Autoshield NP-60 is a high-modulus, moisture-curing polyurethane windscreen adhesive for bonded automotive glass, including replacement windscreens and suitable fixed side glass. Its high initial holding strength helps position the glass while a strong but flexible bond develops.
NP-60 is specified for fast professional windscreen replacement. Its published one-hour drive-away performance relates to the stated FMVSS 212 test with dual airbags under specified laboratory and installation conditions. It is not an unconditional one-hour clearance for every vehicle, weather condition or repair: the installer must determine the appropriate safe drive-away time for the completed job.
Where NP-60 fits
-
Replacement windscreens: bonding compatible glass to properly prepared vehicle bodies.
-
Fixed side glazing: bonding suitable stationary automotive glass in specified vehicle assemblies.
-
Aluminium-bodied vehicles: polyurethane glass bonding where the substrate and vehicle repair process permit.
Prepare the correct bond line
For plain glass without a ceramic band, the Autoshield procedure specifies Activator AP1001 followed by GB Primer, dried for the required period. Proper ceramic-band glass may follow a different preparation method. Apply NP-60 as a triangular bead and set the glass before the adhesive skins.
Do not apply below 5°C or in contact with incompatible silicone and hybrid sealants. Lower temperatures extend drying and curing times; the TDS calls for increased preparation times between 5°C and 15°C. Avoid alcohol-based cleaning on existing polyurethane bead material. Follow vehicle glazing specifications, substrate testing and all safety and curing requirements before releasing a vehicle.
