The Influence of the Desiccant on the Result of the Climate Test of the Future European Standard for Insulating Glass

Dr. Horst Thamm

Insulating Glass Units filled with Molecular
Sieve desiccants in beaded form have been
exposed to the climate test procedures of the DIN
Standard and the future European Standard (prEN
1279-2). On the basis of these test results, this
paper discusses the influence of relevant
desiccant parameters like Water Pre-loading,
Water Capacity and Desiccant Filling Amount on
the Moisture Penetration Index of the future
European Standard.
