TruPlas is a thermoplastic spacer bar from Edgetech UK, featuring glass reinforcement for added rigidity. This design aims to provide both stability and strength, and its ridged surface mimics a traditional look without sacrificing efficiency or performance.

Using rigid warm edge spacer bars like TruPlas can be beneficial, particularly in terms of temperature performance for windows. The product's composition includes glass-reinforced thermoplastic, known for its low thermal conductivity, which helps in reducing heat loss in insulated glass units.

One of the key features of TruPlas is its dual-seal warm edge spacer, suitable for double glazed units. This includes a vapor barrier with an advanced acrylic that becomes stronger when heated, along with good UV resistance and prevention of chemical fogging. This design helps to avoid issues like HMB blowing out at the corners.

Aesthetically, TruPlas is designed to be visually appealing. Its ridged thermoplastic surface gives a traditional look when used in insulated glass unit manufacture. It comes in three colors - black, white, and light grey - all offering good color stability and a matte surface finish.

In terms of manufacturing insulated glass units, TruPlas is compatible with traditional methods. Various machinery options, including spacer bar cutting saws and automatic bar bending machinery, can be used. Edgetech also provides support for all types of machinery used in the manufacturing process, including manual, semi-automated, and fully automatic systems, with technical support during installation, training, and troubleshooting.

TruPlas is available with a variety of connecting keys for different applications, including standard corner keys in colors matching the spacer bars and gas corner keys for gas-filled units.

Lastly, the TruPlas Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) system is another option for insulated glass unit (IGU) manufacturers, offering a design that improves rigidity and addresses issues related to frame twisting in large IGUs, a common problem with some other systems.
