[Improving Efficiency] Booth 613: H.B. Fuller Tight But Elastic H.B. Fuller will present its thermoplas-tic warm edge solution Ködispace 4SG, which combines energy effi-ciency with durability. Ködispace 4SG re-places the conventional edge system made of spacer bar, desiccant and primary seal, by creating a chemical bond with glass and silicone for a tight but elastic unit. If there is permanent deforma-tion of glass lites caused by heat or cold, the flexible warm edge system absorbs movements to prevent gas leakage. The black sealant is applied automatically and with the utmost precision by a robot. As a result, insulating glass units are “aesthetically perfect,” the company suggests, and can be produced in almost unlimited variety. www.hbfuller.com The company will also bring its latest generation of single component alkoxy glazing sealant. A neutral cure, low modulus glazing sealant, the product is low-VOC and PFAS-free to safeguard the environment. www.novagard.com Booth 1603: Deceuninck North America Structural Strength With Energy Performance Deceuninck will ex-hibit a line of fiber-re-inforced polymer parts that can be custom de-signed for doors and windows to provide the strength of aluminum in a thermally efficient product. According to company information, Innergy AP components deliver unparalleled struc-tural strength with very low conductivity for excellent thermal performance. Components come with a va-riety of options, including pressure plates, structural thermal struts and reinforcements. Rigid thermal reinforcements provide support and a thermal break for door and window systems, while serving as an energy-efficient alternative to aluminum inserts. The company will also show off its Eos line of doors, which come with an optional sill that meets the most recent ADA standards for easier ingress and egress. www.deceuninckna.com [Discovering New Alternatives] Booth 1313: Novagard Solutions A New Generation of Sealants Novagard plans to demon-strate several new products this year. Building on the success of its Qwik-Set line of two-com-ponent sealants, officials for the woman-owned silicone manufac-turer say they’re debuting Qwik-Set Low Migration Adhesive & Glazing Sealant. Specifically formulated to meet the stringent low migration qualifications established by Cardinal Glass, the product will help protect secondary seals in insulating glass. “Qwik-Set rapidly builds adhesive and elastomeric strength, and this low migration feature will ensure long window life,” says Mike Kister, vice president of product management. [Find Ways to Do It Yourself] Booth 1331: Erdman Automation Corp. and FlexScreen Offering In-House Production FlexScreen and Erdman Automation have teamed up this year to present an industry-first: what officials say is the world’s first and only automated window screen line.
