1070 WAREHOUSES

NOTICE: Please describe current cleaning techniques and compounds with exact composition of tile surfaces (floor and walls) so that ideal mixture can be supplied.

1. Application

a. Initial treat; Follow basic procedure as described in Tier 2000 Series #2210, Initial Micro-etch procedures, however warehouses have large areas that may be cleaned by special cleaning equipment, such as cleaning machines with spray, brush and wet-vac features. For initial treatment with such machines, the spray and brush cycle is desired with out the wet-vac cycle on the first run. A second `brush cycle only' may be necessary. Before solution begins to dry, the machine should be refilled with water and the spray, brush and wet-vac cycles should be used. It may be necessary to "rinse cycle" more than once to eliminate excess product from floor surface. Cleaning cycles are the same as before with spray, brush and wet-vac cycle all on the same pass. Cleaning machines with aluminum tanks should never be used with pHluorus, however any aluminum parts other than tanks will not be affected since cleaning cycles or initial are dilute enough to not cause hydrogenation.

NOTE: Take special care during initial treatment to keep liquid away from mirrors or glass doors. pHluorus cleaner will not effect surfaces when dilute on-going is used.

2. Result

a. The pHluorus application, in warehouses has special significance because of the compounds permanent bacteriofrenic feature. Warehouses cleaned by professional Janitorial Services, where waste mop water was tested resulted in the identification of almost every known infectious organism.

b. The pHluorus treatment and on-going cleaner will produce a permanent fluorinated surface. Since the Al-F bond is also a fairly strong relative to the A1-O bond, treatment of kaolin (clay substance in tile) with HF (hydrofluoric acid) will result in replacement of -OH groups attached to Al by F groups. The equation is:

-Al - OH + HF --> Al-F + H2O

c. The number of -OH groups replaced by F will depend on the strength of the (HF) solution and the dwell-time of solution. Under prolonged treatment segments of the AlOH surface are dissolved by even dilute (HF) (on-going cleaner) to take amounts of the surface coating into solution. The equation is:

Formula

d. This process opens the underlying silicate micro-crack structure to attacks by (HF) and a slightly roughened, less slippery surface is generated. We have `glass frosting' in a very `gentlemanly fashion' because the on-going cleaner solution is so dilute. Thus, the worlds first continual traction treatment. The negative fluorine ion in the (HF) is the most powerful element known to man for reacting to compounds common in stone floor surfaces. Thus safe, low dilution levels will most efficiently dissolve all slippery deposits normally occurring on floor surfaces (i.e. silicates, calcium, carbonates and other minerals). Dangerous disease organisms such as, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruqinosa Salmonella cholerasuis, infectious hepatitis, cold and flu virus) cannot survive on pHluorus treated surfaces because of the fluorination factor. The fluorinated surface has a significantly higher bond energy (see report 3030 p.3 III A.) reducing tile and grout deterioration caused by conventional cleaners, water and the micro-organisms/fungi supported by a combination of the two.

e. In grout/cement the result of treatment is a reconstructed surface generation converted from the original molecular structure of calcium carbonate, (limestone) which is relatively soft and soluble, to hard, strong calcium fluoride. The equation is;

CaCO3 + HF --> CaF2 (INSOLUBLE) + H2O + CO2 ^ (GAS)

f. Tests performed by professional scientists, (Tier 3000 report 3020 and 3110) confirm that wherever silicates, (tile), calcium, (grout), carbon and combinations thereof exist, fluorination will result when pHluorus is applied. The bond energy of CaCo is only 368 kj/mole, whereas CaF(PO) is 540 kj/mole. An increase in chemical and physical erosion resistance will result.

    g. Separate test conducted at the Mesa Luther Hospital in Mesa, Arizona confirmed that when the tile surface was treated with pHluorus, no bacterial colonies could be grown. See Tier 3000 Series #3080.

3. Comparative Advantage

a. pHluorus is, permanent surface infection control. Disinfecting agents or cleaners containing hydrochloric, sulfuric, citric, phosphoric or other acid, neutral or alkaline compounds are sufficiently water soluble and wash off or prematurely `wear out', making them `part time' bacterofrenic agents.

b. The pHluorus fluorinating compound will out perform all disinfectants or related micro-organisms/fungi control agents, because of its permanent full time bacterofrenic characteristic. The pHluorus treatment cannot be `washed off' or `worn out'. Food storage areas no longer need be `part time' contamination centers.
