Abstract: A spacer for insulating glazing units is presented. The spacer includes a main body having first and second pane contact legs that are parallel, first and second glazing interior legs, an outer leg, first and second hollow chambers extending along an extension direction, and a groove for receiving a pane. Arranged in the groove, there is an extruded pane receiving socket formed from a polymer having a Shore hardness A in a range from 10 to 80 as measured per DIN ISO 7619-1. In a surface of the pane receiving socket, a receiving recess running substantially parallel to the groove and decreasingly tapering viewed in cross-section in a direction of the outer leg is implemented. Also described are a method for producing the spacer and a multiple insulating glazing unit having the spacer.
