Materials you can stake your life on!                           When Phoenix Glass replaces a windshield, we do our best to use the same adhesive the manufacturer did when they built the vehicle and along with industry approved installation procedures.   Betaseal/Essex adhesives are used to install windshields on nearly every domestic vehicle and two thirds of all vehicles manufactured worldwide to help restore a vehicle to its original strength and retain a windshield during a crash.   Not all adhesives have the strength required to allow the vehicle safety systems to perform correctly.   To assure that the windshield is replaced properly it's absolutely imperative that the correct adhesives as well as adhesive primers are used.

Lasts six (6) times longer than other rain repellent glass treatments and lasts for months under normal driving conditions.  How does Aquapel work? PPG's proprietary hydrophobic glass treatment adheres to glass, forming a chemical bond. Increases contact angle of water, causing it to bead and easily shed off glass.  Why is hydrophobic (rain repellent) glass treatment beneficial? In July 1997, The University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute released a report (UMTRI-97-31) that suggests that the use of hydrophobic windshield coatings has the potential to greatly improve driver visual performance in rainy conditions. In a study called "The Influence of Hydrophobic Windshield Coating on Driver Performance" it indicates that hydrophobic coatings can improve an operator's visual acuity by nearly 34 percent over an untreated windshield. Additionally, driver's response time was improved by 25 percent, from four seconds to three seconds. One second in response time represents about 58 feet of travel distance at 40 miles per hour.  How much coverage does it give? One applicator will do one average windshield or two side windows.  How much time does it take to apply?  It applies in minutes to a clean, dry windshield.  Is it safe to handle and apply? The product is designed for professional use only. Follow all safety precautions and read the MSDS before beginning.  How is it different from other rain repellent products? Fluoropolymer vs. silicon wax-based chemistry. Chemical bond actually adheres to glass. Lasts at least six times longer, more durable performance.  Will Aquapel® Glass Treatment remain effective after... ...going through a car wash? ...using a squeegee and blue water cleaner? ...using common ammonia-based cleaners? Yes, yes, yes. Aquapel® Glass Treatment will last. What is Aquapel's® Glass Treatment's effect on windshield repairs?  Treatment will not migrate into a new crack. Current testing by leading windshield repair suppliers on performance over resin repairs offers no concerns.   Aquapel® "Is Not to be used as a substitute for wiper systems." Always use wipers as needed to clean glass and maximize visibility. Aquapel Glass Cleaner Aquapel Windshield washer Fluid Aquapel Anti-Fog Treatment   Our Hours are M - F 8:00 - 5:00
