Satellite signals weaken as they pass through rain, snow or ice in the atmosphere or on a satellite dish. During heavy rain, a water film forms over a satellite dish causing a critical signal loss. Snow and ice accumulation can have a similar effect. WX2100™ repels all forms of precipitation. On a dish coated with WX2100™, the rain beads up and rolls off, and snow and ice do not adhere, allowing the signal to get through.

The picture below shows what happens during a snow storm (photo taken February 2005 in a moderate snow storm with accumulation of 2 to 3 inches). The dish at right was coated with WX2100™ and the TV signal was 96%. The lower dish at left is not coated. About 50% of the dish is covered with snow and there was no signal.
