Catch the Blue Wave™
Glass Technology has developed an advanced Blue Wave™  high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) curing system. The Blue Wave system ensures proper cross linking and cross hatching, resulting in a strong cure and bond, according to the company. The high-intensity light-emitting diodes are positioned to surround the damage that is being repaired completely, producing the correct UV wavelength needed to cause resin molecule stimulation and curing.

The system was developed so that the technician can maintain complete physical and visual contact with the repair area, according to the company; likewise, it provides the technician with control as to when to cure the repair without removing the injector and exposing the repair to air. Since the Blue Wave is integrated with the injector and bridge, removal is not required during the curing process. The injector can be used during the curing process to produce pressure to hold the resin into the repair while it is being cured, the company notes.

The Blue Wave curing system requires no external power source and is completely portable. According to Glass Technology, it will cure up to 15,000 repairs before UV light maintenance is needed.

QuikSilver Technology™ Added to AEGIS® Systems
AEGIS Tools International has developed a new, patented QuikSilver Technology™, which uses a dry vacuum to remove moisture and debris from a break. The company has added this technology to all of its windshield repair systems. The AEGIS dry vacuum system utilizes a gauged pump so the technician can verify that an adequate vacuum is achieved. When the injector is lowered into position there is no opportunity for air to re-enter the break, so it fills quickly and completely with repair resin, according to the company.
