In order to provide a spacer profile for an insulated glazing unit, which
profile has a cross-section based on a rectangular shape, is provided
with two parallel spaced side walls which, when said insulated glazing
unit is assembled, will be placed against the panes of glass to be kept
apart from each other, and is further provided with first and second
transverse walls which extend between said side walls and of which the
first will be adjacent to the edge of the glazing unit and the second
will face the space between the panes, with the intention of enabling
simple handling of said profile when assembling the spacer frame whilst
maintaining a high absorptive capacity for water vapor, it is proposed
that said spacer profile comprises a binder matrix and, embedded therein,
a particulate adsorbent material for water vapor, and that the binder
matrix is permeable to water vapor.
