Abstract

A thermoplastic elastomer composition produced from a thermoplastic resin and rubber and having a dispersion phase formed of a rubber composition at least part of which is dynamically crosslinked in the continuous phase of the thermoplastic resin, insulating glass using the thermoplastic elastomer composition as a sealing material and spacer, a process for producing the insulating glass using a sealing material made from the thermoplastic elastomer composition, comprising the steps of inserting the leading end of a charging nozzle into a space between the peripheral portions of a plurality of glass sheets, discharging the sealing material from the leading end of the nozzle body at a predetermined rate, and moving the glass sheets or the nozzle body relative to each other to charge the sealing material made from the thermoplastic elastomer composition into the space between the peripheral portions of the glass sheets, and a nozzle used in this process.
