Diamon-Fusion Internationals award-winning technology, patented in the US and worldwide as Diamon-Fusion®, utilizes a chemical vapor deposition proprietary system. Diamon-Fusion® works by transforming the treated substrate into an easy-to-clean surface. Diamon-Fusion is applicable to most surfaces containing silica (silicon dioxide) such as glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, quartz, and granite, among the most common ones.
DFI's proprietary chemicals are friendly to the environment and react with the moisture on the surface and the silica in the substrate (to be treated) thus generating a two-stage chemical process:
DFI'S NANO-CHEMISTRY
The chemical reaction bonds to form an ultra-thin protective layer of optically clear durable material, a "web-like" nano structure, making the surface significantly easier to clean and more resistant to weathering. This method is done at nano-scale levels, thus also called 'nano-chemistry', which is a length scale of approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range (1 nanometer is 1/1,000,000,000 meter, or 1 billionth of a meter). Nanometer dimensions are at the atomic dimension scale.
DFI'S COVALENT BOND
The bond created in the Diamon-Fusion® patented process is a covalent bond, the strongest possible bond, in chemical terms that a hydrophobic coating can generate. A covalent bond means that the coating shares the electrons within the glass itself, thus becoming a part of the glass. Covalent Bonds are approximately 10 times stronger than hydrogen-bridge bonds, which are commonly present in most other water repellent coatings.
