DFI’s nanotechnology, patented worldwide under the tradename of Diamon-Fusion®, is an award-winning technology which can be easily installed on existing surfaces in homes, businesses and on automobiles or mass-applied during a manufacturing process. DFI’s nanochemistry is applicable to most surfaces containing silica (silicon dioxide) such as glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, and granite. The chemical reaction bonds to form an ultra-thin protective layer of optically clear material which, makes the surface significantly easier to clean and more resistant to weathering. This method is done at nano-scale levels, which is a length scale of approximately 1-100 nanometer range (1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter). Nanometer dimensions are at the atomic dimension scale. The bond created in the patented process is a covalent bond. A covalent bond means that the coating shares the electrons with 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.
