Safe-drive-away time

With short safe-drive-away times, costs are reduced and customers can put the car in service faster. To achieve windshield retention in the event of a frontal barrier impact, partly cured adhesives must have high initial tensile strength and fracture energy. Additionally, they must also fulfill the original equipment specifications such as good corrosion resistance, antenna suitability and mechanical performance. 

This section focuses on crash-suitable performance and safe-drive-away times for adhesive systems. These issues are significant for the design of mechanical proper-hes which ensures that the vehicle can be used as quickly as possible after repair. 

The main driver for Safe-Drive-Away Time is the speed in which adhesive strength builds up. The Federal Motor Vehicle S afety S tandards (FMVSS) 212/208 regulation specifies that when a vehicle traveling at 48 km per hour crashes, 75% or more of the bond-line must be retained and no more than 50% of the adhesion on...

Finally, tell your children that you do not want them ever to feel trapped in a drug- or alcohol-affected social situation in which they feel they have no escape. As parents, you want them always to have the power to leave when staying poses danger. Therefore, if they are too distant to walk away, do not have a car to drive away, or cannot be safely driven by someone else, make sure that they always carry emergency money for a taxi or other transportation, and that they know they can always call parents for an emergency pickupno questions asked at the time, discussion to follow later, but no punishment given. 

If an employee is found to be physically unable to perform the driving task safely, then the driver will have his or her privileges taken away until a qualified medical official releases that individual to work. An examination will be performed any time a physical change has visibly taken place in an employee.
