CUSTOMER SAFETY IS OUR MISSION The windshield is an integral part of a vehicle’s safety system. Its role is to stay in place and keep occupants inside the vehicle in case of an accident. It not only serves as the backboard for the inflating passenger airbag; today’s vehicles are also stiffened by the bonded windshield. It is vital that the windshield stays attached to the car body even in a rollover accident. If a windshield is not installed properly, it can come loose in a collision and separate from the car body flange, causing serious injuries. Reliable and easy to use adhesive systems from...

Having just a short Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT) is not the definition of a safe system!

PowerCure ADHESIVES ARE DIFFERENT! CURED TO OEM LEVEL PowerCure adhesives cure independently of the climate from the inside of the bead. They cure within minutes to the strength level specified by vehicle manufacturers....
