Technoform North America showcases its high-performance solutions for insulating glass and fenestration systems at GlassBuild America in booth #29013.


Face-to-Face Connections

On Wed., Nov. 5, 2-4 p.m. EST, Technoform will host an in-booth a cocktail reception to celebrate its new products and partnerships.
 
During GlassBuild, a collaborative trio of industry leaders – GED Integrated Solutions, Inc.; Vitro™ Architectural Glass and Technoform – will introduce the new Intercept® Extreme™ warm edge spacer system for high-performance residential windows.
 
GlassBuild America’s exposition takes place Nov. 4-6, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center’s South Building in Orlando and is produced by the National Glass Association (NGA). Registration is required and NGA members can attend at no cost.
 

Innovation on Display

GlassBuild visitors to Technoform’s booth will learn about the latest in polyamide (PA) thermal barrier technologies. These products support energy-efficient, environmentally responsible building envelopes and occupants’ comfort, health and well-being.


Technoform low-lambda polyamide (PA) for fenestration framing

Incorporating Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer and high-precision PA-based insulation profiles in fenestration improves thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. This innovative approach involves reduction in the thermal conductivity of the PA itself.
 
The lower-conductivity PA, often referred to as “low lambda,” allows fabricators to achieve lower assembly U-factors in each frame design without widening its barrier. As a result, it may be possible to improve the performance of an existing design without changing extrusions, simply by substituting the existing barrier with one made of lower-conductivity PA.
 
Technoform’s special glass fiber-reinforced PA 66 GF25, dry impact-resistant mixture has a low-lambda value of 0.198 W/(mK), which is more than a 30% improvement over standard PA. It is optimized to produce slimline structural and reinforcement profiles, while maintaining required U-factor values.
 
Please see Technoform’s low-lambda PA webpage for additional information and visit booth #29013 at GlassBuild America.


Technoform Adhesion Prime for thermal barrier surfaces

Technoform Adhesion Prime enhances the adhesion properties of polyamide (PA) strips by modifying the thermal barrier surface. This technology improves aluminum-framed fenestration and glazing systems’ thermal insulation, condensation resistance and acoustic performance, and maintains comfortable interiors for occupants near the façade.
 
Saving fabricators time, labor and costs, this technology offers the same high level of adhesion to sealants, without the need for chemical primers and without added steps to current best practices and processes. Simplifying assembly, Technoform Adhesion Prime also helps reduce the quantity and cost of frame components, and the weight of the assembled structure.
 
Supporting energy-efficient building envelopes, Technoform Adhesion Prime creates a bond between the silicone adhesive and the PA thermal barrier’s surface that is strong enough to meet all the structural requirements of ASTM C1401 – Standard Guide for Structural Glazing Sealants. Structural sealant glazing (SSG) primarily provides structural support and attachment of glazing or other components to a window, curtain wall or other framing system.
 
Please see Technoform’s Adhesion Prime webpage for additional information and visit booth #29013 at GlassBuild America.
