Quanex - Super Spacer® T-Spacer™
Quanex - Super Spacer® T-Spacer™
The triple seal Super Spacer® T-Spacer™ Premium Meets the most stringent commercial requirements including Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG).
T-shaped silicone foam
Two-sided acrylic adhesive allows immediate handling of the units
Polyisobutylene seal provides improved gas and water vapour tightness
Multilayer vapour barrier
Outer silicone seal for proven structural glazing application, polyurethane or polysulfide sealants for all other applications
Height 6.3 mm
These flexible T-shaped spacers made of silicone foam are provided with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on the side, which enables highly efficient automated processing and application of the sealants (polyisobutylene and edge sealant). Available in 7.3 mm height as Super Spacer® T-SpacerTM Premium Plus Structural Sealant Glazing requires UV-stable silicone sealing. For all technical data, please refer to the Super Spacer® T-SpacerTM Premium datasheet.
Information on Super Spacer® spacers for manual processing can be found under Super Spacer® TriSealTM Premium Plus.
