Insulation glass

Another nonregenerative drying appHcation for molecular sieves is their use as an adsorbent for water and solvent in dual-pane insulated glass windows. The molecular sieve is loaded into the spacer frame used to separate the panes. Once the window has been sealed, low hydrocarbon and water dew points are maintained within the enclosed space for the lifetime of the unit. Consequently, no condensation or fogging occurs within this space to cloud the window. 

Worldwide production capacity of Hquid polysulfides is about 33,000 t with manufacturing sites in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Total consumption is about 28,600 t. Approximately 50% is for insulating glass sealants, 30% for constmction appHcations, and - 10% for aircraft sealants. In addition, - 909 t of the soHd polysulfide mbbers are sold each year. 

Two of the more recendy developed polysulftde polymers are the mercaptan-terminated polyoxypropylene urethane polymer and the polythioether polymer. The urethane-backbone-based polymer is used in many sealant formulations for insulating glass appHcations. The thioether backbone contains sulfur, but no S—S bonds, which are the weakest part of the conventional polysulftde polymer. This polymer improves the thermal stabiHty and reduces the gas—Hquid permeabiHty.

The avadabihty of PMDI also led to the development of polyurethane-modified isocyanurate (PUIR) foams by 1967. The PUIR foams have superior thermal stabiUty and combustibiUty characteristics, which extend the use temperature of insulation foams well above 150°C. The PUIR foams are used in pipe, vessel, and solar panel insulation glass-fiber-reinforced PUIR roofing panels having superior dimensional stabiUty have also been developed. More recently, inexpensive polyester polyols based on residues obtained in the production of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) have been used in the formulation of rigid polyurethane and PUIR foams. 

Sealants for insulated glass windows are based on butyl polymers. These sealants have excellent weathering and ageing, low-moisture vapour transmission and are non-fogging [66]. 

Transparent or translucent insulating materials (TIMs) can provide light or solar gains without view. TIMs typically have thermal properties similar to conventional opaque insulation and are thicker than conventional insulating glass units, providing significant resistance to heat transfer. 

At time t > 0, the potential of the UME tip is stepped from a value where no electrode reaction occurs, to one sufficient to drive the oxidation of Red] at a diffusion-controlled rate. Species Red] is assumed to be inert with respect to the insulating glass sheath surrounding the electrode and to remain at bulk concentration values beyond the radial edge of the tip (throughout phase 1). In phase 2, species Red2 attains its bulk...

Since then, uses have shifted more toward civilian applications. Polysulfides have unusually good resistance to solvents and to the environment and good low temperature properties. This makes them particularly useful in a variety of sealant applications. For example, the outstanding resistance of polysulfides to petroleum (qv) products has made them the standard sealant for virtually all aircraft integral fuel tanks and bodies. Another important application is in insulating glass window sealants (qv). Sealants based on liquid polysulfides have had an excellent record since the 1950s and are the worldwide market leader in this application.

All samples were analyzed with a Physical Electronics Industries SIMS-3500 spectrometer using a 5 KeV Ar+ primary ion beam and a 5 KeV rastered electron beam to reduce charging of the insulating glass surface. 

Unlike STM and AFM tips, which are sharp cones, a typical SECM tip is a conductive disk surrounded by the flat ring of insulating glass whose thickness is equivalent to several disk radii. Thus, a proper alignment of the tip with respect to the substrate surface is crucial (see also Section IV.B.2). Unless the tip surface is flat and strictly parallel to the substrate plane, the insulator touches the substrate first and prevents the conductive disk from coming close to its...
