DIAMON-FUSION EXPLAINED
WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR GLASS TREATED WITH DIAMON-FUSION?
Untreated windshield glass is not smooth. When viewed microscopically, you would actually see peaks and valleys. These peaks and valleys create surface similar to sand paper. This jagged edge surface connects better with flying road debris which then impacts more force to the glass and causes pitting, chipping and cracking. The peaks also create prisms where light is reflected and refracted causing vision distortion and glare. Water collects in the valleys, depositing dirt, minerals and other material that will stain and etch your windshield over time. With Diamon-Fusion® Windshield Treatment there are no more peaks and valleys to catch road debris, distort vision and create glare. The glass becomes much smoother, resulting in a clearer, cleaner and safer windshield.
Did you also know that most of the small impacts that typically hit the windshield during normal driving conditions (the ones that typically chip, dent or even crack and untreated windshield) tend to bounce right off a Diamon-Fusion treated windshield do to the impact resistant properties associated with the product?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
DFI’s nanotechnology, patented in the US as Diamon-Fusion®, is an award-winning technology that uses a chemical vapor deposition process. DFI’s nanotechnology is applicable to most surfaces containing silica (silicon dioxide) such as glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, and granite. The specially formulated vapors react with the moisture on the surface and the silica in the substrate (to be treated). DFI’s nanotechnology is generated by a two-stage chemical process:
Stage 1
The chemical reaction created in the first stage causes a “cross-linked” and “branched” silicone film to be grown from below the surface out. After converting the chlorine atoms to OH groups using additional moisture (chlorine was left at the end of the atom chains after the first stage), a second specially formulated vapor is introduced to the surface.
Stage 2
The second stage ‘caps’ the entire chain of atoms. This unique ‘capping’ substantially increases the hydrophobicity and durability, leaving, chemically speaking, no points of attachment for contaminants and creating a truly repellant charge.
DFI’s NANO-CHEMISTRY
The chemical reaction bonds to form an ultra-thin protective layer of optically clear durable material, a nanostructurated device, 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 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.
