Flexitech offers the latest technology of defrosters. The defrosters are designed to prevent frosting and fogging of Optical Windows, Filters, and Lenses. It helps providing crisp and clear image at all times and weather conditions.

The defrosters are suitable for a wide variety of glass and glass-ceramic elements (perfectly compliments silicon, sapphire or germanium elements).

Suited to many applications, including Defense, Automotive, Agriculture, Laser, and Airborne Systems.

Challenge us to engineer the perfect solution to your fogging and icing issues.
