An insulated glass unit comprising two panes of glass and a sealant strip disposed around the periphery of the two panes in order to form a sealed space. The sealant strip is an isobutylene copolymer grafted with an organo-silane and includes 15-50 weight percent tackifier. The sealant strip is self splicing and is preferably sufficiently compression resistant so that additional compression resistant inserts or reinforcements are unnecessary. |
