3. 3 1. Silicium Periodic Table SymbolSi Atomic Number14 Mohs Hardness7 CAS-No.7440-21-3 Fast Facts: Upon contact with air, Silicium builds a passive oxide film. Silicium is the second most frequently occurring element on Earth (after oxygen), however, it does not readily occur in its elementary form; it readily combines with oxygen, forming silicates - for example: sand (Silicon Dioxide SiO 2 ).

4. 4 1. Silicium (cont.) Silicium, as it is used in Permanon products, is a pure monomolecular Silicium. The Si 14 -protection layer is insoluble in acids, except for nitric acid containing hydrofluoric acid. In hot alkaline though, Silicium easily dissolves by forming hydrogen bonds and transmitting energy. Permanon can be removed at a Ph of 12.5 or higher

5. 5 2.Polymers Definition A polymer is a macro-molecular material formed by fusing single molecules into complex molecular structures. Polymers can be classified as: Co-Polymers: composed of 2 or more types of monomer building blocks Isomeric Polymers: composed of a single type of monomer building block

6. 6 3.Products “To meet the different demands and requirements of a diverse range of applications, specific combi- nations of Silicium and Polymers were chosen.” The underlying formulations are the same in all products. The isomeric and/or co-polymers are optimized and vary, in a one-digit percentage range, between the formulations.

14. 14 3. Permanon Supershine For application of: Permanon Supershine Permanon Supershine is a water-based solution Dilute with water to apply a pure Silicium-polymer- mixture for coating all types of surfaces A dust and oil-free surface area is all that is needed Apply with an industrial spray system, compression sprayer, cloth, or by direct submersion.

15. 15 4. Coating with Silicium (cont.) For application of (cont.): Permanon Supershine Remove the water carrier; it can be removed with a water hose/power wash or a clean micro-fiber cloth. Using demineralised rinse water eliminates the need for drying. Cosmetic water spotting may occur with untreated water. Drying can be done with air, silicone blades, or with clean Micro-fiber cloths

16. 16 3. Permanon Supershine (cont.) Applied concentration 5-10%, depending on the absorbency level of the treated surface structure. Higher porosity/absorbent surfaces require higher concentrations.

17. 17 4. Coating with Silicium The positive (+) charge of the monomolecular silicium induces an electrostatic bond with the surface areas, which always have a negative (-) charge Material surfaces coated with Permanon do not undergo any chemical reaction. Most other surface protection products react chemically with the surfaces that they treat.

18. 18 4. Coating with Silicium (cont.) No reaction time is necessary, and the product does not need to be rubbed in or polished. Application is: Simpler Faster Easier Less damaging More economical

19. 19 4. Coating with Silicium (cont.) Competing products usually contain silicon oils or fluoric silan, combined with polymers and / or solvents as a carrier. Permanon Supershine contains only Silicium (a metalloid) and polymers in a water-based solution. No oils or siliconized products, or waxes.

20. 20 4. Coating with Silicium (cont.) Competitors recommend individual products for different surfaces such as glass, varnished surfaces, plastic, rubber, synthetic materials, metals, etc. Permanon products can be used on all materials without damage or discoloring. Do more without special equipment, training, or other miscellaneous supplies Permanon is sold as a concentrate, competitors are as much as 50 times more expensive when compared to Permanon products.

21. 21 5. Protection Attributes  Resistant from -40ºC to + 300ºC  Resistant against ultra violet (UV) light exposure  Resistant against alkaline up to pH 12.5  Resistant against acid (except hydrofluoric acid)  Resistant against disinfectants  Resistant against H 2 O 2  Anti-fouling effect  Enhanced stain release

22. 22  Dirt cannot bond tightly to treated surfaces reducing incidence of mineralization or salt deposition and organic staining  lower care and cleaning expenditure, which results in lowered cleaning costs  Material surfaces are protected extending in-service life cycle  Non-toxic, no irritants and biodegradable  Reduces cleaning labor (time) by up to 50%  Improves surface appearance for a longer period of time compared to traditional methods  Reduces the need to use aggressive and potentially more hazardous cleaners  Pleasant oder that does not require masking of the scent  Electro-static bond repels airborne dust; extending cleaning cycles for many surfaces 5. Benefits of the Permanon Product Line

23. 23 5. PERMANON Supershine Composition –Special surface-active polymers –Pure monomolecular silicium Protection properties for –All kinds of soiling –Reduced mineralization and salt deposits –Reduced exhaust fouling –UV radiation protection from the sun –Special anti-fouling effect (reduced algae formation) –Increased transparency of glass panes –Protection properties over a period of many months Activity –Polymers bond in an electrostatic manner with the surface and result in an invisible monomeric protective film at the nano level. –Viewed from a microscopic standpoint, the “rough” surface structure is filled up and thereby smoothened.

27. 27 7. Physical characteristics of a Capillary Definitions Capillarity attraction refers to the “wicking” effect that occurs as a result of a liquids surface tension in narrow cavities and in pores. Capillary ascension refers to the rising of liquids within a capillary, for example water in surface cavities and pores.

28. 28 7. Physical characteristics of the capillary (cont.) All materials are porous and possess unique capillary structures. It is these capillaries that cause “wetting”, a natural fluid ascendancy. This phenomena is know as hydrophilic attractive force. Contaminants such as fine dirt, algae, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other pathogens ascend into the capillaries, where they find an ideal breeding ground.

29. 29 7. Physical characteristics of the capillary (cont.) The positively charged Silicium particles overlap each other, closely following the capillary surface structure, so that the attractive force is in effect. The platelets fill and seal up to 90% of a capillaries volume. Dirt an other containments are cut off from entering the capillaries. Follow up cleaning becomes fast and easy, improving the overall cleanliness of the surface with less effort. Capillary Detail 10 -9 10 -8 10 -7 Silicium Nano Platelets

30. 30 8. Electro-static Bond An electrostatic bond is induced through the negative (-) charge of the surfaces and the positive (+) charge of the Permanon Supershine product. No reaction time is required: as soon as the Silicium comes in contact with surfaces, the coating process is completed. (-) Negatively Charged Surface Positively Charged Silicium Platelets (+) Electro- Static Bond

31. 31 9. Surface Protection Permanon treated surfaces and materials are protected from the damage caused by day to day wear as well as environmental conditions and workplace contamination. This layer of protection preserves the value of your investment; lowering your overall cost of ownership. Permanon is a semi-permanent coating. For full protection reapplication is necessary. Because Permanon will not stick to itself, effectively, Permanon targets the worn areas for repair.

32. 32 10. Compatibility of Material Permanon is inert and will not react with surface materials other than to electro-statically bond to them. Permanon is safe to apply to any solid surface There is no chemical reaction between Permanon and the treated material(s).

33. 33 11. Environmental Profile “Monomolecular Silicium and its decaying components are non-polluting” Permanon products contain no VOC’s and require no respiratory or personal protection products for mixing or application. Primary decomposition The detergents contained in the product have an average bio- degradability of at least 90 %.

34. 34 12. Surface Cleanliness Partial capillary sealing with Silicium allows surfaces to be more easily and completely cleaned than untreated surfaces. Viruses, bacteria, fungus, algae and other pathogen will not be able to find an ideal breeding ground, which slows pathogenic reproduction. Any soiling, including pathogen germs, now remain on the material’s surface and can safely and easily be removed during the next cleaning process. All pertinent health and safety laws/codes as well as normal disinfection measures need to observed and followed. Permanon is not a disinfectant or pesticide.
