    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a seal material in manufacturing a vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) unit, wherein the VIG unit comprises a first glass sheet, having a first interior major surface and a first exterior major surface, a second glass sheet having a second interior major surface and second exterior major surface, the glass sheets are placed in parallel with said interior major surfaces facing each other and providing a gap therein between, and a seal material for providing a seal of said gap, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a glass sheet, and arranging said seal material on a major surface of at least one of said glass sheets by means of a nozzle having a nozzle opening of elongated shape, such as a rectangular or oval shape, providing a plurality of support structures on the major surface of at least one of the glass sheets, pairing said first glass sheet and said second glass sheet so that the surface of the at least one of said glass sheets comprising the seal material is the interior surface, and evacuating said gap so as to provide said VIG unit. The present disclosure further relates to a method of manufacturing a VIG unit, an application system and a VIG unit.

    Abstract: A compressible pillar for the preparation of a vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) unit, having a longitudinal extent in the pre-compressed state and including a deformable part having an open structure, which open structure will at least partially collapse when the pillar is subject to a compression force acting in the longitudinal direction of the pillar, the compression force being of at least one value selected within the range of 60 N to 320 N, the pillar will exhibit a partly irreversible deformation causing a reduction in the longitudinal extent of the pillar when the pillar is subjected to the compression force, so that when the compression force is fully released the pillar will exhibit an expansion in the longitudinal direction of the pillar which is less that the reduction in the longitudinal extent of the pillar. Further is shown a process for manufacturing of a compressible pillar, a method of producing a VIG unit as well as a VIG unit.

    Abstract: A compressible pillar is disclosed for the preparation of a vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) unit, having a longitudinal extent in a longitudinal direction when in an uncompressed state, and comprising: a deformable part comprising an open structure, wherein the open structure at least partially collapses under a compression force acting in the longitudinal direction of the compressible pillar, the compression force being of at least one value selected within the range of 60 N to 320 N such as a value of the compression force being selected from the range of 60 N to 140 N, from the range of 140 N to 230 N, or from the range of 230 N to 320 N, wherein the longitudinal extent of the compressible pillar decreases to a compressed longitudinal extent when the compressible pillar is subjected to the compression force, and wherein the compressed longitudinal extent of the compressible pillar increases to an expanded longitudinal extent when the compression force is released, wherein the increase in the longitudinal extent is less than the decrease in the longitudinal extent. Furthermore is disclosed a process of manufacturing a compressible pillar, a method of producing a vacuum insulated glazing unit by the use of such pillars and a vacuum insulated glazing unit comprising such pillars.
