Abstract: The composition for preparation of a fire resistant interlayer includes an aqueous alkali silicate solution and a silicon dioxide compound. The composition has a molar ratio of silicon dioxide (SiO2) to alkali metal oxide (M2O) of larger than 2. The composition further includes a stabilisation agent and the stabilisation agent includes zinc (Zn).

Abstract: Fire protection glazing made of two or more glass panes spaced apart from each other by a spacer. A fire protection material and the spacer are arranged in an intermediate space between the two glass panes. A secondary seal encloses the fire protection material and the spacer in the intermediate space. The secondary seal has a cooling fire protection property and is free of any intumescent fire protection property. Exclusively the fire protection material, the spacer, optionally having an optional spacer attachment for attaching the spacer to the glass pane, and the secondary seal can be arranged in the intermediate space between the two glass panes.

Abstract: An insulated glazing unit is provided. The unit includes a spacer frame separating a pair of substrates. The spacer frame has a length and a width transverse to the length. The unit further includes a conductive element passing through the width of the spacer frame. The unit further includes a first conductive component within the spacer frame. The first conductive component is in electrical communication with the conductive element. The conductive element is adapted for electrical communication with a second conductive component on a side of the width of the spacer frame opposite the first conductive component.

Abstract: An insulative separation element bridges first and second conductive spacer ends of a spacer frame of an active or insulated glazing unit. The insulative separation element includes first and second outer sections dimensioned for placement into the first and second conductive spacer ends. The insulative separation element includes an intermediate section connecting the first and second outer sections. The intermediate section has opposing first and second faces dimensioned for abutment with and insulative separation of the first and second spacer ends, respectively.
