DFI's
Eco-friendly Philosophy
At
DFI, our commitment to maintaining a safe and clean environment
and the preservation of natural resources are key elements of
our corporate philosophy. DFI constantly strives to make efficient
use of all resources available to us, while maintaining an Eco-friendly
conscience.
DFI
maintains a Safe and Clean Environment.
DFI's coating is based on an environmentally safe vapor deposition
process. The chemicals used in our patented process have been
in use for over 55 years (since early 1945) in the aviation industry,
for different applications, and are not known to this date to
be cancer causing (non-carcinogenic). Additionally, the Diamon-Fusion
film created with our patented process is non-toxic. Furthermore,
the chemicals are not listed in the in the "Clean Air Act" (1)
or the "Clean Water Act" (2).
We
at DFI, with our extreme Eco-friendly philosophy, have implemented
the highest standards in the handling of our chemicals. DFI's
procedures provide the ability to have full neutralization of
any vapor residue prior to be released into the atmosphere. DFI's
process uses a very small quantity (typically between 2ml to 10
ml per cycle, depending on application and production volumes)
of vaporized chemicals, which further minimizes any exposure to
the environment. The vapors are then evacuated through a simple
and safe "scrubbing" process which leaves no measurable residue
in the atmosphere and has complied with all international standards
and environmental laws to this date.
OSHA
(3) has placed no PELS (permissible exposure limits) for applicators
handling DFI's chemicals.

The 1990 Clean Air Act is a federal law covering the entire United
States of America, whereas the individual states (like California
or New York) do much of the work to carry out the Act. For example,
a state air pollution agency holds a hearing on a permit application
by a power or chemical plant or fines a company for violating
air pollution limits.

In 1972, the US Congress enacted the first comprehensive national
clean water legislation in response to growing public concern
for serious and widespread water pollution. The Clean Water Act
(CWA), formerly known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
intended to " . . .restore and maintain the chemical, physical,
and biological integrity of the Nation's waters" (Section 101).
To accomplish that objective, the act aimed to attain a level
of water quality that "provides for the protection and propagation
of fish, shellfish, and wildlife, and provides for recreation
in and on the water" by 1983 and to eliminate the discharge of
pollutants into navigable waters by 1985.The CWA has five main
elements: (1) a system of minimum national effluent standards
for each industry, (2) water quality standards, (3) a discharge
permit program that translates these standards into enforceable
limits, (4) provisions for special problems such as toxic chemicals
and oil spills, and (5) a revolving construction loan program
(formerly a grant program) for publicly-owned treatment works
(POTWs).
