FastCure™
Fast-CuringAdhesive
FastCure™ – Two-component adhesive designed to optimize the bonding of windshield components
Agile and cost-effective component bonding
FastCure™ is a two-component, fast-curing adhesive specifically developed to accelerate the bonding of plastic components such as camera brackets and rearview mirror mounts. Its advanced adhesion technology streamlines the process by eliminating the need for primers or glass preheating. When using plastic parts pre-coated with our Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoter, no additional primer is required. FastCure™ makes windshield component bonding easier and more reliable.
- No priming required for glass
- Rapid activation at ambient temperature
- Fast windshield handling after bonding
Optimized Bonding for Windshield Parts
FastCure™ quick-curing adhesive simplifies the process of bonding plastic components to windshield glass, helping glass manufacturers save both time and costs. Activation takes just seconds, and no primer is needed when parts are pre-treated with our Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoter range. The formula can be adapted to meet each manufacturer’s specific needs, ensuring optimal performance. This system enables windshield handling in record time after bonding.
Why Choose FastCure™
Discover the key benefits of FastCure™, including its fast-curing properties and optimized bonding process
Reduced Primer Use
FastCure™ was developed to significantly reduce the need for toxic primers commonly used in the automotive industry. Plastic components pre-coated with our Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoter can be stored for up to 12 months and bonded without any additional primer. On the glass side, no primer is required, as the formulation is specifically designed to work without these chemicals.
Fast Windshield Handling
The bonded plastic part achieves sufficient strength to handle the windshield with just a few seconds of light pressure. This ensures a secure and reliable bond, enabling the transportation of windshields without the need for long conveyors or temporary curing areas. FastCure™ reaches its full properties within a few hours.
Simplified Bonding Process
FastCure™ eliminates the need for toxic and costly primers, streamlining the bonding process with just a few seconds for adhesive activation before attaching the part to the glass. Unlike standard fast-curing adhesives, it requires no additional heat or glass preheating, simplifying the design and enhancing energy efficiency.
How fast is the curing process of FastCure™?
FastCure™ needs just a few seconds of preactivation before bonding the part to the windshield. After a short gel period, the bond is strong enough to handle the windshield safely. Additional properties continue to develop within minutes, while full performance is reached after a few hours. This ensures fast, reliable handling right after line exit, while still meeting the long-term strength required in real-world conditions. Curing times can also be adjusted to fit your specific production needs — for precise data, please contact us.
Can FastCure™ formula be adapted to meet customer needs?
Yes, the FastCure formula can be customized to meet the specific needs of our customers. We can adjust both the curing time and gel time to optimize the adhesive for each unique application. This flexibility ensures that the adhesive performs perfectly within the customer’s bonding process, allowing them to streamline production and achieve the best possible results. Additionally, our engineering team can provide support in the adhesive dispensing process, equipment setup, and other aspects of application to ensure seamless integration and efficiency.
Does this solution need primer on the plastic part?
Thanks to our advanced Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoter technology (OPL21 / OPM11), parts can be pre-coated up to 12 months in advance, eliminating the need for additional priming when bonding with FastCure™. If Ori-Polar™ is not used, a primer will still be required. In addition, Ori-Polar™ is non-toxic, unlike most primers which can be highly toxic.
Does windshield glass need primer or preheating?
FastCure™ forms a strong bond with glass without the need for a primer, setting it apart from thermal fast-curing adhesives. Additionally, it doesn’t necessitate preheating the windshield. This streamlined approach simplifies the bonding process, resulting in considerable time and energy savings
When are the windshields ready to be handled?
The bond is strong enough for handling just a few seconds after the parts are bonded, allowing for immediate handling and transportation. Final properties are achieved in the following hours.
