Transportation Fixed Windows and Windshields
How Our Transportation Sealants Improve Production Efficiency
Our SMP sealants for mass transit, specialty vehicle and RV fixed windows and windshields can help you increase output in the following ways:
- Fast driveaway time: Formulated with high initial green strength, our SMP solutions 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 means you can decrease production steps, error likelihood and associated downtime.
- Easy tooling: Our products’ consistency allows them to be easily toolable so you can create desired sealant bead shape.
How Our Transportation Sealants Contribute to High Quality Finished Products
Our SMP sealants meet high performance specifications by offering:
- UV stability: They can maintain bond and seal properties even after extended sun exposure and do not discolor.
- Ability to reduce premature adhesive degradation: When glass doesn’t have a bonding frit, our SMPs can be used with Prep G plus, a blackout primer we offer that helps reduce degradation when UV exposure is magnified and prolongs durability in windshields and fixed windows.
- Flexibility: Our SMPs are flexible elastomers that can account for expansion and contraction without breaking or cracking.
