Give Your Glazing a Structural Advantage

A Proven Track Record

SolvBond U10 stands out with its exceptional compatibility with all major brands of structural silicone, making it a go-to choice across a wide array of structure types. This not only ensures a reliable installation of structural silicone glazed (SSG) curtain wall systems but also guarantees peak performance under even the toughest conditions.

Moreover, the four-decade-long triumphant use of PU spacer tape (formerly known as Norton Tape) in SSG applications has led to endorsements from architects and features in prestigious global building projects. Our structural spacer tape also protects your SSG system from oxidation, temperature changes, and vapour build-ups, helping your system performs at its best, even in harsh weather conditions.

High Performance & Cutting-edge Design

With dynamic tensile and impressive shear adhesion performance, SolvBond U10 keeps the critical elements of your SSG system (including glass and frame) sturdy and undistorted during the silicone curing process.

Our structural glazing tape provides unrivalled load deformation performance, preserving specified sealant dimensions and maintaining stability during the silicone curing cycle. What sets us apart? Our cutting-edge open-cell structure promotes superior silicone curing, enhancing the long-term integrity of an SSG’s joint system.

Polyurethane Power

With a solid track record spanning over four decades, polyurethane foam structural glazing tape has made its mark on major global projects, cementing its position as a reliable choice in the glass façade industry.

Its proven performance under real-world conditions has made it such a trusted solution for professionals in the industry, that opting for alternatives could mean compromising your entire project.

We’ve channelled this 40-year history to create the strongest, most effective foam spacer that the industry has ever seen.
