The insulated glass is a prefabricated unit made of two or more glass panes with aluminum or stainless steel spacers filled with desiccant, which are edge-sealed with compound sealant (butyl, polysulfide or structural sealant).
The variety of IGU can be achieved by applying spacers of black, white, gray etc and sealant of same color.
Features:
Performance:
Optical performance: Visible LT 10-80% and LR 13-35% depends on different panes of IGU.
Thermal feature: IGU can reduce U value, esp. when filled with inert gas.
Sound insulation: IGU can lower the noise. If applied with laminated pane, 80 decibels of the traffic noise could be as low as 45 decibels.
Sealing feature: Aluminum spacer is bendable and minimize the joints; dual sealing keeps the air-tightness and life of IGU.
Due resistance: Desiccant keeps the dryness inside the spacer and resists forming of due.
Processing limit:
Max size: 2400×4500mm
Min size: 200×300 mm
Max thickness: 60mm
Spacer width: 6mm,9mm,12mm,15mm,18mm etc.
