What are Penetrator and Finisher?
Penetrator and Finisher are two complementary UV-curable resins developed for professional windscreen and windshield repair.
Penetrator is the lower-viscosity system intended to flow into and penetrate the damaged area, including fine cracks and the interconnected spaces within a stone impact.
Finisher is a higher-viscosity pit-filling resin intended for the final optical and surface restoration stage of the repair.
The two products are therefore designed to perform different functions rather than being simply different grades of the same resin.
Why is refractive index important in windshield repair resin?
Automotive glass is optically transparent, so the refractive index of the cured repair resin is al to the completed repair.
A resin whose refractive index is matched to the Windshield’s glass eliminates optical contrast between the resin and the surrounding glass. This helps minimise the visibility of the repaired damage once the resin has cured.
Optical clarity therefore depends on more than simply having a transparent resin.
Why are different viscosities useful in windshield repair?
Damage within a windscreen is not uniform. Fine cracks and narrow fracture paths require a resin capable of penetrating relatively small spaces, while the final pit-size may require a more viscous material .
Penetrator and Finisher have therefore been developed around these different requirements.
Can these resins be cured with conventional UV lampsas well as LED?
Yes.
Penetrator and Finisher resins are available for curing with conventional fluorescent UV lamps.
They are also available in a dual-cure version developed to accommodate traditional Lamps but specifically for modern 365 nm LED curing systems.
Will the cured resin yellow over time?
Long-term optical stability is an important requirement for a windshield repair resin.
Penetrator and Finisher have been developed with non-yellowing performance as a key formulation requirement. The intention is not merely to produce a clear repair immediately after curing, but to maintain optical clarity over time.
Does the resin have good adhesion in different weather conditions?
Yes. The resin are formulated for durable adhesion under the environmental conditions encountered by automotive glazing.
This includes exposure to changes in temperature, moisture and outdoor conditions.
Is uncured windshield repair resin safe to handle?
As with other reactive resin systems, uncured material should be handled using appropriate industrial hygiene practices.
Avoid unnecessary skin and eye contact, use suitable gloves and eye protection, and clean accidental contamination promptly. Technicians should follow the product’s current Safety Data Sheet and applicable workplace requirements.
How should the resins be stored?
Store the product in its original container and protect it from unintended exposure to curing light and excessive heat.
Good storage practice is important because premature exposure to UV radiation can initiate polymerisation and adversely affect the product’s usable life.
