Rain-X announced a new heavy-duty windshield wiper blade for Class 3-8 vehicles. The company said clear visibility can improve reaction time by up to a full second in poor weather and when traveling at 60 mph, a full second can equate to 100 feet, which may be the difference in avoiding an accident.
“In recent surveys, we found that 46 percent of truckers know and trust Rain-X products,” said Harley Johnson, Rain-X Group brand manager. “With the current trust and loyalty truckers have shown us, we are excited to bring the premium quality, durability and visibility that truckers have come to expect from the Rain-X Original Glass Treatment, into a specific application for the heavy-duty trucking sector.”
The new heavy-duty wiper blade is made with a synthetic squeegee that is designed to withstand the elements and to provide a smooth, chatter-free wipe. The company said the wiper blade also has a galvanized steel frame that provides long-lasting durability and protection against corrosion, and is also designed to apply even pressure.
