Bonded glass, safety information

Warning texts


WARNING:
All fixed windows are PUR bonded. PUR adhesive can cause asthma like symptoms. Isocyanate vapor from uncured primer or adhesive can cause allergies in the respiratory tract. Once you have acquired an allergy the quantities required to trigger a reaction are very small The risk remains until the material is cured. Cured PUR adhesive can degrade if subjected to high temperatures and isocyanide compounds can be released when grinding or welding. Ensure that ventilation is good. Use a fresh air mask Never touch the adhesive surface with your fingers Use protective gloves.


NOTE: Securely installed windows are part of the Volvo collision safety concept. Always use original PUR adhesive kits! These are selected and tested by VOLVO. They are the only ones for which VOLVO Car Corporation takes responsibility.
