SolvBond U10 – Polyurethane Structural Glazing Spacer Tape
Precision PU Spacer Performance for Structural Silicone Glazing Systems
SolvBond U10 provides precise, consistent spacing for two-sided and four-sided structural silicone glazing systems. Its open-cell polyurethane foam structure supports efficient silicone curing while establishing and maintaining the specified joint spacing throughout the curing process.
Engineered for Two-Sided and Four-Sided SSG Systems
SolvBond U10 is a premium double-sided polyurethane spacer tape developed for two-sided and four-sided structural silicone glazing systems. Its open-cell foam structure promotes access to air and moisture during curing and allows VOCs released by the silicone sealant to escape from the system, while establishing and maintaining the precise, specified spacing required for the structural silicone joint.
Open-Cell Foam Structure
Promotes access to air and moisture to support efficient structural silicone curing.
Universal Structural Silicone Compatibility
Compatible with all major structural silicone sealants tested for use in structural glazing systems.
VOC Permeability
Allows VOCs generated by the structural silicone sealant to escape from the glazing system during curing.
Reduced Thermal Conductivity
Helps limit thermal transfer through the spacer area and supports overall façade-system performance.
Environmental Resistance
Designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, fungal growth and oxidation under demanding service conditions.
Load Deformation Performance
Helps preserve the specified spacer thickness and joint spacing under load throughout the silicone curing process.
Green Building Commitment
Its reduced thermal conductivity supports energy-conscious façade design and broader green-building objectives.
Dynamic Tensile & Shear Adhesion Performance
Helps keep glass and framing interfaces securely positioned throughout the silicone curing process.
