About Diamon-Fusion®
DFI’s patented Diamon-Fusion® nano-coating protects glass and other silica-based surfaces by creating a durable, hydrophobic barrier that repels water and resists soiling. The coating reduces water usage and cleaning frequency and eliminates the need for harsh chemicals—helping surfaces stay cleaner for longer. Diamon-Fusion® is optically clear; scratch, impact, and graffiti resistant; UV-neutral; chemically inert; and helps reduce mold and bacteria buildup while enhancing brilliance.
