WINDSHIELD CRACK REPAIR LAB TESTS

ULTRA BOND WINDSHIELD REPAIR RESIN REMAINS ADHERED TO GLASS IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 205 IMPACT AND PENETRATION TESTS

In the United States new windshields must pass a series of federal tests to ensure safety functions of windshields. Two of these tests mimics an objecting impacting the outside of the windshield and another mimics a person hitting the windshield as in a head-on crash. To pass these tests the windshield cannot be penetrated. In theses tests Ultra Bond long...

WINDSHIELD CRACK REPAIR RESIN STRONGER THAN NEW GLASS

These are the tests required by the Auto Glass Industry's ANSI Standard called the Repair Of Laminated Auto Glass Standard (ROLAGS). One test requires long crack repairs to have the same clarity required of a new windshield. Another requires the repair to not fail or lose its bond to the PVB after thermal cycling wherein the repaired windshield glass is placed in a freezer, removed and hit with a heat gun at the same temperature of car defrosters. Another test is the mechanical strength test wherein the long crack repair is compared to the strength of new laminated / windshield glass before and after accelerated exposure of heat, sunlight and moisture. This tests both strength and strength retention as nothing gets more exposure to the elements than a windshield. Ultra Bond passed all of these tests and the long crack repair was unbreakable. It was also 152% of new windshield strength, meaning a windshield repaired by Ultra Bond is stronger than a new windshield.
