摘要:
This invention relates generally to sealants for insulating glass units. More specifically, this invention is a one-component, hot applied, chemically curing sealant for edge sealing insulating glass units. The sealant contains a thermoplastic hot melt resin blended with an atmospheric curing resin. The hot melt resin functions as the meltable component during the initial application, and supplies strength immediately upon cooling. The polymer phase then begins to cure by reaction with atmospheric oxygen and/or moisture to form a cross-linked thermoset elastomer which is temperature resistant. At this point, the hot melt resin functions as an inert plasticizer within the cured polymer phase. The sealant of the present invention may additionally include plasticizers, fillers, pigments, catalysts and the like.
摘要:
An insulating glass unit including a first pane of glass, a second pane of glass, and a spacer system. The spacer system includes (i) a spacer positioned between an inner surface of the first pane of glass and an inner surface of the second pane of glass and (ii) a sealant system for adhering the inner surfaces of the glass panes to the spacer. The sealant system includes at least one sealant having (a) at least one thermoplastic hot-melt material having a melt temperature ranging from about 125° F. (51° C.) to about 250° F. (121° C.), and (b) at least one curable material. The sealant, when cured, forms a covalent bond between the spacer and the panes. The sealant has an initial hardness ranging from about 25 Shore A to about 450 Shore A and a post-cure hardness measured about 48 hours thereafter ranging from about 30 Shore A to about 50 Shore A.

Disclosed are compositions that include: a) a thiol-terminated polymer; and b) a sulfur-containing ethylenically unsaturated silane. Related products, such as sealants, that include polymers derived from such compositions, are also disclosed.

Disclosed are methods for making a cured sealant. The methods include depositing an uncured sealant composition on a substrate and exposing the uncured sealant composition to actinic radiation to provide a cured sealant. The uncured sealant composition includes a thiol-terminated polythioether and a polyene comprising a polyvinyl ether and/or a polyallyl compound. Related sealant compositions are also disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed are polyfunctional sulfur-containing epoxies and compositions containing polyfunctional sulfur-containing epoxies. The polyfunctional sulfur-containing epoxies may be used as a curing agent and combined with polythioethers and/or polysulfides used to provide high elongation sealants useful in aerospace applications.

This invention relates generally to spacer assemblies for insulating glass units. More specifically, this invention relates to a single component desiccant matrix which can be applied to the interior of a spacer assembly at room temperature. Upon exposure to the ambient atmosphere, the desiccant matrix irreversibly cures.
