The production of both insulating glass and curtain walls incorporates bonding and sealing steps that use multi-component adhesives. The success of these bonding and sealing steps depends on proper mixing and accurate, on-ratio dispensing of the adhesive components. Many of the mixing and dispensing methods used today have serious drawbacks that can impact final product quality, material costs, and production time.
Recent additions to the proportioner market incorporate new technology that addresses many of these issues. This new technology offers improved real-time ratio assurance, reduced material usage and enhanced tracking of key information. With these benefits, final product quality is improved and both material cost and production time are decreased.
