Edgetech I.G. Inc. to Present at Glass Processing Days China 2006

Gerhard Reichert, vice president of international business development for Cambridge, Ohio-based Edgetech I.G. Inc., is scheduled to present "Improving Long-Term Energy Performance of Insulating Glass in Buildings," at Glass Processing Days (GPD) China 2006, taking place April 23-24 in Beijing.

In his presentation, Reichert will review the latest technological trends for improving insulating glass quality and optimizing insulating glass energy performance. According to information from Edgetech, the primary butyl seal in insulating glass technology has been responsible for providing durability to the energy saving properties of glass in buildings. Reichert will discuss two new trends in improving the consistency and quality of the primary butyl seal. All new robotic gunning is also being introduced to the market, along with online butyl extrusion automation, to offer new standards in quality for insulating glass design and production. Edgetech says these new technological achievements in processing energy saving glass products translate into longer lasting, high performance IG units for improved energy management and environmental safety in buildings.

GPD China will be held at the Landmark Hotel Beijing. The China Glass Exhibition will immediately follow. For more information, visit www.gpd.fi/china.
