Driving through rain poses a double challenge. On top of dealing with slippery roads, you've got to strain to see the road itself. Even the newest windscreen wipers can't always improve visibility and driver comfort. Hydrophobic glass can.

The secret is a special polymer coating applied across the entire glass surface, forming a durable barrier between the water and the windscreen. That not only prevents smearing, but when you travel above 50 kp/h, the water actually slides off the glass, creating superior visibility on motorways.

The result is greater safety on all counts, including a 33% improvement in visual acuity and a 25% increase in driver response time. The no-stick surface even makes it easier to remove ice, dirt, insects and other objects from blocking your view. It's all-season protection that lasts.

• Greater visual acuity. Hydrophobic glass increases visibility by 33% compared to untreated glass, allowing you to see through any type of rainstorm with confidence and comfort. Plus hydrophobic glass improves visibility for the entire glass including areas the wipers can not reach. 
• Improved response time. Drivers looking through hydrophobic glass react to road conditions and hazards 25% faster than drivers behind standard glass. Those precious seconds make all the difference.
• High speed safety. At speeds above 50 kph, water slides straight off the surface of hydrophobic glass, making it easy to see the road even with the wipers turned off.
• Increased wiper life. Hydrophobic glass reduces the need for windscreen wipers under normal conditions, slowing wear and tear on the blades.
• Easier to clean. The surface of hydrophobic glass makes it much easier to remove ice, insects, dirt and grime, helping you to keep the windscreen clear in every season.
• Long lasting protection. Unlike aftermarket solutions, hydrophobic glass penetrates the surface of the glass, which means you never have to re-apply it each month. One annual visit to your glass dealer will keep your polymer coating at full strength.

The protective surface of hydrophobic glass actually changes the shape of water droplets on the windscreen itself. Because the water has less contact with the glass, the droplets become rounder, making it easier for the windscreen wipers or wind to remove them. That prevents smearing and increases visibility even more.

• Any type of glass can be converted to hydrophobic glass
• A simple regeneration kit can restore hydrophobic glass to full strength after a few years of usage
