Argon Gas Retention

 Argon gas filling is an effective way to ensure a window system achieves optimal thermal efficiencies. Argon is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, non-reactive, inert gas that slows down convection in the insulating glass air space that causes drafts.  It is the most popular type of gas used in this application, although krypton can also be used.

At manufacture, argon is injected between the two glass lites in an insulating glass unit. Whether argon gas will do its job throughout the life of the window system depends on the seal. Super Spacer resists argon gas absorption, providing the industry’s most consistent seal and gas loss rates of less than one percent.
