Insulated Glass would be a new tier of glass to replace Fusion Glass in ZPM-UV machinery.
Production
Cracked Butane -> Isobutane (g).
This step uses Distillation.
1 Isobutane (g) + 1 Oxygen (g) + 4A Molecular Sieve -> 1 Tert-Butyl Alcohol (aq) + Wet 4A Molecular Sieve
C4H10 (g) + O (g) -> C4H10O (s)
The actual production is as a secondary output from the Halcon Process, for propylene oxide, however this route is more straightforward. While this alcohol is a solid, it makes more sense to be aqueous whenever it is actually used, so the recipe should produce it in liquid form.
1 Tert-Butyl Alcohol -> 1 Isobutylene (g) + 1 Water (l)
C4H10O (aq) -> C4H8 (g) + H2O (l)
This step uses catalytic dehydrogenation, however distillation is fine for gameplay purposes.
1 Isobutylene (g) + Acid -> 1 Polyisobutlene (l)
n C4H8 (g) -> [C4H8]n (l)
Polymerization uses a Bronsted or Lewis acid.
2 Tempered Glass + 1 Polyisobutylene + 100L Argon -> Insulating Glass.
Insulating glass is two pieces of regular glass, sealed with Polyisobutylene, and the area between the glass panes is insulated with either argon or a vacuum.
