<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 />
