What kind of adhesive is used for windshield rearview mirrors?
1 Answers
Windshield rearview mirrors can be adhered using sheet metal adhesive or glass adhesive. Introduction to Glass Adhesive: Glass adhesive is a material used for bonding and sealing various types of glass to other substrates. It is mainly divided into two categories: silicone adhesive and polyurethane adhesive (PU). Silicone sealant, also known as glass adhesive, is further classified into acidic and neutral types. Neutral adhesives include stone sealant, mildew-resistant sealant, fireproof sealant, and pipe sealant, among others. Curing Time Information: The curing process of silicone adhesive progresses from the surface inward. Different types of silicone adhesives have varying surface drying and curing times. Therefore, any surface repairs must be done before the adhesive dries (typically within 5-10 minutes for acidic or neutral transparent adhesives, and within 30 minutes for neutral colored adhesives). If masking tape is used to cover an area, it must be removed before the outer layer forms after applying the adhesive.
