Hydrophobic can be defined as “water-repel” and describes the property of water being repelled by the windshield’s surface. Armor All™ Premium and Amor All™ Ultra Flex™ Wiper Blades provide the ultimate in wipe performance, automatically applying “Hydrophobic” properties producing a water beading effect typically found in windshield treatments. This eliminates the need and hassle of a separate application. The Armor All™ Premium and Ultra Flex™ silicone squeegee applies microscopic amounts of silicone with every wipe on your windshield. This causes water to bead and roll right off the windshield with ease. Other wiper companies require you to buy a separate windshield treatment to get this effect. Save your time and money! Improve your safety and wipe quality by upgrading to the Armor All™ Premium or Ultra Flex™ silicone wiper blades today.
Silicone vs. Rubber
Traditional wiper blades are constructed of organic rubber which is carbon based. The structural bonds of carbon are weak and react easily with other chemicals that break these bonds. The carbon in rubber blades reacts with the sun's energy and deteriorates over time, causing the wiper to crack and tear. Further exposure to ozone and driving conditions continues the breakdown process of rubber. Organic rubber is simply not designed to withstand these elements. Organic rubber blades can not endure temperature extremes and they lose their functional qualities outside the temperature range of -40 F to 80 F. For these reasons, manufacturers of organic rubber wiper blades recommend that their customers replace their blades every 6 months.
Unlike organic rubber, silicone is inorganic and inert. Its base formula begins with the Silica rock. Silicone will not break down even after years of exposure to harsh conditions and therefore silicone blades will retain their functional qualities from -100 F to 350 F while offering superior wipe quality! Drivers can rely on the Armor All™ Premium Line of Silicone Blades for reliable wiper performance even after years of use. You might say Armor All™ wiper blades are designed by nature. Silicone is made of natural earth materials, and it naturally resists ozone, UV rays, road grime, automotive fluids, solvents, ice and of course, rain!
Our advanced silicone formula acts as windshield protectant providing the following benefits:
Silicone blades do not stick to frozen windshields. Unlike organic rubber, silicone will not absorb moisture over time causing ice build up in freezing conditions.
Silicone blades are extremely durable. Unlike organic rubber wipers, silicone blades do not dry out, or “set” after long exposure to ozone, UV Rays, ice, snow, heat or cold.
Silicone blades provide superior wipe quality years after organic rubber wipers fail.
Silicone has superior resistance to fuels, oils, acid rain, washer fluid and road grime.
Silicone is naturally resistant to extreme temperatures. It retains its functional qualities from -100F to 350F.
