Yes! Dr. William C. LaCourse, Professor of Glass Science at the Institute for
Glass Science and Engineering at Alfred University, has conducted tests at an independent testing laboratory. Dr. LaCourse is an expert
in the study of glass and ceramics. He has done testing for major companies like PPG and Kohler. Here is a summary of the most important
findings of his tests:
Coefficient of Friction
(with Glass indentor wet)
Untreated Glass .82
Improved Diamon-Fusion® .13
To make the coefficient of friction useful, we have used a formula that translates the data into the force required to cause damage
to the surface. Assume that a load of 10 lbs. has been placed on the rider under static conditions, and that this is the lowest load
that caused cracking. (No dragging.) Using the formula we can now calculate the load that would cause cracking to occur when the rider
is dragged across the sample.
When comparing wet vs. wet friction, calculations indicate that it would take more than 10 times the load (4.0 lbs. vs. 0.37 lbs.)
to cause damage on your treated sample vs. the untreated.
In conclusion, the weight of a debris particle required to crack a piece of glass that has been treated with Diamon-Fusion® would need
to be ten times heavier than the weight required to crack an untreated piece of glass.
