Article 12: Environment Resistant Insulated Glazing: SuperVIG® VIG —A Case Study of SuperVIG® VIG enciroment resistance in different regions in China

China has one of the world’s most diverse and demanding climates.

Harbin winters can reach -30°C outdoors;

Hainan summers can reach 40°C;

In Turpan, Xinjiang, day-to-night temperature swings exceed 40°C;

During Shanghai’s rainy season, humidity often stays above 90%…

For a building material to perform reliably across China, it must withstand all these extremes.

SuperVIG® VIG is engineered for different climates.

 

  1. Case 1: Extreme Cold in Harbin
    At -30°C outdoors and 20°C indoors, the temperature difference is 50°C.

Conventional windows suffer condensation and frost, lose large amounts of heat, and drive up heating costs.

How SuperVIG® VIG performs:

  • U-value as low as 0.4 W/(m²·K), minimizing heat loss
  • Interior glass surface stays close to room temperature, eliminating condensation
  • Measured energy savings: over 40% during the heating season compared with standard insulating glass

 

  1. Case 2: Heat in Hainan
    Intense solar radiation, high outdoor temperatures, and heavy air-conditioning demand.

How SuperVIG® VIG performs:

  • Works with Low-E coatings to block solar heat effectively
  • Excellent thermal insulation reduces heat transfer from outdoors
  • Lowers air-conditioning load and delivers significant cooling-season energy savings

 

  1. Case 3: Temperature Variation in Xinjiang
    Extreme day-night temperature swings create severe thermal expansion and contraction stress, causing conventional edge seals to crack and fail.
  • How SuperVIG® VIG performs:
    SuperVIG® uses a specially developed edge-sealing system with a thermal expansion coefficient closely matched to glass. It remains stable through repeated temperature cycles without cracking or leaking.
  • After simulated extreme temperature cycling (-40°C to +80°C, more than 500 cycles), performance showed no significant degradation..
  1. Case 4: High Humidity Wet Season in Shanghai
    Prolonged high humidity accelerates sealant aging in standard insulating glass, leading to internal fogging and failure.

How SuperVIG® VIG performs:
The cavity inside vacuum insulating glass is under vacuum, leaving no moisture to cause internal fogging. The edge seal has passed damp-heat aging tests and remains stable under prolonged high-temperature, high-humidity conditions.
