Unique dual seal system:

• Silicone foam 

• Improved gas retention through outer hot-melt butyl sealant  

• Fixed with acrylic adhesive

• Multilayer vapour barrier 

• Height 4.8 mm.

The Super Spacer® Premium  is a flexible silicone foam spacer, providing maximum thermal insulation of edge seals for insulating glass units. Desiccant filled, with pre-applied side adhesive and a multilayer vapour barrier, the structural foam spacer significantly simplifies sealed unit manufacture. Also available in 6.4 mm height as Super Spacer® Premium Plus. For all technical data, please refer to the Super Spacer® Premium datasheet.
