Curing time
Warning!
The special standards must be adhered to when replacing bonded windows. One of these standards for example is, that a freshly bonded windscreen must comply with the safety elements, even in an accident, once the adhesive has exceeded the prescribed curing time.

With the new 2K adhesive DA 004 600 A2 a shorter curing time, as shown in the table, has been attained.
