Bonded Window, General Safety Information [2016-2018]: Handling
INHALED: Polyurethane (PU) adhesive can cause asthma like symptoms. Isocyanate vapor from primer or PU adhesive can cause allergies in the respiratory tract.
INHALED: Persons having a respiratory allergy may have an allergic reaction when handling polyurethane (PU) adhesive.
Cured polyurethane (PU) adhesive can degrade if subjected to high temperatures. Isocyanide compounds can be released when grinding or welding in close proximity to cured PU adhesive.
All fixed windows are PUR bonded. PUR adhesive can cause asthma-like symptoms. Isocyanate vapors from non-cured primer or adhesive may give rise to allergies in the respiratory tract. Very low levels are required to cause an allergic reaction. Risk still remains until the material is fully cured.
When heated, fully cured PUR adhesives can be broken down and isocyanates are formed, for example, when grinding and welding. Ensure good ventilation. Use a fresh air mask or carbon filter mask. Never touch the adhesive surface with your fingers. Wear gloves.
The windshield is part of the vehicles collision protection. Always use genuine PUR adhesive kits These are selected and tested by VOLVO and are the only ones for which VOLVO Car Company will take responsibility for the result.
