Windscreen Adhesives for the Automotive Repair Market

Safe and secure windscreen replacements with TEROSON BOND.

Common Failures

Drivers and their passengers are your life line. And when they pull away after a repair, there‘s no such thing as too safe. Make sure you avoid the common pitfalls in both application and product selection, to ensure the windscreen can fulfil its safety function.

#1: Sagged Windscreens fail.

Sagged windscreens can impair the safety function of the windscreen and may cause costly water leaks.

#2: Leaking Windscreens cost twice.

Leaking windscreens double costs because 1. you need to replace the windscreen to repair the leak, and 2. the leak may have caused unforeseen electronic malfunctions, resulting in further costly repairs.

#3: Stringing adhesives are messy.

The stringier the adhesive, the messier the application and the higher the risk of contamination of the interior.

What they all have in common: The designation now clearly refers to their respective SDAT, e.g. the former TEROSON PU 8597 HMLC is now simply called TEROSON BOND 60, which indicates a 60 min. SDAT. etc.

Frequently Asked Questions.

First entirely clean all dirt and grime from the new windscreen using a glass cleaner such as our TEROSON BOND Glass Cleaner, which is water-based and allows an easy, thorough and solvent-free cleaning. Afterwards abrade the bondline, to roughen the surface for best adhesion. Then apply Glass Cleaner again and dry off the bondline in one direction using a lint-free cloth. Now, you are ready for the next steps.

No, they are not. They may reduce the adhesion strength and are thus unsuitable for substrate pre-treatment. You should always use cleaners and pre-treatments that work with the adhesive system you use. For our TEROSON BOND line you may use either TEROSON BOND Glass Cleaner (water-based) or TEROSON VR 10 (solvent-based).

If the bead was trimmed more than 2 hours ago, it must be cleaned with TEROSON VR10. Afterwards the solvent has to evaporate for at least 10 minutes before applying the primer, e.g. TEROSON BOND All-in-One Primer.
Caution: This only applies if the old bead is made of glass-compatible polyurethane and sits firmly on the substrate. Otherwise, all traces of adhesive have to be removed and a new adhesive bead has to be applied.
