3. Product Advantages

• Butyl Rubber Coating Advantages:
  The application of butyl rubber significantly enhances the sealing performance of the spacer bar, ensuring airtight and watertight integrity in the insulated glass structure. This prevents fogging, bubbles, or condensation caused by air or moisture intrusion.
  Butyl rubber remains stable under high and low temperatures and UV exposure, extending the overall service life of the spacer bar.

• Energy Efficiency:
  The butyl-coated aluminum spacer bar not only improves sealing performance but also enhances the thermal insulation of insulated glass, reducing heat transfer and promoting energy conservation. This product is especially suitable for energy-efficient buildings and green building projects like passive houses.

• Moisture and Water Resistance:
  Butyl rubber offers excellent moisture resistance, preventing the negative effects of humid environments on the sealing performance of the insulated glass. It helps avoid corrosion or deterioration caused by moisture infiltration, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.

• Environmental Friendliness:
  Both the aluminum spacer bar and the butyl rubber are eco-friendly, with the aluminum being 100% recyclable, making it a sustainable choice. The butyl rubber contains no harmful substances, ensuring the product meets environmental building standards.

4. Manufacturing Process

Butyl Rubber Coating Process:
The butyl rubber coating is applied using advanced automated technology, precisely controlling the coating volume and uniformity. This ensures a consistent coating layer on the surface of each aluminum spacer bar, preventing defects like uneven or missed application.

Quality Control:
We strictly follow ISO quality management standards from material procurement to production and final inspection. Each batch of butyl-coated aluminum spacer bars undergoes rigorous testing to ensure their adhesion strength, weather resistance, and sealing effectiveness meet the highest standards.

Testing Standards:
All aluminum spacer bars undergo tensile testing, weather resistance testing, and adhesion strength testing, ensuring the products are stable and reliable under various environmental conditions.

5. Installation and Usage Guidelines

Installation Steps:

1. Cut the aluminum spacer bar to the appropriate length based on the dimensions of the insulated glass.

2. Gently press the butyl-coated aluminum spacer bar onto the glass frame, ensuring good contact between the spacer bar and the glass.

3. Inspect the connection between the spacer bar and glass to ensure there are no leaks.

Precautions:

• Avoid scratching the surface of the spacer bar during installation to preserve the butyl rubber adhesion.

• Ensure the installation environment is dry to avoid moisture affecting the performance of the butyl rubber.

• Control the welding temperature to prevent damage to the butyl rubber layer.

Maintenance and Care:

• Regularly check the sealing performance of the spacer bar and repair any issues promptly.

• Clean the spacer bar with mild water and neutral cleaning agents, avoiding strong acids or bases.

• Keep the spacer bar area dry to prevent water accumulation that may affect the sealing performance.
