IGCC/IGMA CERTIFIED AT FACTORY-DIRECT PRICES

NEDEX offers factory-direct one-stop IG component sourcing for sustainable supply-chain savings (spacers, sealants, sieves) to the North American market (via Glasslam). In fact, approx. 250,000,000 square meters of glass are produced a year which contain components from our supplier. NEDEX operate mines local to their factories in NATO country Turkey, that secure their supply indefinitely, and acts as a bridge between Europe and Asia.

NEDEX's flagship desiccant, NANOMOL (EcoSieve™) is calcium-oxide based, which is more cost-effective, energy-saving and non-polluting. Calcium-oxide production is a completely dry process, and no wastewater is discharged. In comparison, zeolite based desiccant produces 20 tons of waste water for every ton of desiccant, polluting our planet.

And NANOMOL (EcoSieve™) costs less than standard zeolite dessicant.

Key Features:

• Very low gas desorption values

• Very high water adsorption capacity

• Granulation without broken particles and

• Zero dust content

• Zero wastewater (no environmental impact)

Nedex molecular sieve NANOMOL (EcoSieve™) is a mixture of calcium oxide containing natural desiccants and natural binders. The product is designed for a static water adsorption process with very low adsorption speed.

NANOMOL (EcoSieve™) is an adsorbent for insulating glass units with specifications according to ASTM E2190 (IGCC/IGMA).

With an optimized density it can reach very good water adsorption capacity in a specific volume. It has no chemical reactions to aluminium, steel, galvanized steel and plastics.

NEDEX GROUP produces a wide variety of insulating glass spacers (in both of Aluminum and Plastic Hybrid). Servicing the varied requirements of fabricators around the world, NEDEX produces more than 300 million feet of aluminum spacers and 100 million feet of plastic spacers yearly. Insulating glass spacer bars are designed depending on the demands of glass manufacturers.

NEDEX is also producing corner keys for its spacer bars and recommend the use of them together. NEDEX aluminium spacers and warm edge spacers are for Insulating Glass Units with specifications according to EN 1279:2018 and ASTM E2190 (IGCC/IGMA).

ALUMINUM SPACERS

Aluminum spacers are made for cut & plug applications, with plastic corner connectors and for machine bending with metallic straight connectors. The thickness of the aluminum materials varies from 0,18 mm for lower thermal conductivity and cost efficiency to 0,35 mm for bendability and strength.

There are different sizes of aluminum spacers with a nominal width of 6 mm to 24 mm. The standard lengths of the aluminum spacers are 3 m, 5 m and 6 m. Other lengths are optional on request. Name, date and imprint are available.

In addition, if required, NEDEX can produce colored spacers in many colors using powder coating technology. A minimum of oil is required for chemicals to adhere better to aluminum spacers.

The tightness of weld seams and the functionally of the perforation holes are under constant control along the production lines. The end products are solvent free and volatile tests are carried out in the laboratory continuously. NEDEX ALUMINIUM SPACERS are for Insulating Glass Units with specifications according to EN1279:2018 and ASTM E2190 (IGCC/IGMA).

(NANOBAR) WARM-EDGE SPACERS

NEDEX warm edge spacers (NANOBAR) have lowest Σλd- and Ψ-values. NANOBAR has maximum number of perforation holes for a better IGU performance. NEDEX warm edge spacers can be produced in widths between 8-24 mm. Their stability and material specifications make their processing in bending lines possible. They can even be installed in IG units, which are under extreme external loads.

Improved energy efficiency and very good thermal properties. Metallic and nonmetallic coatings at the backside of warm edge spacers guarantee perfect tightness against water vapour and argon permeation. Surfaces which are in contact with sealants have very good adhesion to sealants.

NEDEX warm edge spacers have high UV stability, scratch resistancy of surfaces and low heat expansion coefficients. NEDEX warm edge spacers are produced in fully automatic lines with raw materials which are very high UV fogging-free. It leads to reduced risk of condensation and mould formation in the edge area, with perfect appearance.

NANOBAR warm edge spacers are for Insulating Glass Units with specifications according to EN 1279:2018 and ASTM E2190 (IGCC/IGMA).
