Example text
Finally, it has been seen that most silicone sealants can release silicone oils which are not organic and do not take part in the photocatalytic self-cleaning reaction. These oils can cover the sell-cleaning coating for a band a few centimeters wide all around the window and permanently inhibit photocatalytic reaction. BARRY AND O'DAY ON SELF-CLEANING GLASS 25 The window fabricators and installers now have an added complication to their work. When the typical double-glazed window includes a clear low-emissivity and a clear self-cleaning coating, there are up to 8 or 12 different assembly combinations for positioning the coatings: only one is correct; the others are all wrong.
ON INSULATING GLASS UNITS 43 Dew-point testing to estimate remaining life span of insulating glass units was required for a municipal building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Figure 3). A previous consultant had made a preliminary investigation of water leakage problems and had determined, correctly, that removal of IG units in curtain wall cladding in the north and south elevations of the building was necessary to correct defects in the original installation (missing framing joint seals) that were responsible for chronic water leakage.
Because of the many factors that contribute to water vapour ingress into an IG unit, the rate of moisture gain is not likely to be constant such that estimation of remaining life span is not likely to be accurate based on a single measurement. More accurate estimation could be made if dew-point measurements were taken periodically, over many years. The results could be plotted as frequency histograms, and the rate of temperature increase of, for instance, the peak of the histogram curves vs. time could be calculated.
