New buildings and homes increasingly incorporate larger window encasements to let in more light and to satisfy demands for “warmer” more inviting interior spaces. At the same time, larger glass exposures require robust insulation technology to minimize heat loss in winter and heat gain during summer. Today's windows manufactured for “green” buildings may include argon gas as the insulation agent between two or more panes as well as low-emittance (Low-e) metal-oxide coatings formulated to reflect radiant energy during the summer season. Manufacturing “green” windows for long-term efficiency and integrity – with protection from invasive air and moisture – requires the very best performing insulating glass sealant technology.

A world leader in insulating glass sealants, the ADCO Global organization offers primary and secondary sealants to maximize the life expectancy of IG units and minimize structural permeability and the loss of insulating gas in argon-filled units. The primary sealant, used in conjunction with compatible ADCO secondary sealant technology, allows manufacturers of insulating glass units to meet the most rigid service life standards without compromising on established production methods.
