Front and Center – But Often Overlooked
The first windshield wipers were operated manually using a lever inside the car. Today, consumers take their electric windshield wipers for granted. However, they are actually complex integrated systems that contribute greatly to vehicle safety. And the demands on windshield wiper systems continue to increase as vehicle styling brings larger windshields, and vehicle noise reduction creates the expectation of quieter rides.
DuPont innovations and materials are found throughout these highly integrated systems, from motors and switches to linkages, arms and buckets. We help our customers meet increasing performance requirements while reducing the number of components and manufacturing complexity to meet cost targets.
