BS au 242b:2021 Windscreen Repair Kit UV resistance awareness thread

Windscreen Repair UV shields in preparation for BS au 242b:2021

Compliance to windscreen repair standards means that the resin should be UV protected from the minute it leaves the bottle to the point of final cure. This means no clear unprotected syringes as a basic compliance.


Windscreen repair domes have 25% missing from their side as an access point making them not 100% UV resistant. Solid black UV shields designed to fit around an injector are commonly put in place after the resin has been dispensed (resin exposed during dispensing) and commonly removed mid repair so that damage can be viewed thus exposing the resin to UV at the point of inspection.


Here at GT we have as standard clear UV shields which allow you to dispense resin under the UV shield, work with your injector in a UV safe way under the shield observing without exposing to UV. In addition apply Pit Fill UV safely until you are happy with the outcome and acts as a great shower cover if it starts to rain mid repair.


Unless you are 100% UV resistant from start to finish of the windscreen repair process you need to look at your process and become 100% UV resistant.


Or simply use GT Smart and we will ensure your tools are fit for purpose and compliant to any requirements which may evolve in the future
