Manufacture
wiper blades with a reputation for dependable all-weather
performance
Fabricate colorful rubber wiper blades that deliver reliable windshield
wiping performance under challenging climatic conditions.
Compared to organic rubber
materials, Silastic® brand silicone elastomers:
-
Offer better weatherability --
stand up longer to tropical heat, arctic cold, rain, snow, ice, and the sun's
damaging UV rays
-
Maintain their mechanical properties over
a wider range of temperatures, from -50 to 120ºC (-58 to 248ºF) --
temperatures that would defeat organic elastomers
This makes them the ideal material for rubber windscreen wiper blades that
must perform reliably in harsh
climates.
Brighten up your product line
Maximize the appearance of your aftermarket wiper blades with Silastic
silicone elastomers custom compounded in a range of distinctive colors.
Create
stylish wipers that can resist harsh weather

Manufacture wiper blades that:
-
Improve wiper-to-windscreen contact for smoother operation.
-
Maintain their flexibility, resiliency, and ability to transmit mechanical
force at both high and low temperatures.

|
| |
Fabricate wiper blades that:
-
Retain their natural flexibility at low temperatures that would cause
organic elastomers to become brittle.
-
Resist degradation -- the loss of physical property performance -- when
exposed to high windscreen temperatures and UV rays.
