CEKAL certification for Fenzi Group Butylver TPS technology

April 2025

 

Butylver TPS, Fenzi Group’s advanced thermoplastic spacer for Insulating Glass Units, has officially obtained CEKAL certification.

This achievement underscores the Fenzi Group’s commitment to delivering high-performance solutions that meet the stringent quality, durability, and energy efficiency standards required by the market.

 

The CEKAL certification is an additional ratification of the exceptional reliability of Fenzi Butylver TPS, an excellent product that has been on the market since 2014.

 

By meeting CEKAL’s stringent standards, Butylver TPS has demonstrated outstanding performance in:

 

• - Moisture & Gas tightness, extremely low gas leakage rate and moisture penetration index;
• - Adhesion to Glass and Secondary sealants, strong, very fast bonding to ensure excellent stability and easy handling;
• - Thermal insulation, the Best PSI value for a thermoplastic spacer, contributing to energy-efficient IGUs;
• - Longevity and durability, ensuring long-term performance reliability in diverse and extreme climatic conditions.

 

What Steps are Required to Achieve CEKAL Certification?

 

Obtaining CEKAL certification is a structured process that requires companies to demonstrate compliance with strict performance and quality standards.

 

The key steps include:

 

• - Application Submission. Companies must provide detailed product specifications.
• - Laboratory Testing. Independent CEKAL-accredited laboratories conduct extensive tests on the product to assess gas tightness, mechanical strength, durability, and thermal performance.
• - Factory Audits. CEKAL inspectors evaluate the manufacturing processes to ensure consistency, quality control, and compliance with certification standards.
• - Compliance Review. The test results and factory audit reports are reviewed by CEKAL’s technical committee to verify adherence to required norms.
• - Certification Issuance. Upon successful completion of all evaluations, CEKAL grants the certification, allowing the product to be marketed with the CEKAL mark.
• - Continuing Audits. Certified products are subject to periodic audits and retesting to ensure continued compliance with CEKAL standards.

 

By completing these steps and achieving CEKAL certification, the Fenzi Group authenticates its high quality assurance that IG manufacturers and end users can trust. This certification strengthens the Fenzi Group’s product positioning in the market and ensures compliance with key architectural and construction standards.

Butylver TPS, a Proven and Reliable Solution for the Present and the Future of IG units!

 

As a thermoplastic spacer, Butylver TPS delivers a high-precision, automated application that enhances production efficiency while ensuring outstanding thermal performance and moisture resistance. The absence of metal in the spacer minimizes thermal bridging, contributing to superior U-values in modern glazing solutions.

 

With the CEKAL certification, Butylver TPS further solidifies its position as a reliable, high-performance choice for IG manufacturers.

The Fenzi Group remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of glass insulating technology. This certification marks another step in the Fenzi Group’s journey toward delivering state-of-the-art solutions for the evolving needs of the construction and glazing industries.
