Rain-X
Rain-X has revolutionized the way we drive, especially through the worst weather conditions. Over the years, it has prevented thousands of road accidents by providing exceptional windshield visibility.
Originally marketed as the “invisible windshield wiper,” Rain-X does a much more efficient job than your car’s wipers alone can. The innovative water-repelling technology has paved way for safer driving visibility.
First released in 1972 by Unelko, Rain-X was created to solve the problem of reduced visibility when driving through rain, snow, and sleet. It was later produced by SOPUS Products, under the watch of Royal Dutch Shell. Nowadays, Ecolab produces the Rain-X products for industrial purposes.
Rain-X uses an advanced water-repelling technology. Every time water hits the windshield, it forms into beads and automatically rolls off the surface. Its secret lies in the chemical composition polysiloxanates. Polysiloxanates or commonly known as silicones cause water molecules to bind to one another instead of the glass. As the drops of water gather together, gravity takes over, causing the water to slide off your windshield and off your car.
With this patented water-repelling technology, Rain-X has made a name in the automotive industry and thus extending their commercial success into other industrial applications. Nowadays, a majority of carwash operators use Rain-X in their business, a testament of the products reputation.
Over the years, Rain-X has expanded their product line, creating additional products to make it easier for car owners to maintain clean, clear glass - inside and out:
