A spacer includes a polymeric hollow profile, including a first and second side wall, a glazing interior wall connecting the side walls to one another; an outer wall arranged parallel to the glazing interior wall and connects the side walls to one another; a cavity surrounded by the side walls, the glazing interior wall, and the outer wall, a moisture barrier on the first side wall, the outer wall, and the second side wall, wherein the moisture barrier includes a multi-layer system having a barrier function including a polymeric layer and an inorganic barrier layer, a metallic or ceramic outer adhesive layer having a thickness of less than 100 nm, a binding layer between the adhesive layer and the multi-layer system and including a polymer selected from oriented propylene, oriented polyethylene terephthalate, biaxially oriented propylene, and biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate. The binding layer is directly adjacent the adhesive layer.

Spacer having improved adhesion

An insulating glazing includes a first a second pane, a spacer between the first and second pane that is fixedly connected to the first and second pane in a water-vapor-tight manner in each case, which spacer has two parallel pane contact walls, an outer wall, and a glazing interior wall and an interior, and a water-tight sealant strip running around the outer wall between the first and second pane. A pressure-equalizing element is inserted into the sealant strip and the spacer, which pressure-equalizing element is open to the surrounding atmosphere and to the interior of the spacer or to the glazing interior between the first and the second pane and is implemented such that it provides a gas connection having a pressure-equalizing function between the atmosphere and the interior of the spacer or the glazing interior which gas connection is temporally limited due to aging and/or atmospheric influences.

Insulating glazing and method for producing same

An insulating glazing having a pressure equalization body includes a capillary and a membrane, wherein a first pane is mounted on a first pane contact surface of the spacer and a second pane is mounted on a second pane contact surface of the spacer, the first and second panes and the glazing interior surface of the spacer enclose an inner interpane space, the first and second panes and the outer surface of the spacer enclose an outer interpane space, the pressure equalization body is inserted into an opening on the outer surface, the pressure equalization body contains a gas-permeable membrane and a capillary, the inner interpane space is gas-permeably connected to the atmosphere via the capillary and the membrane, and the capillary has, in at least one section, a diameter less than or equal to 1.2 mm.
