ADHESIVES
SRP® Announces New SRP Edge™ Adhesive
Shat R Proof Corp. has a new adhesive, the SRP Edge. The adhesive has a high viscosity, quality decking and a universal modulus rating for use with vehicles that require a high-modulus adhesive, according to the company. The SRP Edge offers safe drive-away times of as little as three hours at 70 degrees Fahrenheit on vehicles with dual airbags.

“The SRP Edge is a product we are all very excited about,” says Paul Schulte, vice president of Sales for SRP. “It allows us to participate in certain segments of the auto glass market that we haven’t been able to in the past … The other built-in advantage is if you don’t scratch the pinchweld or run into any other complications, you don’t need to use any primer when following SRP’s written comprehensive instructions. It can be used completely primerless in many instances.”

SRP Edge is available in both 310-ml cartridges and 600-ml sausage packs.

The Auto Glass Pavilion at NACE
A number of auto glass-related manufacturers and suppliers are introducing new products at the NACE Show, October 11-13 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Following is an overview of these.

Booth G527: Gain Some Velocity®
The new Velocity windshield repair system from Equalizer is designed to be both robust and flexible, utilizing a remotely operated combination vacuum and pressure pump. This allows allows the technician to alternate between vacuum and pressure cycles while inside the vehicle, so that the repair process can be observed easily.

The system’s stainless steel injector features a “straight-through bore,” allowing the technician to remove the quick-release hose coupler and then press down directly on the break to aid the wicking process of the resin. The bridge also is durable and easy to keep clean and the pump action attachment cup keeps the assembly on the windshield, according to the company.
