Use of adhesives on windshield
Introduction
• It is important to utilize strong adhesives and sealants to hold windshield glass in place
• One of the most common and dangerous mistakes that people make while replacing a windshield is using the wrong type of adhesive.
Difference between Adhesives and Sealants
• Adhesives are used to bind two different bodies together
• Sealants have chemicals that form a hard and water proof coating that fill gaps and prevent the entry of water
• Urethane is 90 times stronger than silicone
• Unlike urethane, silicone has better prolongation and it gets softened by high temperature & humidity
Difference between Adhesives and Sealants
•In case of an accident or a collision, urethane prevents the windshield from coming off its frame
•For long-term durability, car makers use urethane adhesive to bond the windshield to the frame of the car
•Adhesives are exposed to cold, heat, humidity, rain and salt air for years to verify long-term strength
Tips to keep remember
•During windshield replacement, the right balance between the viscosity and thixotropy of the adhesives should be ensured
• Ensure the urethane adhesives does not leave little trails over the windshield
