<strong>PRODUCT</strong> COMPONENTS<br />
SILICONE<br />
Viracon’s insulating glass units are constructed with a dual seal configuration where polyisobutylene (PIB) is the primary seal and<br />
structural silicone is the secondary seal.<br />
The PIB is the moisture barrier seal of the insulating glass unit preventing moisture vapor transmission into the units air space. It<br />
must also adhere well to the glass and spacer during the life of the insulating glass unit.<br />
The secondary seal of silicone acts as the adhesive that holds the unit together in both conventional and structurally glazed<br />
systems. It must maintain its adhesion to the glass and air spacer throughout the life of the unit.<br />
Silicone is uniquely resistant to ultraviolet light and is the only sealant capable of being exposed long term to UV, temperature<br />
extremes and harsh atmospheric conditions. The high strength of silicone makes it ideal for structurally glazed applications.<br />
Silicone Sealant: Black or Gray<br />
