It has been proven by independent
studies that a hydrophobic coating such as Diamon-Fusion®, applied on car
windshields and side glass, improves visibility during rainy conditions over
30%, giving an additional second of reaction time to the driver and improving
response time by 25%, which translates into an invaluable safety feature.
Thus, the increased visibility enables the driver to see and respond to road
hazards quickly. Under snow or severe weather conditions, the very low
coefficient of friction on a DF-treated surface makes the windshield much
easier to clean the snow or crack the ice adhered to the glass, without the
need to use a heavy-duty scraper, creating a time-saving added-value in
addition to the minimal effort involved. Since driving is mostly a visual
activity, the increased visibility factor becomes crucial as a safety feature.
Furthermore, most of the small impacts
that typically hit the windshield during normal driving conditions and that
will typically chip, dent or even crack an untreated windshield, will bounce
right off a DF-treated windshield due to the impact resistance properties that
Diamon-Fusion® provides (click

safety by increased durability, and is less affected by the abrasion caused by
the windshield wipers.
