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 Nanotechnology 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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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).
(3) Occupational Safety & Health Administration, US Department of Labor: OSHA's mission is to ensure safe and healthful workplaces in the USA.
