Keep Kitchen and Bath Areas Cleaner, Longer -- Looking Better Than New
Tekon Introduces Green Kits for Bath, Stone, Countertop and Stainless Steel

(Costa Mesa, CA, April, 2006) Tekon Universal Sciences Inc. (Tekon US Inc.) has developed an affordable line of green environmental products for kitchen and bath that imitate a perfectly natural process. In nature, a leaf or plant or rose never stays dirty, because living things possess a water resistant surface that protects them against, germs, bacteria, fungus and other toxins which can cause illness or even death. Tekon’s Bath, Stone, Countertop, and Stainless Steel Kits are ideal for cleaning, protecting and maintaining surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, making them ultra hygienic and free of bacteria, mold, viruses, and other toxins. The revolutionary coating and maintenance process makes kitchens and bathrooms look better than new.
Tekon’s home kits are easy to apply, chemical free, and safe for humans and pets. Tekon’s process coats surfaces, making them super hydrophobic and stain resistant. Since the Tekon process is based on beyond nano technology, a little of the product goes a long way. Surfaces are maintained by applying Empowered Daily and Empowered Plus Weekly sprays or Repellant wash with microfiber cloths and mops. Spraying and wiping kitchen and bathroom areas with microfiber cloth removes toxins from the top and helps reseal the surface. Microfiber sets up a static charge and collects dust, particles and dirt, rather than spreading it into the air.
Bret Aiken, President of Tekon Universal Sciences Inc., says contemporary homes are much different than those built a generation ago. “It’s not your mother’s house anymore,” said Aiken. “Homes are now made with architectural materials such as natural stone, glass, ceramic tile, and stainless steel. These materials are sensitive to chemicals, and can be damaged by abrasives.” Representatives of Tekon US Inc. will be preset to demonstrate the new green home cleaning kits at the National Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference (K/BIS) New Product Pavilion from April 21-23 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

CONDE NAST CAFETERIA Still looking good

Completed in early 2000 The Conde Nast Cafeteria in New York City is still looking good. These glass panels where treated with TekonUS to keep it "better than new". The cafeteria is being called an architects dream. Frank Gehry conjured up the design With un-sealed walls of sand blasted glass, this would be a maintenance nightmare. TekonUS was a true necessity for the success of the finished product. Finger printing was reduced to a minimum and cleaning was Made simple. This glass wonder is a pleaser and a phenomenon in the architectural world .

1.First you need to clean the glass and make sure that the shipping coating has been completely removed. We recommend rubbing alcohol to clean deeper into the porous surface structure of glass.

2.In order for a hydrophobic coating to work for more than a few weeks, the hydrogen barrier must be penetrated. This can ONLY be achieved with a manual application.

3.To Create a long lasting coating there must be an elimination of the free oxygen atoms at the furthest depths of the glass surface.

4.A chemical bond must be made. This can happen by attaching carbon atoms to the last standing oxygen at the atomic level. When this happens, the carbon atoms spontaneously bond to themselves and build to the surface of the glass(Tekon A). The glass then becomes hydrophobic, it is not yet super-hydrophobic

5. In order to make the glass super-hydrophobic, the base coating needs to be protected. This can only be achieved by physically bonding polymers to the surface. The highest performance that you can get is with seven part polymer blend with seven different sized molecules(Tekon B). This of these as seven different sized marbles and they are in a funnel. What happens is that the smallest marble goes to the furthest point and the bigger ones are on the very top. Now the glass becomes a long - lasting SUPER HYDROPHOBIC surface. There is only one product in the U.S. that is can achieve this state, and this product is TekonUS.

Let's not forget how important it is to prepare the surface. For any hydrophobic coating to work, the glass must be thoroughly cleaned by hand and completely dry and free of contaminant.

Words from TekonUS products user :

Liquid Gold says Style Bath Style Bath has been using the TekonUS product for almost 4 years. It's the best and easiest selling product we have in our showroom. We are applying it to 90% of our shower door. We have had literally no complaints on the product since day one. Not only are the customers very appreciative of the product, there is a high profit margin for our company. We call it "our liquid gold". We set up all of our dealers with sales kits along with all of our independent contractors to be able to sell the product at their location. Sincerely, Dennis Barley

Applications by Bret Aiken

Tekon A makes a chemical bond to the surface at the molecular level. It is easy to install and takes up little space to store in your warehouse. A little Tekon A goes a long way. An ounce can do up to forty feet. The product is applied as follows: To prepare the glass for sealing,use a mixture of 1/3 parts isopropyl alcohol to 2/3 parts water. Spray mixture(in a clean spray bottle) over surface and wipe clean with a cotton cloth. Then apply Tekon A with a micro fiber applicator sponge. (Only a small amount is need). Make sure all surface areas are covered. Let stand for approximately 40 seconds. This is the minimal amount of time needed for application to bond; however, if it is left on longer, it will not disturb its effectiveness. After the process is completed, wipe the surface down with a micro fiber cloth, rubbing to a shine. The installation is now complete!
