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 (see test results, by William LaCourse). In addition, Diamon-Fusion® lasts much longer, which creates greater safety by increased durability, and is less affected by the abrasion caused by the windshield wipers.

Just how important is an extra full second of visibility?

Untreated

Pretty Important!

Treated with Diamon-Fusion®process

PREVENT ACCIDENTS: a DF-treated windshield provides additional reaction time when needed: 58 feet in distance when driving at 40 mph. As you can see on the above photograph, this 'saving' in reaction time will save lives and prevent property damages.
