Wayne’s Wax Infrared Covalent Glass Coating System

• Our proprietary infrared covalent glass coating technology is the best on the market. The specially formulated vapors react with the surface moisture and the silica in the substrate as generated and is adhered to the glass with our infared drying process.

• The bond created in the process is a covalent bond, the strongest possible bond, in chemical terms that a hydrophobic coating can generate. A covalent bond means that the coating shares the electrons within the glass itself, thus becoming a part of the glass. Covalent bonds are approximately 10 times stronger than hydrogen-bridge bonds which are commonly present in most other water repellent coatings.

• The chemical reaction during application causes a ‘cross-linked’ silicone film below the surface. After converting the chlorine atoms to OH groups using additional moisture, a second specially formulated vapor is introduced to the surface and the entire chain of atoms. This unique process substantially increases the hydrophobicity and durability, creating a truly repellent charge.

• The chemical reaction bonds to form an ultrathin protective layer of optically clear durable material, a nanostructured device, thereby making the surface significantly easier to clean and more resistant to weathering. Under severe weather conditions, the very low coefficient of friction on the treated surface makes glass much easier to clean and can improve visibility conditions by over 40%

• Finally, our infrared short wave emitter modules utilize durable UV curing and infrared drying with high light-emitting efficiency. The gold-coated shortwave tubes and gold-coated reflectors have 97% high reflectivity and strong antioxidation. This strengthens the molecular bond of the protective coating. This final curing process ensures that the coating will adhere evenly to the surface, the excess moisture will be removed, and the covalent bond will be complete.
