The triple seal system Super Spacer® T-Spacer™ Premium meets the most stringent commercial requirements including Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG).  

• T-shaped silicone foam 

• Two-sided acrylic adhesive allows immediate handling of the units

• Polyisobutylene seal provides improved gas and water vapour tightness 

• Multilayer vapour barrier 

• Outer silicone seal for proven structural glazing application, polyurethane or polysulfide sealants for all other applications

• Height 6.3 mm 

These flexible T-shaped spacers made of silicone foam are provided with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on the side, which enables highly efficient automated processing and application of the sealants (polyisobutylene and edge sealant). Available in 7.3 mm height as Super Spacer® T-Spacer™ Premium Plus Structural Sealant Glazing requires UV-stable silicone sealing. For all technical data, please refer to the Super Spacer® T-Spacer™ Premium datasheet.  Information on Super Spacer® spacers for manual processing can be found under Super Spacer® TriSeal™ Premium Plus.
