PIAA's New Graphite Wipers Join Silicone Wiper Blade Technology

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 21 -- PIAA Corporation, a world leader in performance aftermarket products, continues to redefine and advance wiper blade technology with the introduction of its new Super Graphite Wipers, announced PIAA Wiper Division Manager Ian Mackenzie. PIAA's Super Graphite Wipers feature a proprietary graphite bonding process for improved durability, smoothness, and noise-free operation.

The heart of the new PIAA Super Graphite Wipers is the exclusive molybdenum graphite bonding agent that maintains the graphite's effectiveness throughout the life of the blade. A Super Graphite Wiper easily out-performs standard natural rubber blades. Movement across the windshield is quiet, chatter-free and without the streaking that can impair visibility. The wiper frame itself features a powdercoat finish over zinc plating to prevent rusting.

"We believe that our new Super Graphite and PIAA Super Silicone blades introduced two years ago have fundamentally changed wiper technology, the first real breakthrough since 1913," explained Mackenzie. "PIAA wipers offer unsurpassed performance, durability, and innovation -- the same qualities that all PIAA products are known for."

The Super Graphite Wiper offers a rare combination of high quality, performance and moderate pricing. They are available from 12-inch to 24-inch sizes, in both pin and hook style, and every wiper comes packaged with installation instructions and adapters for fast, easy installation.

Two years ago, PIAA introduced its Super Silicone Wiper, its top-of-the-line blade featuring an activated silicone-coating, which not only sweeps away water with a smooth, quiet action, but also continues to apply a silicone coating to the windshield, maintaining blade performance for the life of the wiper.

PIAA also offers the Super Sporza Silicone Wiper, which features the same silicone blade technology with an added aerodynamic spoiler that reduces lift at high speeds

PIAA has been an acknowledged leader in innovative automotive products since its founding in Japan in 1963. PIAA products, created in PIAA's Technical Design Center in Japan, are known for their visionary design, inspired engineering, and quality construction.
