A spacer is provided that is shapable into a spacer frame, and during manufacture of an insulating glass unit, can be mounted on the glass panes. The spacer is formed having an inner surface, an outer surface and two lateral surfaces extending at either side of the spacer from the inner surface to the outer surface, and comprises a profiled body. The profiled body comprises two mutually spaced lateral faces running parallel to its longitudinal direction and a base body that extends between the lateral faces and has an outer and an inner face. The profiled body comprises at least in one part of its volume a quantity of particulate desiccant that is embedded in a plastics material. The spacer is coilable about an axis, perpendicularly to the lateral surfaces, and takes a flexurally rigid form in a plane perpendicular to the lateral surfaces.

Spacer for insulated glass units

A spacer for insulating glass panes comprises a profile body made using a first plastics material, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section with first and second side walls arranged in parallel, each having a free end and an inner wall extending between the first and the second side wall, and a vapor diffusion barrier made of a poorly heat conducting material, extending from the free end of the first side wall to the free end of the second side wall, wherein the vapor diffusion barrier is arranged substantially in parallel to and spaced apart from the inner wall. The profile body together with the vapor diffusion barrier encloses a cavity of the spacer which is optionally configured to accommodate a desiccant.

Spacer for insulating glass panes

A spacer for insulating glass panes has a profile body configured as a closed hollow profile substantially closed in cross section, the profile body having first and second side walls in parallel spaced apart from each other, an inner wall extending between the first and second side walls, and an outer wall extending from the first to the second side wall spaced apart from the inner wall. The outer wall comprises a first wall section aligned substantially parallel to the inner wall, second and third wall sections arranged on both sides of the first wall section, the latter, in cross section to the axial direction of the body, aligned at an obtuse angle to the first wall section and to the respective adjacent side wall, and connect thereon. The spacer includes an integral, reinforcing element, extending from the first side wall over the outer wall to the second side wall.

A spacer for insulating glass panes has a profile body having a cross section having first and second side walls, an inner wall and an outer wall, forming a closed hollow profile, wherein first and second filamentary reinforcing elements are arranged in the inner wall, the first primary reinforcing element being arranged in a first portion of the cross section in which the inner wall adjoins the first side wall, and the second reinforcing element being arranged in a second portion of the cross section in which the inner wall adjoins the second side wall, the first and second primary reinforcing elements being arranged, as regards their cross sectional surfaces, at most approximately 50% in the first and/or in the second side wall, and such that spacing between the centroids of the cross sectional surfaces of these reinforcing elements is approximately 40% or more of spacing between the side walls.
