Inagas Sparkles With Sparklike

Inagas is now the official distributor in the UK & Ireland for Sparklike – a producer of non-invasive gas testing devices ideal for use in the IGU manufacturing market.

Sparklike has developed a range of non-destructive gas testers. The technology is either laser (TDLAS) or plasma emission spectroscopy (a high voltage spark) to test the concentration of Argon and/or Krypton levels in an IGU.

There are three devices - Sparklike Handheld, for testing double glazed units containing one clear glass panel; and Sparklike Laser Portable and Sparklike Laser Integrated, which allow manufacturers to test double and triple glazed units through coated and laminated glass at varying stages of production without any damage or waste.

As quality control stretches throughout the IGU lifecycle and product liability can last for several years, the mobility of two of the devices means that testing can be delivered onsite at installers or on units that have already been installed.

 

 “Sparklike’s mission is to improve quality and competitiveness in the IGU market, which is perfectly aligned with our own objectives.”

– Chris Kemp 

Director, Inagas

 

Energy efficiency

“With the industry under pressure to deliver lower U-values and better performing window and door products, energy efficiency is a hot topic,” continues Inagas’ Kemp. “The gas content in an IGU makes a significant contribution to the energy performance of a window so, to be able to conduct testing to ensure manufacturing processes are effective, the product quality is good and that IG units are performing as they should, has never been more in demand. 

“Our mission is to support IGU manufacturers to maintain their commitment to quality and performance standards with reliable gas filling and testing equipment, as well as specialist advice and practical solutions for gas filling with Argon, Krypton and Xenon, for any type of spacer bar and sealant combination.

“Demand for non-destructive gas testing solutions is a growing market, as the spotlight on IG construction grows ever brighter. Ingas, together with Sparklike, is in the perfect position to meet this growing demand.”
