Edgetherm® 3500 Insulating Glass Butyl Sealant

Versatile hot melt butyl sealant engineered to improve insulating glass fabrication efficiency, moisture resistance, and long-term IG unit durability.

Edgetherm® 3500 is a versatile single-part insulating glass butyl sealant engineered to help IGU manufacturers improve fabrication efficiency while supporting long-term unit durability and thermal performance.

Designed for both manual and automated insulating glass production environments, Edgetherm 3500 sets quickly from its molten state, allowing insulating glass units to move rapidly through production and be glazed the same day. Its balanced performance characteristics help manufacturers maintain cleaner applications, minimize downtime, and improve overall process consistency.

Engineered for strong movement accommodation, low-temperature flexibility, and low moisture vapor transmission, Edgetherm 3500 functions as an effective moisture and gas barrier sealant for demanding insulating glass applications. The sealant is formulated to resist slumping and stringing during application while maintaining durable adhesion and flexibility throughout the life of the unit.

Compatible with a wide range of insulating glass manufacturing systems and warm-edge spacer technologies, Edgetherm 3500 supports efficient fabrication without sacrificing long-term insulating glass performance or seal integrity.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Fast Production Flow
Quick-setting performance allows units to move from assembly to glazing rapidly, helping improve fabrication throughput and production efficiency.

Clean Application
Formulated to resist slumping and stringing, helping manufacturers maintain cleaner equipment and more consistent sealant application.

Flexible IG Production Integration
Compatible with manual hand-gun operations as well as automated robotic IGU dispensing systems.

Reduced Manufacturing Downtime
No curing delays, no aeration, and minimal cleanup requirements help streamline manufacturing operations.

Long-term IG Performance

Movement Accommodation
Designed to extend up to 290% before failure, helping maintain seal integrity during thermal expansion and contraction cycles.

Cold-Weather Flexibility
Maintains flexibility in cold-temperature environments down to -22°F to support durability in demanding climates.

Moisture Barrier Resistance
Low moisture vapor transmission performance helps protect insulating glass units from long-term moisture penetration and seal degradation.

Gas Barrier Support
Low gas permeability helps support thermal performance and long-term efficiency in gas-filled insulating glass units.
