1100 VERTICLE CLEANING
NOTICE: Please describe current cleaning techniques and exact composition of tile, cement, stucco, adobe, brick, granite or other surface, so that the ideal mixture can be supplied.
1. Application
a. Initial treatment; Always begin at bottom of structure to avoid lower streaking. Spray on at low pressure and fully saturate the surface. Five minutes is adequate. Do not allow liquid to dry on surface. Rinse surface with a high pressure water rinse and continue rinse cycle until no `cloudiness' appears in run-off rinse water.
NOTE: Initial treatment for some glazed wall tile is not recommended, cover all glass surfaces before initial treatment. Exterior cleaning of large structures requires no special brushing before rinse cycle, however interior verticle structures may require brushing and a wet-vac to recover rinse water where carpets or other floor surfaces exist. Use respirators and goggles when spraying initial. No special equipment necessary for dilute cleaner. Not recommended for horizontal food preparing surfaces in kitchens.
2. Result
a. 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)
b. 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 Ca F(PO) is 540 kj/mole. An increase in chemical and physical erosion resistance will result.
3. Comparative advantage
a. Conventional coatings
will not resist physical and chemical attack such as `acid rain', Carbon Monoxide and other chemical erosion agents, as efficiently as pHluorus. Sand blasting from wind and other physical deteriorating factors will be significantly reduced. The interval for structural replacement could be increased up to 50%, as indicated in recent tests on abrasion resistance, through the California D.O.T. (See Tier 3000 Series # 3110). Original new-like look will result. The reoccurring cost of resurfacing or replacing structures is exorbitant, compared to the simple inexpensive preventative maintenance fluoro-resurfacing factor accomplished with pHluorus. |
