Fixed Windows and Windshields
How Our Marine Sealants Improve Production Efficiency
Our SMP sealants for marine windshields and fixed windows can help you increase output by offering:
- Fast cure time: Our SMP solutions for marine windshields and fixed windows are formulated with fast green strength; this allows them to form strong bonds quickly so that your windshields and fixed windows can be ready for in-field use with minimal delay.
- Primerless adhesion to glass: In addition to SKU reduction opportunities, our SMPs’ primerless adhesion helps you decrease marine production steps, error likelihood and associated downtime.
- Easy tooling: Our marine sealants offer consistency that allows them to be easily toolable so you can create desired sealant bead shape.
How Our Marine Sealants Contribute to High Quality Finished Products
Our SMP sealants for marine windshields and fixed windows meet high performance specifications by offering:
- Ability to reduce premature adhesive degradation: When glass doesn’t have a bonding frit, our marine sealants can be used with Simson Prep G plus; this is a blackout primer we offer that helps reduce degradation when UV exposure is magnified. It is designed to prolong durability in windshields and fixed windows.
- UV stability: Our marine windshield and fixed window sealants maintain bond and seal properties even after extended sun exposure and do not discolor.
- Flexibility: Our SMPs are flexible elastomers that can account for expansion and contraction without breaking or cracking.
