Definitions
- the invention relates to a spacer for insulating glass units, an insulating glass unit and its use.
- Insulating glazing usually contains at least two panes made of glass or polymeric materials. The panes are separated from one another by a gas or vacuum space defined by the spacer.
- the thermal insulation capacity of insulating glass is significantly higher than that of single glass and can be further increased and improved in triple glazing or with special coatings. For example, coatings containing silver enable reduced transmission of infrared radiation and thus reduce the cooling of a building in winter.
- insulating glazing In addition to the nature and structure of the glass, the other components of insulating glazing are also of great importance. The seal and above all the spacer have a major impact on the quality of the insulating glazing.
- a circumferential spacer is attached between two panes of glass, creating a gas-filled or air-filled inner pane cavity that seals against moisture penetration and provides the thermal insulating properties.
- the thermal insulation properties of insulating glazing are significantly influenced by the thermal conductivity in the area of the edge seal, in particular the spacer.
- the high thermal conductivity of the metal causes a thermal bridge to form at the edge of the glass.
- this thermal bridge leads to heat loss in the edge area of the insulating glazing and, on the other hand, to the formation of condensate on the inner pane in the area of the spacer in the event of high humidity and low outside temperatures.
- thermally optimized, so-called "warm edge” systems are increasingly being used, in which the spacers are made of materials with lower thermal conductivity, in particular plastics.
- a disadvantage of plastic spacers is the poor impermeability to gases and moisture.
- plastic spacers are usually provided with a barrier film made of a dense material, at least on their outside.
- Thin metal foils or multi-layer foils are particularly suitable as barrier foils metallic and polymeric layers, as disclosed, for example, in WO 2013/104507 A1.
- pane and spacer The connection between pane and spacer is created by an adhesive bond made of a so-called primary sealant, such as polyisobutylene. If this adhesive bond fails, this is a point of entry for moisture. The amount of primary sealant must be accurately dosed to prevent primary sealant from penetrating the interior space between the panes. There are spacers that have indentations in the area of the side walls, in which primary sealant can be applied, as disclosed in US 2012 0308746 A1, for example.
- a secondary sealant is usually applied as an edge seal, which absorbs mechanical stress from climatic loads and thus ensures the stability of the insulating glazing.
- the outside of the spacer must be designed to ensure good adhesion to the secondary sealant. Due to temperature changes over time, for example due to solar radiation, the individual components of the insulating glazing expand and contract again when they cool down. The glass expands more than the spacer made of a polymer material. This mechanical movement therefore stretches or compresses the adhesive bond and the edge seal, which can only compensate for these movements to a limited extent through their own elasticity.
- the mechanical stress described can mean that an adhesive bond comes loose over part or all of the surface.
- This detachment of the connection between the sealant and spacer can allow air moisture to penetrate into the insulating glazing, which results in condensation in the area of the panes and a reduction in the insulating effect.
- the sides of the spacer that are in contact with a sealant should therefore have the best possible adhesion to the sealant.
- the document EP2719533 A1 discloses a spacer with a film which has a thin film on the side facing the secondary sealant Adhesion layer made of SiOx or AlOy. Oriented EVOH layers, among others, serve as a barrier layer against moisture.
- a disadvantage of the concept of spacers with barrier films is that the adhesion of the barrier films to the spacer itself and to the secondary sealant must be very good over a long period of time. Otherwise, the barrier films can detach, which in turn means a loss of tightness.
- the production of these spacers with barrier films in several stages is comparatively complex. Typically, the film and body are made by different producers and may then need to be glued together by a third party.
- WO 2012100961 A1 describes a spacer without a separate barrier film. This uses two metallic strips that are applied to the side walls and parts of the outer wall. In the outer wall there is a gap between the two metal strips to prevent there being a thermal bridge from one pane to the other pane via a continuous metal strip. In this area, phyllosilicates are incorporated into the polymeric material of the outer wall, which ensure the diffusion tightness. However, the metallic strips degrade the heat insulating properties of the spacer.
- a spacer is desirable that can be produced in as few individual steps as possible and at the same time meets the requirements of a spacer for insulating glass units in terms of tightness and adhesion over the service life of the insulating glass unit.
- the object of the present invention is achieved according to the invention by a spacer for insulating glass units according to independent claim 1.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims.
- An insulating glass unit according to the invention and its use according to the invention emerge from further independent claims.
- the spacer for insulating glass units comprises at least one longitudinally extending polymeric hollow profile having a first side wall, a second side wall, an interior glazing cavity wall, an exterior wall and a cavity.
- the cavity of the spacer leads to a reduction in weight compared to a solidly formed spacer and is available for accommodating other components, such as a desiccant.
- the cavity is enclosed by the side walls, the glazing cavity wall and the outer wall.
- the glazing cavity wall connects the first side wall to the second side wall.
- the sidewalls are the walls of the hollow section to which the outer panes of the insulating glass unit are attached using a primary sealant.
- the interior glazing wall is the wall of the hollow profile that faces the interior cavity after installation in the finished insulating glass unit.
- the outer wall is arranged substantially parallel to the glazing cavity wall and connects the first side wall to the second side wall. After installation in the finished insulating glass unit, the outer wall points to the outer space between the panes.
- the hollow profile is co-extruded from a polymer base material and a diffusion barrier material.
- the diffusion barrier material has a higher diffusion resistance to gases and moisture than the polymer base material. Since the two materials are co-extruded, they are particularly firmly connected and form a hollow profile that is stable over the long term.
- the polymer base material and the diffusion barrier material are arranged in layers, ie a wall is composed of individual layers of the materials which extend continuously, ie without interruption, in the longitudinal direction X and run parallel to the respective wall.
- the outer wall contains at least two layers of base material and at least two layers of diffusion barrier material arranged in an alternating manner. This means that there is always a layer of base material between two layers of diffusion barrier material. By using multiple layers, diffusion barrier materials can be used that would not be possible as a single layer achieve a sufficient barrier effect. In addition, the barrier effect is significantly improved if several individual layers are used instead of one thick layer, because a leak at a specific point in one layer can be compensated for by a second layer. In the outer wall, at least one layer of diffusion barrier material extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall.
