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 treatment;  Follow basic procedure as described in Tier 2000 Series #2210, Initial micro-etch procedures, however a pre-wash with a common digressing compound such as tide should be completed.  Most automotive floors have dirt mixed with grease.  pHluorus is not cost effective to simply remove dirt.  Once the dirt (soil etc.) is removed pHluorus will remove the grease most effectively.  Care should be taken to squeegee all "pools" of water caused by pre-wash so that pHluorus will not be too dilute in such areas.

   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 has special significance because of the compounds permanent bacteriofrenic feature.  Automotive service areas 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

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 --> CaF_{2 (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 Lachines 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 waem `part time' bacterofrenic agents.
