Anti-Fog Benefits

The right anti-fog treatment is critical for a variety of applications, whether it's something everyday, like the window on the local deli case or the freezer door
at your supermarket, or a more serious situation, like the operating mask of a heart surgeon or the visor on a firefighter's helmet.

Some manufacturers leave the anti-fog solution up to their clients, requiring the product user to apply some type of spray or wipe to keep fog build-ups at bay.

But this approach can have a number of downsides, including:

• Difficult application techniques
• Time-consuming application process
• Short-term effects only - no long-term solution
• Ease of smudging and streaking
• Refracted light from headlights and street lamps

The more effective approach is to purchase a product with an anti-fog coating already built in.

Surfaces protected with this type of treatment:

• Remain durable under very humid - or even wet - conditions
• Retain hardness
• Resist scratching, UV damage and chemical attack
• Provide long-term anti-fog protection, with no need for additional measures, such as replenishment of the anti-fog or wetting agent

But how can you tell if your product has the right anti-fog treatment? A simple one-hour water soak test will distinguish a good anti-fog product from the mediocre ones.
