Abstract
There is disclosed an insulating strip and assembly suitable for use with glass substrates. The strip includes a continuous self supporting integral layer, for example, of a polyethylene terephthalate overlying sealant material and a continuous axial channel for independently receiving desiccant material. The strip provides enhanced insulation capacity with high adhesiveness.
Claims5
An insulated glass assembly including a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate, said assembly comprising:
- a first length of sealant means and a second length of sealant means in spaced facing relation defining a space therebetween, each said length contacting a glass substrate;
- a continuous polymeric self-supporting support layer contacting the first and second lengths oft said sealant means, said continuous self-support layer and said sealant means being arranged between said glass substrate for forming an axial channel between said substrates;
- and
- desiccant means positioned within said space and separate from said sealant means and said support layer, said desiccant means being between the first and second lengths of said sealant means.
