Speed Installations by Eliminating Priming Step U-428 Plus and U-838 adhesives are one-component, conventional-cure adhesives. They eliminate steps and speed installations by incorporating glass primer into the urethane. They are primerless to glass and require only BETAPRIME™ 5404A primer if the metal is scratched during glass removal, or when bonding to encapsulations or pre-applied adhesive systems (PAAS). Both products provide improved decking, even in hot weather. Conventional-cure adhesives like U-428 Plus and U-838 adhesives rely on temperature, humidity and time to cure. The water in the air causes a chemical reaction in the adhesive. The adhesive bead cures from the outside to the center as the moisture diffuses into the adhesive. The curing bonds the adhesive to the substrates and existing bead of urethane adhesive.

1. Wear appropriate safety equipment a) Protect yourself b) Wear safety equipment, such as work gloves, nitrile chemical resistant gloves, safety glasses, work apron or other protection required by your company 2. Inspect replacement glass a) Use BETACLEAN™ GC-800 Glass Cleaner and a clean, lint-free paper towel to clean the bonding surface of the glass b) Inspect replacement glass for defects c) Verify all primers and adhesives are within use-by dates 3. Cut out the glass a) Protect the customer’s vehicle b) Remove all hardware and reveal moldings c) Cut out the windshield or body glass using your preferred method d) Clean any dirt and debris from around the existing urethane 4. Prepare the glass a) Use BETACLEAN GC-800 Glass Cleaner and clean, lint-free paper towel to clean the bonding surface of the glass Note: If bonding to glass close to encapsulation, “wet scrub” the glass bonding surface
b) If contamination is present, “wet scrub” the bonding surface with an abrasive pad and BETACLEAN GC-800 cleaner, then apply a second application of BETACLEAN GC-800 cleaner and remove with a lint-free paper towel 4.1. Prime glass surfaces
Note: If using primerless-to-glass adhesive and fritted glass, skip this step and proceed to step 4.2
a) Shake BETAPRIME™ 5500 1-Step Glass/Frit Primer for at least one (1) minute before application b) Open BETAPRIME 5500 bottle carefully and insert a clean, unused dauber; to avoid spilling, never pour liquid on dauber c) If using single application BETAPRIME 5500SA, activate according to the directions d) Apply BETAPRIME 5500 along the bond line e) Replace inner seal and cap on bottle immediately f) Allow a minimum of six (6) minutes for primer to dry down to 40° F (4.4° C) g) Apply the reveal molding or original molding to the glass, if necessary 4.2. Prepare encapsulation or PAAS a) Clean encapsulation or PAAS bead with BETACLEAN GC-800 Glass Cleaner and a clean, lint-free paper towel b) “Wet scrub” the encapsulation with an abrasive pad, then clean again with BETACLEAN GC-800 cleaner and allow to dry completely Note: Skip this step if bonding to PAAS
c) Shake BETAPRIME 5404A Pinchweld and Encapsulation Primer for at least one (1) minute to ensure contents are thoroughly mixed d) Apply BETAPRIME 5404A primer to the encapsulation or PAAS surface with dauber e) Apply BETAPRIME 5404A primer to any molding surface that contacts new urethane to promote adhesion f) Replace inner seal and cap on bottle immediately g) Allow a minimum of six (6) minutes for the primer to dry down to 20° F (-6.6° C) 5. Trim back the urethane a) Trim the urethane, leaving a 1-mm to 2-mm base of original equipment urethane on the pinchweld b) Take care not to damage the vehicle paint or pinchweld
