The invention relates to a multi-pane insulated glass (10), including at least two panes (15, 16), between which an edge seal (13) is inserted. The edge seal (13) has a peripheral spacer (14). The edge seal (13) separates a pane intermediate space (11) from a pane exterior space (12). A primary sealant (17) is provided between the peripheral spacer (14) and the panes (15, 16). The primary sealant seals the pane intermediate space (11) from the pane exterior space (12). An elastic seal (19) is provided which, seen from the pane intermediate space (11), is located in front of the primary sealant (17). The elastic seal provides sealing between the spacer (14) and a pane (15, 16).

A device for delivering a sealant material includes a first nozzle having a first nozzle head and a second nozzle having a second nozzle head. The first and second nozzle heads each independently have an outlet, an inlet opposite the outlet, and an open channel that extends through a body of the nozzle heads from the inlet to the outlet. The first nozzle is spaced apart from the second nozzle to form a space between the nozzle heads to allow a component to enter a first side of the device and exit a second side of the device while passing by the first and second nozzle heads. A notch is formed through the body of each of the first and second nozzle heads at a side where the component exits the device to distribute a sealant material onto each side of the component.
