mechanical performance during environmental changes. In addition, the 4SG stays gas-tight during expansion and compression cycling of the unit; stress is extended over the full spacer width and not concentrated only on the edges, which helps retain gas tightness and energy efficiency, according to the company.

Technoform: TGI-Spacer M

TGI-Spacer M is a hybrid warm-edge insulating glass spacer consisting of stainless steel and a low-conductivity thermoplastic. It can be used in commercial, residential and architectural glazing systems. TGI-Spacer M measures 6.85 millimeters tall, with width sizes ranging from ¼ inch to 1 inch. It has a no-glare, matte finish, and is available in white, black, light gray, dark gray, champagne and bronze, with custom colors available. TGI-Spacer M has been successfully tested in accordance with industry standards including: ASTM 2188, ASTM 2189, ASTM 2190, ASTM C794, ASTM E773, ASTM E774, DIN 1279, CBA and IGCC. TGI-Spacer M can be used in all glazing applications where a warm-edge product is required, with conventional aluminum, or where another spacer type is being used. 2018 WinDoor Booth #703
