Technoform Showcasing New Innovations at GlassBuild
Technoform North America is showcasing its solutions for insulating glass and fenestration systems at GlassBuild America Nov. 4-6 in booth #29013. On Wed., Nov. 5, 2-4 p.m. EST, Technoform will host an in-booth a cocktail reception to celebrate its new products and partnerships.
What to expect at GlassBuild
During GlassBuild, a collaborative trio, GED Integrated Solutions, Inc.; Vitro Architectural Glass and Technoform, will introduce the new Intercept Extreme warm edge spacer system for high-performance residential windows.
GlassBuild America’s exposition takes place Nov. 4-6, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center’s South Building in Orlando and is produced by the National Glass Association (NGA). Registration is required and NGA members can attend at no cost.
GlassBuild visitors to Technoform’s booth will learn about the latest in polyamide (PA) thermal barrier technologies. These products support energy-efficient, environmentally responsible building envelopes and occupants’ comfort, health and well-being.
Technoform low-lambda polyamide (PA)
Incorporating Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer and PA-based insulation profiles in fenestration can improve thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. This approach involves reduction in the thermal conductivity of the PA itself.
The lower-conductivity PA, often referred to as “low lambda,” allows fabricators to achieve lower assembly U-factors in each frame design without widening its barrier. As a result, it may be possible to improve the performance of an existing design without changing extrusions, simply by substituting the existing barrier with one made of lower-conductivity PA.
Technoform’s special glass fiber-reinforced PA 66 GF25, dry impact-resistant mixture has a low-lambda value of 0.198 W/(mK), which is more than a 30% improvement over standard PA. It is optimized to produce slimline structural and reinforcement profiles, while maintaining required U-factor values.
Technoform Adhesion Prime
Technoform Adhesion Prime can enhance the adhesion properties of polyamide (PA) strips by modifying the thermal barrier surface. This technology aims to improve aluminum-framed fenestration and glazing systems’ thermal insulation, condensation resistance and acoustic performance and maintains comfortable interiors for occupants near the façade.
Saving fabricators time, labor and costs, this technology offers the same high level of adhesion to sealants, without the need for chemical primers and without added steps to current best practices and processes. Simplifying assembly, Technoform Adhesion Prime also helps reduce the quantity and cost of frame components, and the weight of the assembled structure.
Supporting energy-efficient building envelopes, Technoform Adhesion Prime creates a bond between the silicone adhesive and the PA thermal barrier’s surface that is strong enough to meet all the structural requirements of ASTM C1401 – Standard Guide for Structural Glazing Sealants. Structural sealant glazing (SSG) primarily provides structural support and attachment of glazing or other components to a window, curtain wall or other framing system.
