Description (French)
Betterfrost travaillera avec un leader mondial des films conducteurs transparents à deux couches et à motifs, qui peuvent être utilisés pour la détection et l’élimination de la glace. Dans le cadre de ce projet, notre partenaire japonais fabriquera des prototypes de films à motifs sur deux faces, conformément à nos exigences. Nous testerons les films et les communiquerons aux constructeurs automobiles afin d’obtenir un retour d’information sur l’intérêt des applications pour les pare-brise, les phares et les caméras.
