Vitro Architectural Glass Launches Intercept LiteLock System
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) and GED Integrated Solutions, LLC (GED) have announced the launch of Intercept LiteLock™, a new extruder tip and sealant bead application system that provides licensees of Intercept® insulating glass technology with enhanced efficiency, performance and quality improvements.
Intercept LiteLock™ facilitates 30% to 50% faster processing speeds on GED’s Intercept® Oven & Roll Press while creating a wider manufacturing process window. This results in a more consistent, uniform and secure seal between the Intercept® spacer and the glass lite, which maximizes the service life of Intercept® insulating glass units (IGUs) and enhances window makers’ operations by offering increased throughput, lower oven and roll press exit temperatures, reduced energy consumption, reduced consumable parts costs, precise sealant application and a smoother, more forgiving application process.
