Abstract

The invention concerns a method and a profiled sealing section for glazing panes of insulating glass (8) in multiple glazing in profile systems (frame constructions) in window and facade construction. According to the invention, in order to improve the heat-insulation of the glazing, the spacer (1) keeping the insulating glass panes (8) of a multiple glazing system at a spacing is extruded from a polymer material and the panes (8) are fitted in a gastight manner in the peripheral spacer (1), thereby improving the K-value of the glazing.

Description

APR-22-99 THU 11:15 AM J C WRAP 703 448 7397 P.03 heat-I~aulating Spacer for Insuinting Glazing The invention concerns a procedure and a profiled sealing section for glazing panes of insulating glass in multiple glazing in profile systems (frame constructions) for window and facade construction.
Progressively increasing demands placed on thermal insulation in the window and fapade construction sector over the past years have created a variety of design and material-related measures that jointly were aimed at falling below the required k-values.
For example, aluminum's advantages in window and facade applications are evaluated very differently since its thermal conductivity of approx. 200 W/(m * K) is quite remarkable compared to wood and plastic (smaller than 1 W/(m * K) e.g. (EDPM
0.4 W/m * K) .
For aluminum windows this means that the flow of warm or cold air can be transported via rails and walls from the inside out or vice versa. The profiled section practically forms a thermal bridge via which a constant outflow of warm air can occur if the temperature difference between the ends is sufficiently high. Depending on the difference in temperature, material and diameter, such thermal losses can be considerable and expensive.
A11 design efforts were therefore focused on developing ways to reduce or eliminate these undesirable thenaal bridges Which are generated by the profiled section. This led to highly developed profiled section designs, such as the insulating rail design, as are known from applications in air-conditioned buildings.

APR-22-99 THU 11:15 AM J C WRAP 703 448 7397 P.04 requirements placed on thermal insulation are precisely formulated and defined for the individual components. "Frame Material Groups for Windows' arose for window frames, evaluating materials and design set-ups of the frames.
In almost all designs, the principle of thermal separation is of great importance. In the case of metal profiled sections it is a logical and indispensable feature.
Profiled sections that have a continuous design from the inside out are separated into two partial profiled sections, which then are reconnected with each other via a material of very poor thermal conductivity. The development phase, however, is far from complete because the mechanical and thermal behavior of thermally separated profile systems towards each other is constantly adjusted with new inventions and innovations.
Materials used primarily for thermal separation are: glass fiber reinforced polyamides (GFR-PA), polypropylenes (PP), hardening polyurethane foam (PUR rigid foam), and rigid chloroprenes. This applies both to spacers and to insulating materials.
In the case of thermal insulation that is achieved through insulating panes in multiple glazing via the glass component due to non-circulating air or gas cushions, the individual panes are generally also fastened with metallic spacers, which reduce the thermal insulating effect of the gla2lng.

APR-22-99 THU 11:16 faM J C WRfaY 703 44S 7397 P.05 It is the particular object of the invention to increase the thermal insulating effects of the glazing system, i.e.
specifically to improve the k-value of the glazing (1cY).
According to the invention, the object is realized by creating a design in which the spacers 1, which keep the insulating panes 8 of the multiple glazing design at a distance, start as vne piece from a rail or profiled section's back 7, reach around the mounting rims of the insulating panes, reach into the hollow space 9 limited by the insulating panes, are fastened towards the outer panes and have an undercut in the transition area rail/spacer and that the hollow spaces 2 between an insulating pane 8, the spacer 1 and rail 7 formed by the undercuts are filled with a rubber-like or elastomeric material in an elastic manner and that according to the invented procedure the spacers inserted for distancing the insulating panes in multiple glazing designs used in window and fagade construction consist of extrudable polymer material that can be cross-linked during the extrusion process into an elastomer, a TPE
(thermoplastically processable elastomer), or a thermoplastic polymer material.
This eliminates the metallic cold air bridge between the panes.
In accordance with a particularly advantageous procedure of the invention, the filling process of the spaces on the pane rims that are formed by the undercut involves a gas-tight backing out of IIR rubber - or butyl rubber - which does not cross-link, if RECEI'~IED TIME APR.22. 11~13AM PRINT TIME APR.22. 11~21RM

This creates efficient gas-tight sealing surfaces between the outer panes and the spacers, which is very advantageous for the space between the panes.
By utilizing double-sided adhesive tape in order to fasten the outer panes and the spacer with acrylic rubber, safe processing handling of the glazing system is achieved. By applying a gas--tight sealing foil onto the surfaces of the interior front of the spacer, the gaseous space can be equipped with a drying agent, which can be applied on top of the sealing foil a11 the Way around at a layer thickness of up to 20 mm, preferably up to 10 mm.
The procedure becomes particularly economical when the spacers can be produced together with the rail or the profiled section's back that hold them together, and possible even with the wing seals on the side, a11 in one piece. This is possible with an extrusion process and co-extrusion with extrudable polymer materials such as:
- Thermoplastics (polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PEj, SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer, etc) , and - thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), i.e. thermoplastically processable elastomers that are partially cross-linked or have cross--linked sections, also called polymer alloy, which have elastic properties at room temperature due to their special molecular structure, but which are still weldable RECEI'~.IED TIME APR.22. 11:13RM PRINT TIME APR.22. 11:21AM

APR-22-99 THU 11:17 AM J C WRAY 703 448 7397 P.07 and thermoplastic, and of course - natural or synthetic rubber (rubber materials) that are cross-linked chemically to elastome s by a vulcanizing process.
A decisive factor is the restoration behavior of such rubber materials, which is maintained at a very good level especially at higher temperatures and in the aging behavior compared to thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers.
This can be attributed to a lack of any viscous deformation portions when exposed to tensile force, pressure or shearing stress. A favorable restoration behavior guarantees a long-term high sealing effect.
Thus the invented version of the spacer combines good thermal insulation of the polymer materials with favorable mechanical properties (high restoration ability for years to come ) .
Additionally it is possible to manufacture the profiled section in an economical single-piece design through an extrusion process, as well as to equip the section with wing seals through a co-extrusion process.
Cross-linked ubber would then be on the same level as the following rubber materials:-- ethylene-propylene-copolymer (EPM) - ethylene--propylene-diene-terpolymer (EDPM) - ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) - epichlorhydrine rubber (CO) RECEIVED TIME RPR.22. 11~13RM PRINT TIME RPR.22. 11~21RM

With co-extrusion different material ranges and thus material hardnesses can be realized, which make it possible to adjust the rail area or the spacer as well as the wing seal to the respective requirements with regard to their hardness.
Figure 1 shows the glazing mechanism of the invented procedure in the case of insulating glazing with two or three insulating panes 8. The cross-sectional drawing indicates the position of a11 glazing components (see reference list) that are involved in the glazing process in the assembled state.
In the case of two or more insulating panes it is important to know that only the outer panes with the filled-in undercut safeguard the gas-tight border towards the environment.
Panes that are placed inside only have the effect that gas circulation and thus thermal transport due to convection are largely prevented.
