Diamon-Fusion International, Inc.
(DFI Nanotechnology), global developer and exclusive licensor of the
Diamon-Fusion patented hydrophobic nanotechnology, recently
announced its flagship easy-to-clean nano-coating
Diamon-Fusion has been applied at a "Green
Project" in the State of Minnesota, USA, which has been
denominated by Eco-Architects, Designers and Industry Experts as the
world's most environmentally friendly home.
Live Green, Live Smart/The Sustainable House is a
participant in the LEED for Homes Pilot Project transforming
an ordinary post-war rambler in a suburban neighborhood into a Century
House that will be energy efficient, environmentally healthy,
respectful of the natural environment, and comfortable for family life
as climate and energy resources alter in the coming decades. The
Sustainable House intends to become the nation's first home
remodel to achieve LEED Platinum Certification - the highest level of
efficient design.
The collaborative team remodeling this home is committed to
using the best off-the-shelf and state-of-the-science materials and
techniques to reconstruct an ordinary residence into a demonstration of
best practices in sustainability, minimizing carbon footprint,
preserving natural resources, and living with as much energy
independence as attainable. The house will be a demonstration
laboratory occupied by an ordinary American family - extraordinarily
monitored for the performance of systems and materials for the next
three years.
Bruce Ticknor, DFI's Director of New Market
Development, stated: "We are proud to participate in this
green project through our licensee, Easy Clean Home of San Diego. We
are strongly committed to supporting the movement towards
"greening" homes. DFI's patented
nanotechnology offers a quick, easy and cost-effective way to convert
existing living spaces into green, healthy environments."
Greg Hagenah, Business Partner at Easy Clean San Diego, a
California-based DFI Licensee, in charge of this project, commented:
"We are honored to be included in the Livegreen LiveSmart
project. The 'Easy Clean Home' process eliminates
the need for traditional household cleaning chemicals, while protecting
and preserving valuable interior and exterior surfaces, and the
environment. Through our relationships with state-of-the-art hygienic
surface technology providers like DFI, we can economically convert
existing homes into a Green Easy-to-Clean Home."
DFI Nanotechnology multi-functional characteristics include:
water and oil repellency (hydrophobic and oleophobic), impact and
scratch resistance, protection against graffiti, dirt and stains,
finger print protection, UV stability, additional electrical
insulation, protection against calcium and sodium deposits and
increased brilliance and lubricity. DFI's nanocoating works
at nanoscale levels to change the molecular composition of any
silica-based surface. Diamon-Fusion provides, in chemical
terms, a 'cross-linked',
'branched' and 'capped'
optically clear nano-film along with a strong and durable covalent bond.
