Dow is offering architectural designers and specifiers the opportunity to realise an aesthetically pleasing ‘one colour edge’ for insulating glass, which is a key design element in modern glass facades.

This colour matched edge sealant system comprises a DOWSIL primary and secondary sealant which when combined, offers high performance in gas-filled insulating glass for a homogenous appearance and improved aesthetics at the glass edge.

DOWSIL butyl sealant special black is a heat applied polyisobutylene (PIB) for use as the primary edge seal, which also acts as a gas and moisture barrier.

DOWSIL secondary silicone sealants help maintain the integrity of both air and gas-filled dual and triple-glazed insulating glass units.

Suitable for glass assembly using both standard and warm edge plastic or metal spacers, DOWSIL 335 butyl sealant special black is in full compliance with EN 1279 in an insulating glass system and can be used in high performance glazing systems that are designed to perform under elevated temperatures in specific designs or warmer climates.
