Abstract: The present invention relates to a glass, in particular a glass for the joining of glass panes for the production of vacuum insulating glasses at processing temperatures ?420° C., to the corresponding composite glass, and to the corresponding glass paste. Moreover, the present invention relates to a vacuum insulating glass produced using the glass paste according to the invention, to the production process thereof, and to the use of the inventive glass and/or composite glass, and glass paste. The glass according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises the following components, in units of mol-%: V2O5 5-58 mol-%,Te02 40-90 mol-%, and at least one oxide selected from ZnO 38-52 mol-%, or Al2O3 1-25 mol %, or MoO3 1-10 mol-%, or WO3 1-10 mol-%, or a combination thereof.
