NEW LITERATURE ON DESICCANTS FOR
LOWE COATED INSULATING GLASS UNITS

 Columbia, Maryland... — New literature from Grace Davison, a unit of W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn., explains the benefits of PHONOSORB 802 LDÒ desiccant for Low E Coated insulating glass units. This product bulletin provides information on chemical fogging problems associated with Low E Coated glass, describes product applications, features and benefits, and offers performance data.

Insulating glass units produced with Low E Glass are subject to two major sources of failure: Low E Coatings tarnish as a result of chemical vapors in the air space, and excessive glass deflection and stress cause adhesion failure at the Low E Coating/Sealant interface on units with no edge deletion. PHONOSORB 802 LD protects against chemical fogging while eliminating nitrogen adsorption and the related problem of glass deflection in insulating glass windows.
