INSULATING GLASS<br />
<strong>PRODUCT</strong> OVERVIEW<br />
Insulating glass is two or more plies of glass enclosing a hermetically sealed air space. Inherently, insulating glass increases a<br />
window’s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss.<br />
At Viracon, insulating glass units are double sealed with a primary seal of polyisobutylene and a secondary seal of silicone. To<br />
provide a hermetically sealed and dehydrated space, the glass plies are separated by a desiccant-filled spacer with three bent<br />
corners and one keyed-soldered corner or four bent corners and one straight butyl injected zinc plated steel straight key joint.<br />
The desiccant absorbs the insulating glass unit’s internal moisture.<br />
