ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS is a hot applied sealant formulated for single seal insulating glass. This product has been designed for insulating glass manufacturers running hand applied, semi-automated, and linear extruded operations. Based upon ADCO’s proprietary high-strength technology, ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS offers substantial performance advantages including:

• Immediate high strength development for superior handling and transportation capabilities

• Excellent slump resistance, resulting in reduced after-application tooling

• Low after-application tack for ease of handling

• Excellent adhesion to glass and metal

Unlike other hot melt sealants, ADCO’s high-strength technology develops immediate strength upon cool-down. An ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS sealed window has sufficient strength at the end-of-line to withstand more than 4 times the shear stress associated with an unsupported residential lite, even at elevated temperatures up to 140^oF. This industry leading performance translates to a substantial reduction in risk of window damage during handling and transportation. ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS has been formulated to maintain it’s flexibility below temperature of -25ºF. 3070HS offers excellent resistance to the day-to-day temperature cycling a typical window experiences.

ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS has low argon permeability and exceptional moisture vapor transmission rates. The product has been formulated to exceed ASTM E2188, E2189, E2190 (HIGS) specifications.

NOTE:

The foregoing information is published as general information only. The listed properties and performance characteristics are typical values and are not to be interpreted as manufacturing specifications.

ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS is formulated to provide a primary moisture barrier for insulating glass units and provide structural integrity for the IG assembly. It is designed for use with hand-applied-extrusion equipment and fully-automated hot melt applicators. (See ADCO’s application guide for a complete outline of guidelines for hot melt applied sealants.)

Limitations

• ADCOTHERM™ 3070HS is not for use in structural or sloped glazing.

Glazing Compatibility
It is recommended that glazing materials be tested for compatibility and that all units be glazed in accordance with GANA (Glass Association of North America) and IGMA (Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance) recommendations. Contact with any solvent, oil, or plasticizer-containing glazing materials should be avoided.
