Cost analysis of Insulating glass production

Many new glass processing company or the new IGU manufacturers are concerns with the cost of producing insulating glass, this is the first step to consider about IGU.

There are glass, spacer, butyl, molecular sieve, silicone and argon in one piece of IGU. As the machine price, labor cost, glass price, electricity, air and water cost are different due to different countries and area, so we only consider the rest items used in IGU, like: spacer, butyl, molecular sieve, silicone and argon.

Before we calculate the cost, we need to know the price of those items and used quantity in each sqm IGU.

Used quantity of IGU
NameUsed qty in 1 sqm IGu
Aluminum spacer4m
Butyl sealant0.05Kg
Silicone sealant0.25Kg (6mm aluminum spacer)
0.35Kg (9mm aluminum spacer)
Molecular sieve0.1Kg
Corner key4pcs
Argon25L ( 12mm air gap)

Below we just give reference price of the spacer, butyl, silicone, molecular sieve and argon, so final price maybe different for different customer.
