U-418 Dow Auto Glass Primerless Urethane for Professional Use

The U-418 Dow Auto Glass Primerless Urethane is an essential product for automotive glass installation, designed specifically for professionals who demand quality and reliability. This kit includes four tubes of Dow / Dupont U418, each containing 10.5oz (310ml), along with two 5504GSA Single Use Application Primer sticks of 10ml. This comprehensive package ensures that you have everything you need for a successful installation.

One of the standout features of the U-418 is its primerless to glass urethane formulation. This means that you can apply it directly to glass surfaces without the need for a separate primer, saving you time and effort. However, for those instances where scratches or bare metal surfaces are present, a primer can be used to ensure a secure bond. This versatility makes it a go-to choice for many automotive glass technicians.

When using the U-418, it is crucial to have the right tools. This product requires a caulk gun with a thrust ratio of 161 or better to properly dispense the urethane. It is important to note that this product does not fit standard silicone caulk guns, so be sure to use wide nozzles for optimal application. The right tools will help you achieve a smooth and effective installation.

The BETASEAL U-418 has been crash tested to meet stringent safety standards, ensuring a minimum drive away time as outlined in the accompanying chart. This feature is particularly important for those in the automotive industry, as it guarantees that the adhesive will perform under real-world conditions. Always consult the fixed glass installation guide for detailed instructions and safety information.

As a professional use product, prior experience with similar adhesives is highly recommended. Improper installation can lead to serious issues such as leaks, air noises, or even injury. Therefore, it is advisable to work with a certified automotive glass technician who understands the nuances of using this product. Their expertise will ensure that the installation is performed correctly and safely.

In summary, the U-418 Dow Auto Glass Primerless Urethane is a top-tier choice for anyone in need of a reliable adhesive for automotive glass. Its primerless application, combined with the necessary tools and professional guidance, makes it an ideal solution for achieving a secure and lasting bond. Whether you are a seasoned technician or just starting out, this product will meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
