MICHELIN FRAMELESS ALL-WEATHER
WIPER BLADES
Greenville, SC (DEC 2006) The single biggest factor in
vehicle safety is in t the latest technology, air bags, electronics or driver
skill. Dave Peace CEO Pylon Manufacturing, top liaison with Michelin Wiper
Blades design, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution says "Reduced
visibility is a factor in 42 percent of all vehicle crashes and safety research
reveals collision risk usually increases by 50 to 100 percent during
precipitation."
Information from safety experts like Leonard Evans,
Author of Traffic Safety, notes that vision provides motorists over 90% of the
information used to drive.
Dave Frauman, Michelin wiper blade engineering says,
"M-Guard wiper blades is the newest technology available to drivers."
Michelin s expertise in creating a rubber compound that
allows your tires to grip the road in all kinds of weather has inspired the
development of a high performance, frameless all-weather wiper blade with many
innovative features and benefits, including:
Patented M-Guard Advanced Rubber Technology :
M-Guard is a permanent part of the rubber compound not a surface coating
that eventually wears off containing patented PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
technology to help maintain an effective wiping edge and extend blade life by
reducing friction and wear. Rubber blade is molded in one durable piece. Rubber
wiping element is held securely between two high tensile strength steel beams
not glued for maximum durability.
Advanced Frameless Design:
Eliminates the framework, joints and openings of conventional blades that
can clog with snow, ice and debris for clean, powerful wipes and reliable
all-weather performance.
Smooth, quiet operation in all weather conditions.
Built in spoiler converts air flow over vehicle into downward force to help the
blade maintain contact and reduce lift and vibration, especially in windy
weather and at highway speeds.
