THE FUTURE OF HIGH
PERFORMANCE, DUAL SEALED INSULATING GLASS UNITS IS ......... NOW!
Delchem Is Introducing
D180 STRUCTURAL PIB (polyisobutylene)
In keeping within its long-standing strategy and commitment of developing IG sealants that create newer and higher standards of performance, Delchem has developed and is now producing,
the IG industry's one and only PIB that provides significant structural strengths!
PIB is widely used as the primary seal in dual sealed IGU. The excellent moisture and gas barrier properties and capabilities it provides are well known and scientifically documented.
It is also well documented that PIB is the "weak link" in a dual sealed IGU system. PIB provides no structural properties or strengths (adhesion, cohesion, shear) whatsoever. No chemical cure takes place during the setting of the applied PIB, it remains thermoplastic. The adhesion of PIB sealant to glass and spacer is purely physical in nature and is therefore not resistant to the long-term effect of various and numerous stress forces (i.e., handling the IGU, water, temperature extremes, UV radiation, etc.)
Utilizing similar proprietary technologies, chemistries and production techniques that have made Delchem's D-2000 REACTIVE Hot Melt Butyl IG Sealant the BAT (Best Available Technology) vis-à-vis IGU performance, Delchem is now producing D180 STRUCTURAL PIB.
1. D180, like D-2000, reacts with atmospheric moisture, crosslinking and forming very substantial and strong covalent chemical bonds with the glass and spacer, unlike "regular" or non-structural PIB, for which no cure takes place.
2. The resulting crosslinking and chemical bonds provide for outstanding adhesive, cohesive and shear strengths not found with "regular" PIB.
3. The MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) and GPRa (Gas Permeance Rate, argon), are actually lower than those for "regular" PIB.
4. D180 is available in two colors; black or gray.
5. D180 is fully compatible with all known secondary sealants (i.e., polysulfide, polyurethane, hot melt butyl, silicone), spacer materials, corner keys, etc.
6. D180 is a 100% solids sealant, and contains no hazardous ingredients.
7. On a cost per gallon basis, D180 is more cost-efficient than "regular" or non-structural PIB.
D180 was developed and is designed for use on automated and semi-automated IGU production lines. It is applied via a 55-gallon hot melt pump and linear extruder, followed by the IGU passing through an oven-press or heated roller press.
D180 allows you to replace the "weak link" of a dual sealed IGU. In essence, when utilizing D180 STRUCTURAL PIB, you have a dual sealed IGU fabricated with two structural sealants, the primary and secondary sealants, not just the secondary sealant alone.
The advent of D180 demonstrates how Delchem continues to set newer and higher standards for IGU performance, meeting and exceeding your requirements.
