Description
Dorman® Bendable Aluminum Spacer Bar is used during the fabrication of curved and shaped insulated glass units to form the perimeter cavity between glass panes. Its flexible profile can be bent and shaped to follow curved or customized glass contours, making it suitable for architectural windows, doors, façades, skylights, and decorative glazing. The hollow spacer chamber accommodates desiccant material, while the perforated structure allows moisture from the sealed cavity to reach the desiccant. This construction supports proper cavity formation and reliable edge assembly in specialized insulated glazing applications.
Spec & Technical Data
Dorman® Bendable Aluminum Spacer Bar is manufactured from 3000 Series Aluminum Alloy, providing a suitable balance of flexibility, strength, durability, and formability for curved IGU fabrication. The hollow profile incorporates precision perforations for desiccant filling and moisture transfer, while the aluminum construction provides good resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Its smooth and bright surface supports consistent handling, forming, assembly, and secondary sealing during production. The bendable profile is engineered to accommodate controlled forming while retaining the dimensional stability required for accurate glass spacing and reliable insulated glazing assembly.
