A highly advanced, low-profile beam blade engineered to ensure a smoother, clearer, quieter wipe in extreme winter conditions is now available from Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corp.
New Anco Winter Extreme wiper blades feature several exclusive technologies that help keep ice and snow from adhering to the blade and provide the ultimate in performance and durability.
Available in lengths ranging from 14 to 28 in., the blades feature the “Arctic Armor” hydrophobic spoiler, which helps repel precipitation and prevent ice build-up on the blade surface. Steel-reinforced end caps have been added for exceptional resistance to common damage caused by blade “slam-downs” and other impacts. In addition, the wipers’ new GeoCore honeycomb spoiler design provides lightweight, flexible protection from damage related to ice scrapers and road debris, according to the manufacturer.
The wipers also feature Anco’s patented “Articulated Contact” technology, incorporating a unique spoiler design that reduces wind lift and maintains optimal blade-to-glass contact. This technology, featuring two co-extruded materials, permits unrestricted flexing of the blade for more uniform pressure distribution and improved conformance and contact with the windshield. It also is specially formulated to prevent stiffening of the flexor in cold temperatures, the company said, adding each blade also features the brand’s exclusive DuraKlear Plus rubber compound formulated to deliver a consistent, streak-free wipe.
