DFI’s patented nanotechnology can be easily installed on new and existing surfaces in homes, businesses, vehicles and many other environments. DFI’s nanochemistry can be applied to most surfaces containing silica (silicon dioxide) such as glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, granite and quartz. The chemical reaction bonds to form an ultra-thin protective layer of optically clear material which makes the surface significantly easier to clean and resistant to weathering. The method is done at nano-scale levels, which is a length scale ranging from approximately 1 to 100 nanometers (1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter).
The bond created in the patented process is a covalent bond. A covalent bond means that the coating actually shares electrons with molecules in the glass itself, thus becoming part of the glass. Covalent bonds are approximately 10 times stronger than hydrogen-bridge bonds, which are commonly used in most other water repellent coatings
Diamon-Fusion® is a patented nanotechnology improves and protects the surfaces of glass, tile, porcelain and most silica-based surfaces. Surface treated with Diamon-Fusion® become:
- Highly water repellent (hydrophobic);less water on the results in less frequent cleanings & a reduction in mold and bacteria
- Oil repellent
- Scratch resistant
- Resistant to leaching of calcium and sodium (etching caused by hard water)
- At least 20% more brilliance (shine in glass surfaces)
