Minimum Curing Time

Minimum Curing Time


Special requirements must be fulfilled for replacing bonded windows. This includes that e.g. a newly bonded windshield is safe for vehicle operation also in case of an accident after a specified minimum curing time.

• The minimum curing time for 2K adhesive (DA 004 600 A2) is 3 hours for all windows.

• Curing time means the time from when the window is bonded to when the vehicle is put back into use. During this time, the vehicle must stand on an even surface at room temperature (at least 60 °F (15 °C)).


The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum curing time has elapsed.
