Autoshield GB Autoglass Primer is a black automotive glazing primer used to prepare compatible glass and vehicle bond surfaces for polyurethane windscreen adhesive. Its opaque film helps shield exposed polyurethane bond lines from UV and is used in suitable pinchweld repair details.
Choose GB Primer when the glazing system specifically requires a black primer or UV blockout layer. It is distinct from Autoshield Activator, a clear surface-treatment wipe. Neither product replaces the adhesive itself or a complete approved windscreen replacement procedure.
Typical uses
-
Plain-glass windscreen bonding: providing the specified black bond-line preparation where the glass lacks a suitable ceramic band.
-
Pinchweld repair details: treating appropriate scratches or chips in the prepared vehicle bond area, subject to the vehicle repair procedure.
-
Polyurethane autoglass systems: promoting adhesion at compatible glazing interfaces after the designated cleaning and activation steps.
Application and compatibility
Work on clean, dry, grease-free substrates and apply a thin, continuous film with a suitable applicator. Follow the adhesive system's exact flash-off and overcoating requirements. With Autoshield NP-60, the associated installation instructions specify a 15–60 minute primer drying window, with additional allowance in colder conditions.
This is a solvent-containing professional glazing preparation product. Avoid incompatible plastics and uncured films; keep the container sealed and use appropriate ventilation and PPE. Vehicle glazing performance and safe drive-away depend on the entire approved system and installation conditions.
