Insulating glazing unit having a pyrotechnic module

An insulating glazing unit, comprising:

• a first pane;
• a second pane;
• a circumferential spacer comprising a first pane contact surface, a second pane contact surface that is parallel to the first pane contact surface, a glazing interior surface, and an outer surface;
• and
• a pyrotechnic module comprising a pyrotechnic composition and an igniter,
• wherein the first pane is bonded to the first pane contact surface, and the second pane is bonded to the second pane contact surface,
• wherein the first pane, the second pane, and the glazing interior surface enclose an inner interpane space, and
• wherein the pyrotechnic composition is configured to release an aerosol in the inner interpane space after activation by the igniter.

A method for producing an insulating glazing unit, comprising:

• a) bonding a first pane to a first pane contact surface of a spacer via a sealant;
• b) bonding a second pane to a second pane contact surface of the spacer via a sealant, thereby providing a pane arrangement comprising the first and second panes and the spacer;
• and
• c) pressing the pane arrangement together,
• wherein prior to step a), a pyrotechnic module is introduced into at least one hollow chamber of the spacer, or
• wherein in step a), a pyrotechnic module is arranged in an inner interpane space between the first pane and the second pane.
