Satisfying the toughest warm edge demands
Glaston’s advanced architectural glass TPS® (Thermo Plastic Spacer) technology provides processors with end products to satisfy the toughest warm edge demands. Insulating glass units made with TPS® improve energy efficiency in buildings, increase durability and reduce energy costs.
A major advantage of TPS® is its production flexibility. By directly applying the Thermo Plastic Spacer onto the glass lite significantly simplifies the processes for IG manufacturers. The entire production mix can be manufactured on one line using various TPS® IG production lines – from individually configurable solutions via fast system solutions with shortest cycle times to maxi size solutions for glass sizes up to 9 m in length.
