Madico First To Market Invisible Windshield Protection Film

WOBURN, Mass.--Madico, Inc., the industry’s leading provider of glass films for automotive, residential and commercial applications, today announced a new member of its product family: ClearPlex® Invisible Windshield Protection Film®. The scientifically engineered material prevents stones and flying debris from damaging automotive windshields without compromising driver visibility.

Originally developed by its partner ClearPlex Corporation, the new material utilizes Madico’s experience in the safety and security market with its expertise in developing optically clear laminates. Together, Madico and ClearPlex Corporation have developed a revolutionary film that protects a vehicle’s windshield visibly undetectable by the driver.

Paul Panarisi, the marketing manager for Madico, said, “This film is truly a breakthrough for Madico and the automotive safety industry.”

Madico expects early adopters to be businesses that rely on maximum “up time” for their vehicles. According to North American Sales Manager Bob Smar, ClearPlex is designed to reduce service calls for mission critical vehicles. “Businesses and consumers alike depend on rental cars, delivery trucks and transit fleets to be on the road, not in the shop. ClearPlex promises to cut down on one of the most common and time-consuming causes of vehicle disablement: cracked windshields.”

Because ClearPlex protects not only windshields, but also the drivers behind them, Madico subjected the product to many of the same impact and weathering tests it conducts on its SafetyShield® brand. SafetyShield films provide blast protection for high profile government and corporate buildings worldwide, and have reduced human injury resulting from natural disasters and human attack.

Madico is the exclusive North American manufacturer and distributor for ClearPlex. The product is available to select window film dealers and comes with a one year or 12,000 mile warrantee.
