How does
Diamon-Fusion® work?
|
 |
 |
Diamon-Fusion® molecularly fuses
with glass to form a hydrophobic barrier. It creates a new chemical bond that
enhances visibility in bad weather and strengthens glass weight load by up to
ten times. As a result, water beads up and rolls away, and small road debris
ricochets off.

Why would I
want to use Diamon-Fusion®?
|
 |
 |
Diamon-Fusion® improves driver
reaction time by keeping windshields and glass surfaces clearer. It improves
visibility during inclement weather, and reduces the likelihood of damage from
small road debris. Diamon-Fusion® also allows insects to be easily washed away,
and makes ice and snow much easier to remove. It protects against acid rain,
corrosion and mineral buildup, and is resistant to UV rays. It preserves the
beauty and luster of glass surfaces.

How is the
process applied?
|
 |
 |
The process is called "chemical
vapor deposition". The surface to be fused goes through a cleaning process and
is then coated with a liquid catalyst (in cases of high humidity, no catalyst
is necessary). A specially designed machine pumps out a "fog-like" vapor
containing the special chemicals needed to make the
molecular change. The process happens in a split-second and the glass is
immediately usable. All chemicals become inert within seconds of
neutralization.

On what
surfaces does the Diamon-Fusion® process work?
|
 |
 |
Any silica based surface , which
includes all of the glass on your car or boat (but not on the reflective side
of reflective glass).

Is
Diamon-Fusion® different from other glass treatment products?
|
 |
 |
Yes! Award-winning
Diamon-Fusion® technology is patented and available in more than 30 countries
around the world. More than just a coating that can peel and blister over time,
Diamon-Fusion® has created a chemical bond to enhance visibility in bad weather
and strengthen glass weight load by up to ten times.

Is there
documented proof that Diamon-Fusion® works?
|
 |
 |
Yes! Dr. William C. LaCourse,
Professor of Glass Science at the Institute for Glass Science and Engineering
at Alfred University, has conducted tests at an independent testing laboratory.
Dr. LaCourse is an expert in the study of glass and ceramics. He has done
testing for major companies like PPG and Kohler. Here is a summary of the most
important findings of his tests:
Coefficient of Friction
(with Glass indentor wet)
Untreated Glass .82
Improved Diamon-Fusion® .13
To make the coefficient of
friction useful, we have used a formula that translates the data into the force
required to cause damage to the surface. Assume that a load of 10 lbs. has been
placed on the rider under static conditions, and that this is the lowest load
that caused cracking. (No dragging.) Using the formula we can now calculate the
load that would cause cracking to occur when the rider is dragged across the
sample.
When comparing wet vs. wet
friction, calculations indicate that it would take more than 10 times the load
(4.0 lbs. vs. 0.37 lbs.) to cause damage on your treated sample vs. the
untreated.
In conclusion, the weight of a
debris particle required to crack a piece of glass that has been treated with
Diamon-Fusion® would need to be ten times heavier than the weight required to
crack an untreated piece of glass.

Will I still
need to clean my glass?
|
 |
 |
Yes, you will. The process
REDUCES cleaning time; it does not eliminate it.

Will
Diamon-Fusion® discolor or peel over time?
|
 |
 |
No it won’t discolor or peel,
and it remains stable under UV Rays.

Will it harm my
High Performance or Insulated Glass?
|
 |
 |
What about the surrounding
frames?
No; Diamon-Fusion® is designed
for any silica based surface , which includes all of the glass on your car or
boat (but not on the
reflective side of reflective glass). It is applied only by trained,
certified technicians.

Is
Diamon-Fusion® environmentally safe?
|
 |
 |
Once it is applied to your
glass, it is chemically inert and completely safe.

Can I use my
regular cleaners to clean the surfaces?
|
 |
 |
Yes, you can use your regular
low-alkali glass cleaners.
