Sealants in double glazing

Automotive applications. A very specific use is in the field of insulation (see Sealants in double glazing). [Pg.449]

The use of silicone sealant for insulating glass (double glazing) gives excellent adhesion to glass which is unaffected by UV radiation but which must be used with a waterproof sealant such as polyisobutylene to reduce moisture vapour transmission (MVT). The use of silicone sealant alone will result in water condensation inside the unit in a relatively short period of time and would permit water vapour to be absorbed into the unit and eventually exhaust the desiccant used in the space. The use of small beads of polyisobutylene as a primary seal (Figure 6.3) reduces the MVT to a very low number, thus correcting the one deficiency of silicone (Panek and Cook, 1984). Sealants for SSG systems may be applied on... [Pg.136]
