Long-time chemical leader for the secondary processing of flat glass, Fenzi has proven to be a reliable partner capable of meeting the particular needs of high-performance insulating glass manufacturers by successfully providing any technology required. This is precisely why Fenzi has expanded its range of solutions for high-performance insulating glass units by introducing Butylver TPS and Butylver SS - just one more example of the group’s successful strategy to keep step with the continuous development of technology. The two new Fenzi products are already available on the market.
Butylver TPS is the new ultra-high quality thermoplastic spacer bar developed by Fenzi’s laboratories for use with the special applicators produced by Lenhardt®, which has already tested and approved the product. Butylver TPS combines perfect workability with the first-rate, long- lasting thermal performance for which TPS technology is distinguished. It is also completely compatible with Thiover, the world’s top-selling two-component polysulphide sealant. Butylver TPS tops off the warm edge product line, which has been the focus of significant investments by Fenzi and the entire Glass Alliance network over recent years. “Our Butylver TPS is a highly effective option for manufacturers who choose to use Lenhardt® applicators. Our involvement in this technology provides TPS users with an alternative supplier with respect to the choices available up to now. This is a decisive step for us, because this new product completes our product line and allows us to offer the best of all possible technologies for the production of high- performance insulating glass,” confirms Alessandro Fenzi, the group’s CEO.
The group’s product line has also been enhanced with the introduction of Butylver SS, a particular formulation of the Butylver sealant suited for manufacturers using Edgetech’s Triseal® technology.
Butylver SS sealants have been uniquely engineered for application on the flexible spacer bars used in this type of technology. The flexible spacer bars are made of plastic material, much softer than metal, so difficulties may arise during the application and pressing process. Butylver SS is a particularly soft butyl, which adapts perfectly to the flexible spacer bar when pressed, without damaging or straining it. Butylver SS is the best barrier to prevent gas leaks and is therefore the main backbone of the entire system.
