Windshield and Sealant Materials That Keep You Safe
Automotive windshields are crafted to maximize safety of the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. Unlike traditional glass materials, which could shatter, today's windshields are made of a safety glass. This safety glass is a complex series of tempered materials designed to withstand damage and minimize cracking.
What Windshields are Made
The United States requires windshields to be crafted with laminated glass. It is essentially a plastic layer surrounded by sheets of curved glass on either side. It is much more flexible than regular glass and much less likely to shatter.
There are many benefits to this type of construction. It can prevent shattering. Crash test experts estimate that 70 percent of a vehicle's structural strength comes from the windshield during rollover accidents. The windshield absorbs much of the impact during an airbag deployment. This means that any chips or cracks that go unrepaired might actually diminish the windshield's efficacy as a structural component of the car.

How Windshield Repairs Work
Windshield repair San Diego is about more than just fixing the cosmetic damages. While this certainly plays a role - after all, being able to see out of the windshield is a vital part of driver safety - these repairs restore the vehicle to its original condition and keep the factory seal intact.
Windshield repair is accomplished by filling the damage with a resin that mimics the properties of glass. Not only does this allow for a smooth and light refracting surface, but it also means that the same amount of structural strength is upheld.
The resin used for windshield repair is usually made of acrylic. Using a small vacuum, the air trapped within the crack or chip is removed and replaced with the resin. A curing process follows, in which the resin is allowed to create a molecular and lasting bond with the surrounding glass for virtually undetectable results - either from a visible or structural standpoint.
