Car windshield & glass sealants

Window and headlight sealants are special products, designed to fasten automotive glasses and lights, and waterproof the joints. They are used not only during parts installation, but during their restoration as well. They protect lighting units from aggressive environmental conditions. The sealants prevent ingress of moisture and dirt into car interior.

What are the types of window and headlight sealants

By consistency there are:

• Liquid. They are completely ready for use. There is no need to dilute them with special compounds, as hardening occurs when they are exposed to moisture in the air
• Paste-like. To start the hardening process they should be mixed with a special activator, which is included in a kit

By active substance there are:

• Silicone sealants. They belong to multi-purpose mixtures. They can be used in many car units. They are suitable for removing small cracks.
• Polyurethane sealants. These are used when joints need to be elastic and shear-resistant. Using them for dismountable elements is not recommended

Features of usage and selecting the best window and headlight sealants

1. Before applying the compound on the treated surface, always remove remains of the old product, and then degrease it.
2. If necessary, for instance, when installing the windscreen or rear window, a primer should be applied on the connection seams.
3. Depending on the location of the treated unit, and materials to be bonded, the product application procedure may vary. That is why you need to read the instruction carefully and follow its recommendations.
4. When working, take care to maintain the temperature and humidity corresponding to the requirements of the car chemical product manufacturer. Joints may become less durable otherwise
