REMOVAL TOOLS
Get the Latest Options in Blades
A.N. Designs Inc. of Torrington, Conn., offers its UltraWiz reverse bend blades in three sizes: The 5201-M with ¾-inch cut length, the 5202-M with 1-inch cut length and the 5204-M with 1-½-inches cut length. The reverse bend allows the technician to cut down and away from the glass, opposite action of a normal blade that cuts up and against the glass. This allows for cutting under encapsulations without digging in. The reversed and coated shank edge protects exposed pinchwelds from damage, according to the company.

HANDLING TOOLS
Vertical Handle Vacuum Cups Now Available
Wood’s Powr-Grip of Laurel, Mont., releases the LJ6VH hand-held vacuum cup for removing or installing windshields. The large-volume pump of this hand cup permits attachment on both curved and flat glass surfaces. A rigid, vertical handle provides support for glass positioning, while non-slip grip holds the glass at any angle. To eliminate unexpected pop-off, a red-line indicator on the pump visually warns the user in case of vacuum loss, and a check valve allows re-pumping without the need to re-attach the cup. Lift tabs on the vacuum pad provide quick release, and each cup is supplied with a protective pad cover.

Dow Introduces Environmental Product
Dow Automotive Systems of Auburn Hills, Mich., has developed an environmentally friendly glass coating for transportation applications, including automotive original equipment, commercial vehicles and the aftermarket.

The new material, BETASEAL PhX, is cured by ultraviolet (UV) light and ambient moisture to form a durable coating with strong adhesion to glass and polyurethane adhesives without the use of primers. By utilizing the UV-curable coating, glass can be tempered or annealed with higher throughput, and the coating can be applied post-furnace, eliminating the necessity for ceramic enamel frit.
