ANCO, known as “The Clearest Choice in Wiper Blades,” has introduced an advanced low-profile beam blade engineered to ensure a smoother, clearer, quieter wipe in extreme winter conditions. 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, the company says. ANCO Wipers are manufactured and marketed by Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corp.
Available in lengths ranging from 14 to 28 inches, ANCO Winter Extreme blades incorporate several innovative design enhancements to maximize performance and durability in harsh winter conditions. Each blade’s exclusive Arctic Armor hydrophobic spoiler helps repel precipitation and prevent ice build-up on the blade surface, the company says. 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 Federal-Mogul.
In addition to these unique technologies specific to adverse weather conditions, ANCO Winter Extreme wipers feature the brand’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, according to Federal-Mogul. The company says it also is specially formulated to prevent stiffening of the flexor in cold temperatures. Each Winter Extreme blade also features the brand’s exclusive DuraKlear Plus rubber compound formulated to deliver a consistent, streak-free wipe.
“The recent shift toward more extreme winters in the Midwest, Northeast and across Canada has created the need for a high-performing, winter-specific beam blade, and ANCO Winter Extreme wipers address this rapidly emerging market opportunity,” said Brian Norko, global director of product management, wipers, Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “Our engineering team has done an outstanding job in developing innovative features that help provide the smoother, clearer, quieter wipe and long-lasting performance many vehicle owners are now looking for.”
