Abstract
A bonding system for repairing glass and for bonding pieces of glass together comprises an adhesive and a photoinitiator which is activated by light in the white/blue area of the spectrum.
Description
DESCRIPTION
"A GLASS REPAIR PROCESS"
The present invention relates to a bonding system for repairing glass and
for bonding pieces of glass together. It is known to repair chips and cracks in windscreens using ultra violet
(UN) adhesives. Typically, UN adhesives are methacrylic resins which are cured using photoiniators based on benzophenone, α-hyroxyketones, α-amino-ketones or benzildimethyl-ketal which react to the ultraviolet part of the light spectrum, i.e. at a wavelength of approximately 360 nm.
The methacrylic resin is mixed with the photoinitiator and the resulting mix
is applied to the crack or chip in the windscreen. After the mix has been suitably worked into the crack or chip to fill it and to blend in with the glass, a UN light is positioned over the area of the repair to activate the initiator and bring about curing
of the resin.
It will be appreciated that the use of UN light to bring about curing of the
adhesive represents a potential health hazard since careless and prolonged exposure to UN light can cause eye damage and the development skin cancers or
melanomas.
UN adhesives are also used for bonding glass as, for example, is required
in the manufacture of decorative glass inserts in which decoratively shaped
bevelled glass pieces are bonded to a glass substrate.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bonding system for
repairing and bonding glass which obviates or at least substantially mitigates the
health hazard posed by the use of UN adhesives.
According to a first aspect the present invention there is provided a bonding
system for repairing glass and for bonding pieces of glass together comprising an
adhesive and a photoinitiator which is activated by light in the white/blue area of
the spectrum.
It will be understood that by using a photoinitiator which is activated by
light in the white/blue area of the spectrum there is no risk of exposure to potentially hazardous UN light. This is a significant improvement on the conventional UN activated systems where, by virtue of the fact that the consequences of exposure to UN light are not felt immediately, users cannot be
relied upon to always follow good health and safety practices. Preferably, the
photoinitiator is an acyl phosphine oxide such as diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)
phosphine oxide, CAS-no. 75980-60-8, also known by the trade name lucerin TPO.
Preferably, the adhesive is a methacrylic adhesive, such as hydroxyethyl
methacrylate. These contain no glass particles making them optically clear. It is
preferable that the adhesive is flexible so that glass can freely expand and contract
without shattering.
The system of the present invention removes the need to use potentially
dangerous UN adhesives in the windscreen repair industry, the decorative glass
bonding industry and the aircraft canopy repair market. The present invention may
also be used to laminate glass and produce automotive vehicle windscreens.
Moving the cure area of the chemicals into the safe blue/visible area of the
spectrum avoids the problems associated with the use of UN adhesives.
The invention solves the problem of the hazards associated with UN
systems by initiating curing of the adhesives using a photoinitiator which only
absorbs photons in the white/blue light area of the spectrum. This will mean that an operator working with the bonding system of the present invention need have no fear of exposure to potentially dangerous UN light.
Claims
1. A bonding system for repairing glass and for bonding pieces of
glass together comprising an adhesive and a photoinitiator which is activated by
light in the white/blue area of the spectrum.
2. A bonding system according to claim 1 , wherein the photoinitiator
is an acyl phosphine oxide.
3. A bonding system according to claim 2, wherein the initiator is
diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide, CAS-no. 75980-60-8.
4. A bonding system according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the adhesive is a methacrylic adhesive.
5. A bonding system according to claim 4, wherein the adhesive is
hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
6. A method of repairing glass and for bonding pieces of glass together wherein an adhesive is mixed with a photoinitiator which is cured by light in the
white/blue area of the spectrum, the resulting mix is applied to the glass and is then
subjected to light in the white/blue area of the spectrum to activate the initiator and
bring about curing of the adhesive.
