A flexible spacer for an insulated translucent panel assembly. The flexible spacer includes a flexible thermoset extrudate formed from a two component flowable polymeric formulation and being a flowable mixture. One component carries a desiccant powder, and the other component is a catalyst for curing the extrudate. The flowable mixture is directly cast on to a vapor barrier web. The vapor barrier web includes a length and a width, the length being greater than the width. The vapor barrier web includes a corrugated sheet of material having a plurality of corrugations oriented generally orthogonal to the length of the vapor barrier web.

Embodiments include a window assembly that includes a first sheet of a translucent, transparent or semi-transparent material; a second sheet of a translucent, transparent or semi-transparent material; a spacer extending from the first sheet to the second sheet and includes at least a first elongated strip having a first surface and wherein the spacer defines a muntin opening in the first surface of the first strip; and a muntin bar having a first end that is positioned within the muntin opening of the spacer. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A spacer for an insulated glazing unit (IGU) is provided herein, along with an IGU and methods of making the spacer and IGU. The spacer imparts high thermal insulation to the IGU. Also provided are methods of preparing an insulating glazing unit, as well as methods of preparing a spacer for an IGU.

This invention provides a sealing spacer for spacing apart two window panes to form a window assembly. The spacer has an elongated, flexible strip having opposed edge surfaces and opposed side surfaces. The spacer also has a fiber reinforced polymer layer over the elongated, flexible strip. The opposed edge surfaces undulate with crests and troughs. The spacer has an activatable sealant for directly sealingly securing the flexible strip to each of the two window panes. The activatable sealant is on each of the opposed side surfaces of the fiber reinforced polymer. The invention also provides methods for making the spacer and window assembly.
