8. B2B 100 Product Detail (How It Works !)
 Hydrphobic Surface Treatment Is An Engineered Aqueous
FluoroPolymer Solution
 Flourine (Main Constituent) Is The Most Electronegative
Element.
 Controlling the Flourine Distribution On The Substrate
Generates The Products Protection Performance
 The Tighter The Distribution The Higher The Protection, The
Interstitial Voids Allow Vapour To Pass Out !
 The Water Leaves Via Evaporation, The Fluropolymer Is Left
Behind, Delivering High Level Sustainable Protection

9. B2B 100 Product Detail (How It Works !)
Fluropolymer Entropy Distribution Diagram
Disordered Distribution
Surface Energy = 20+ mN/m
Controlled Distribution
Surface Energy = 15-20 mN/m
Ordered Distribution
Surface Energy = <10 mN/m
Ordered Distribution Offers High Performance Protection !

17. Efflorescence Removal & Protection Example
Cleaning Process: B2B 800 Hand Brushed on Affected Area  Pressure Washed (2
Pass’s)  Allowed To Dry  Protected With B2B Protection
How It Works : Efflorescence travels to the surface via moisture  B2B 800
neutralises the ace spoil  Pressure washing removes the residue  Allowed to
dry  B2B 100 Protection applied  Residue will then need to washed 2-3 times
until totally expended from treated area  B2B 100 stops moisture entering the
surface, stopping future surface spoiling.
