£35.86
High-performance, single-component sealant based on butyl rubber, specifically designed for edge sealing factory-produced insulating glass (IG) units.
About this product
Bostik 5000 Hot Melt Butyl sealant sets quickly after application, allowing for efficient handling and processing of the units. As a leading product in the European market for IG unit manufacturing, Bostik 5000 offers outstanding long-term durability and performance.
Features
- Best-in-class barrier performance: Bostik 5000 provides an extremely low moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR), protecting the IG unit's cavity from moisture ingress. This prolongs the unit's service life and maintains its thermal performance.
- Superior gas retention: This sealant offers excellent barrier properties that maximise the retention of inert gases (like Argon) used in high-performance IG units, thereby enhancing the window's energy efficiency.
- Fast production turnaround: As a single-component hot melt, Bostik 5000 sets quickly upon cooling, allowing sealed units to be handled and moved within minutes. This significantly increases production line speed and efficiency, eliminating the need for long curing times.
- Excellent processability: The sealant's formula ensures excellent application characteristics for both manual and fully robotic dispensing equipment. Its anti-slump properties and string-free application ensure a clean, consistent, and uniform seal.
- Proven reliability: Bostik 5000 meets or exceeds the requirements of leading industry standards, including EN 1279 in Europe.
- Strong adhesion: It forms a powerful and durable bond to all standard glass and spacer bar materials, including aluminum, galvanised steel, and stainless steel.
- Thermal stability: The sealant maintains its integrity and tack at both high and low temperatures, ensuring long-term performance in various climates
