With the sealant Ködispace 4SG, the company offers a warm edge solution that meets the requirements of silicone-sealed glazing in a special way. In contrast to conventional thermoplastic spacers, the reactive polyisobutylene used forms a chemical bond with both a silicone edge seal and the glass surface. This creates a strong and at the same time elastic bond with the façade pane.
The insulating glass remains permanently gas-tight even under the greatest stress and is therefore extremely robust, resilient and durable. However, Ködispace 4SG technology is not only suitable for facades, but also for windows in residential and commercial buildings and offers the ultimate solution for sophisticated aesthetics, extreme durability and maximum energy efficiency.
Direct Glazing as a further focus
In addition to structural glazing, H.B. Fuller | Kömmerling also provided information on direct glazing. "Both processes convince with better insulation and - especially in combination with Ködispace 4SG - allow the construction of energy-saving and sustainable facades and windows, which of course makes them valuable in terms of Green Architecture," said Dr. Christian Scherer, Head of Business Development Glass.
Indispensable for the durability of windows and glass facades is their compatibility with all contact materials, i.e. frames, glass, sealants, lacquers, glazes, primers and blocks. This is why H.B. Fuller I Kömmerling not only offers complete packages of adhesives and sealants with guaranteed compatibility, but also provides step-by-step assistance with advice, design and implementation.
LEDs and displays on glass
The adhesives and sealants manufacturer also showed its solutions for the Smart Glass trend at its stand. LOCA (Liquid Optical Clear Adhesives) are highly transparent liquid resin systems developed by adhesives and sealants manufacturer H.B. Fuller I Kömmerling for the production of a wide variety of laminated glass types. Together with its partner TTEC, H.B. Fuller I Kömmerling has developed the Clear Edge technology, an edge-to-edge laminating process.
This enables completely new solutions for sophisticated architecture such as glass bridges, glass staircases or glass balustrades. The Clear-Edge technology achieves a unique look that no longer has a disturbing edge seal.
Another advantage of liquid lamination technology is that it also allows the construction of bullet-proof hybrid laminates and glasses with polycarbonate, for example. Compared to pure glass structures, these are significantly lighter and slimmer with the same bulletproof class. In addition, the "gentle and safe" embedding of sensitive "smart" components in the polymer interlayer, such as LEDs, displays and functional films, is no problem.
Complete product range for the glass industry
"H.B. Fuller I Kömmerling offers the most complete product range for the glass industry - whether for individual windows or entire facades - and thus solutions for almost every application from a single source," said Scherer.
At the trade fair stand, visitors were able to get to know the diverse applications at various stations.
