Bringing windscreen repair into the 21st century

4 December 2018  

Screen Care Repairs have developed the world’s first NON UV windscreen repair resin. Safe2Bond resins work in exactly the same way as traditional UV curing resin except they cure using 470nm which is the safe part of the light spectrum. Most windscreen repair kits vary little in their basic design and performance. A bridge is required to hold the injector in position over the pre drilled damage to allow resin to be injected, replacing the air inside the break, and then cured using an ultra violet light. Since the 1970s it has become more apparent in all industries that using UV light sources in the workplace is undesirable and alternatives have been sought in most applications. The Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 brought into UK law the Artificial Optical Radiation 2006/25/EC Directive. This imposes legal duties on employers to protect workers who may be at risk from artificial UV light exposure. Even low level UV light sources such as windscreen repair lights should be avoided if possible. The Safe2Bond NON UV resins have been developed in house by Screen Care Repairs based on the success of the company’s NON UV glass bonding adhesives. This eliminates the need for UV windscreen repair light sources.
