Diamon-Fusion®, an award-winning
technology, uses a process called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), which is a
scientific method that precisely creates a vapor (or mist) of a formulated
chemical. Surfaces containing silica (silicon dioxide), like glass, ceramic
tile, porcelain, and granite, absorb the vapor into those surfaces, filling in
the microscopic ridges and valleys of the surface and making them smoother.
Diamon-Fusion® then
"caps" the molecule chains to increase durability and repellency
even more. The process bonds to form a protective layer of optically clear
durable material, making the surface dramatically easier to clean and more
resistant to weathering.
Normally, water clings to glass
because of a molecular force called "surface tension", but after
being treated with Diamon-Fusion, water molecules no longer interact directly
with the glass because of its special properties. This protective layer is so
smooth that the surface tension is between the water molecules themselves. As
a result, water droplets bead up and stream away as they are physically
repelled from the glass by atomic forces. While the coating does not make the
surface stain and scratchproof, it does make it highly stain and scratch
resistant.
