YOKKO Hydrophobic Silicone Wiper Blade For Volkswagen Tiguan 5 seater (2017-Present)

Choosing hydrophobic silicone wipers offers several benefits over traditional wiper blades. Here’s why they are often preferred:

1. Superior Water Repellency

Hydrophobic silicone wipers not only wipe away water but also leave behind a hydrophobic layer on the windshield. This layer repels water, making raindrops bead up and slide off the glass, improving visibility in wet conditions without needing to run the wipers as frequently.

2. Durability and Longevity

Silicone is more durable than traditional rubber wiper blades. Silicone wipers can withstand extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) without cracking, hardening, or degrading, which makes them last longer.

UV resistance: Silicone resists the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can degrade standard rubber blades.

3. Quiet Operation

Due to their smooth texture and flexibility, silicone wipers operate more quietly than rubber wipers. They glide effortlessly over the windshield, reducing friction and eliminating squeaking or chattering noises.

4. Suitable For Hot Weather In Malaysia

Silicone won’t melt or warp, ensuring consistent performance.

5. Easy to Maintain

Silicone wipers are less prone to wear, meaning you won’t need to replace them as often. Additionally, their hydrophobic layer keeps the windshield cleaner for longer, reducing the need for wiper fluid and cleaning.

6. Improved Visibility

By leaving a hydrophobic coating, silicone wipers ensure that rainwater and other moisture bead up and slide off easily, improving visibility even after the wipers have been turned off.

7. Eco-Friendly

Silicone wipers are often seen as more environmentally friendly than rubber wipers because they last longer, meaning fewer wiper blades are discarded over time.

8. Better for High-Speed Driving

At high speeds, the hydrophobic effect becomes more noticeable. The water beads off the windshield quickly, which is especially beneficial for highway driving or in torrential rain, where visibility is critical.
