Overview

Optimax® UV windscreen repair adhesives are precision-formulated resins for repairing chips, cracks, and impact damage in automotive glass. They restore structural integrity to the damaged area while maintaining the optical clarity that is essential for driver safety and regulatory compliance. Unlike full windscreen replacement, resin injection repair is faster, more cost-effective, and avoids the disposal and logistics implications of full glass replacement.

Rapid UV curing allows repair centres to complete a repair in minutes, with the cured resin developing translucency that closely matches the surrounding glass. Optimax® adhesives are trusted by automotive repair centres, OEM assembly lines, and fleet maintenance operators across the UK, Ireland, and the EU.

Process Notes

Proper surface preparation and injection technique are critical to repair quality. The damaged area should be clean and dry before resin injection. Specialised UV lamps are recommended to ensure complete cure and optimal bond strength — generic UV sources may not deliver the correct wavelength or intensity for full polymerisation. Novachem can advise on compatible curing equipment.
