The Core of KIMBLADE Wipers: Rectangular Blades










Mercedes Benz - C117 CLA 


The wiper’s main function is to help secure the driver’s view by wiping away any rain or snow from the windshield. It is an essential item for drivers and comes in many different frames. Some examples include flat/beam, hybrid, conventional, etc.

We get a lot of questions like these:

Does the wiper’s performance depend on the frame?


Our answer is always the same:

Not always.


Most people think that the performance varies depending on the wiper’s frame. It is true to some degree. However, the core of the wiper is the blade. As long as the blade stays in an inverted triangle, the difference in performance between frames is hardly noticeable.






The core of the wiper, the blade, determines the performance.

Kimblade has revolutionized the unchanged wiper with a unique rectangular shape. From the change from an inverted triangle → to a rectangular blade. It was the moment when Kimblade rewrote wiper history. 






Have a look at the installed wiper above. You can see that every wiper blade not from Kimblade is an inverted triangle. This inverted triangular shape is the same for a flat/beam, hybrid, basic, etc. frame.






Why is the shape so important?

The rectangular shape allows for a 4-section chain-linkage system, and the structure allows for flexible change to surround the windshield’s curvature. There's also a major difference in cleaning power.

Have a look at the image above. The rubber blade's edge lies on top of the windshield surface. While more surface area is covered with the rubber blade, the force is then distributed to all parts in contact with the windshield. The rubber blade cleans a larger area but with less power. The foreign substances on top of your windshield get a light sweep at best.

Now have a look at the silicone wiper on the left. The wiper maintains itself at a sharp 45-degree angle, catching all the dirt and water on the glass. 





 

Why silicone? 

We created this groundbreaking rectangular shape from silicone. Silicone, being more expensive than rubber, has many advantages. It feels luxurious, is high-quality, and comes in various colors. It is already a well-known, widely used material in tableware.

Along with those outside qualities, for your wiper, silicone is much more resistant to environmental changes than rubber, is strong against corrosion, and has water-repellent properties embedded in the blade. It's embedded with a water-repellent coat on the wiper, so it automatically coats your windshield with a water-repellent coat during operation.





· Left) Inverted Triangle Rubber wiper: Removes the water-repellent coat during operation

· Right) Kimblade Wiper: Continuous water-repellent coating applied during operation


Due to the nature of the material, you can use the wipers as often as you like without worrying about peeling off the water-repellent coating. But silicone also has one disadvantage. It is relatively softer than rubber. To overcome this, our rectangular blade shape comes into play. While silicone is much softer than rubber, the shape strengthens the silicone’s positive qualities, resulting in superior performance and extended durability. 






Never forget: 

The heart of a wiper is its blade.

And Kimblade has the only rectangular-shaped blade in the world.
