Technical Overview
Autoshield NP60 is a moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive that forms a high modulus and flexible bond. Its primer-less formulation simplifies application, while its fast cure time allows for a 1-hour drive-away. This adhesive is designed to provide strong and durable bonding for automotive glass applications.
Physical Properties: The product exhibits high shear resistance and elongation at break, ensuring a strong and flexible bond. It passes crash tests according to FMVSS 212 standards, demonstrating its safety and reliability.
Application Temperature Range: 5°C to 35°C. This range allows for use in various Australian climates, ensuring the product can be applied effectively in most conditions. For example, in colder areas, ensure the windscreen and vehicle body are within this temperature range before application. In hotter climates, avoid application in direct sunlight.
Application Information
- Required Tools: Caulking gun, cutting tools for removing old adhesive, cleaning cloths, applicator pads (if using primer/activator).
- Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure the glass and vehicle frame are thoroughly cleaned and free of debris before applying the adhesive. Follow the recommended bead profile for optimal bonding.
- Common Issues and Solutions: If the adhesive skins over too quickly, work faster or apply in cooler conditions. If adhesion is poor, ensure surfaces are properly cleaned and prepared.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Shelf Life Information: Refer to the product packaging for specific shelf life information.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing at temperatures outside the recommended range to prevent product degradation.
