Cold Sulfur VS HotMelt for DGU - What's the Difference?

❗️ #ATTENTION In the offers of double glazing that you receive.. ❗️

The consumer must finally learn all the information about 
the double glazing he pays to put in his frames and
compare according to the quality and certification of the manufacturer!

Basic Difference Cold Sulfur VS Hot Glue

The main difference, in the perimeter sealing of the Double Glazing,
between the outdated Hotmelt hot glue & the Two-component 
Cold Sulfur glue lies in the way in which these two glues are 
liquefied to take their final position between the two glasses.

The hot glue is initially in solid form (a black cube 6.5 kg) which 
is placed in a bucket at a temperature of 160-190 ° C, 
liquefied & through a nozzle (pistol) is placed around the 
perimeter of the double glazing.

As soon as the hot glue comes out of the gun, it cools down & regains
 its solid form.

As it is easily understood, this glue can become fluid again if 
heated and, therefore, to create holes (small holes) from which 
moisture will penetrate into the Double Glass, the well-known blur.

Also, the hot seal does not guarantee that the ARGON does not escape
 from the gap between the glasses.

Watch the first video at the top.

The hot glue, due to high temperatures from the sun, 
had become fluid again and peeled off. The double broke down and 
needed to be replaced in just a few (2-3) years.


COLD SULFUR GLUE OF TWO INGREDIENTS.

Cold Sulfur Glue, on the other hand, assures us that 
we will avoid the above two big problems of double glazing.

Documenting the reasons why this is the case, we report that 
Cold Sealing is performed with two components which are mixed in 
a ratio of 1:10.

The sulfur and the catalyst are in liquid form (imagined as large 
containers of honey), which are mixed in a ratio of 1 to 10 inside 
the spiral of the pistol & come out of it in liquid form of high 
density to seal the gap in the perimeter between two windows.

Cold Sealing, does not polymerize (harden) immediately and usually
takes from 30 'to & 3 hours, depending on weather conditions. 

Cold Sealing, when solidified, can never be liquefied again in 
the future since on the one hand no heat is used to liquefy it and
 on the other hand the two mixed materials can no longer be refined.
 This definitively avoids: 

 

Detachment Phenomena 
Moisture Penetration (Blurring) 
Escape ARGON
