IGK launches reactive TPS system on the market

IGK is expanding its range of thermoplastic spacers for modern warm edge bonding solutions. In addition to the tried-and-tested IGK 611 and IGK 611 FH products, we are now launching a TPS system that reacts chemically with the glass and forms a permanently elastic bond. It can be processed precisely on automated extruder lines and significantly increases productivity in the production of double or triple insulating glass units. A unique advantage is that it can be combined with our polysulphide and polyurethane sealants. Certification of the new reactive TPS system is about to be finalised.

IGK honoured with gold medal

The award of the EcoVadis Gold Medal 2024 means that IGK is among the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the last 12 months. For us as a medium-sized company, this recognition is a great success. We are proud that our commitment to sustainability has been recognised in this way.

The award underlines our endeavours to integrate ecological, social and economic responsibility into all our business areas and to create long-term sustainable solutions.

This success would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our entire team. We would like to thank all our employees, partners, stakeholders and everyone who has contributed to this success and look forward to making further progress together towards a sustainable future.
