Warm Edge system for long-lasting energy efficiency

From 5th to 8th September 2023 , the leading adhesive and sealant manufacturer H . B . Fuller | Kömmerling will present its highly functional , thermoplastic Warm Edge solution Ködispace 4SG at Vitrum in Milan . The high-performance system combines highest energy efficiency with outstanding durability . The precise robotic production of the insulating glass ensures a unique aesthetic that is internationally appreciated in modern glass architecture - from façades to skyscrapers to organically shaped roofs . With Ködispace 4SG , H . B . Fuller | Kömmerling offers the Italian market an innovative and globally recognised system for windows and facades , which minimises heat loss along the edge of the glass - sustainably , even under the harshest climatic conditions .
Flexible edge sealing with thermoplastic spacer
Ködispace 4SG replaces the conventional edge system made of spacer bar , desiccant and primary seal . Its special formulation creates a chemical bond with glass and silicone and creates a tight and at the same time elastic unit , which retains the gas in the space between the panes and thus guarantees constant high energy efficiency for many years . This also applies in the case of large temperature changes : if there is permanent deformation of the panes caused by heat or cold , the flexible Warm
Edge , unlike rigid systems , absorbs the movements and this prevents gas leakage .
Long-lasting energy efficiency and unique aesthetics
The system ’ s outstanding thermal insulation properties contributes to higher living comfort , savings in heating and air conditioning costs and a consequent reduction in CO 2 emissions . Also , Ködispace 4SG is very interesting from an aesthetic point of view : as the black sealant is applied fully automatically and with the utmost precision by a robot , the insulating glass is aesthetically perfect and can be produced in almost unlimited variety . For the production of insulating glass , Ködispace 4SG from H . B . Fuller | Kömmerling offers further advantages : the fully automated lines contribute to highly efficient production , which reduces inventory and waste .
