| Fast Facts: |
| •Upon contact with air, Silicium builds a passive oxide film. |
| •Silicium is the second most frequently occurring element on Earth (after oxygen), however, it does not readily occur in its elementary form; it readily combines with oxygen, forming silicates - for example: sand (Silicon Dioxide SiO2). |
| •Silicium Si14, as it is used in Permanon products, is a monomolecular (pure) Silicium. |
| •The Si14 protection layer is insoluble in acids, except for nitric acid containing hydrofluoric acid.
|
| •In a hot alkaline solution Silicium dissolves by forming hydrogen bonds and transmitting energy. |
| •Permanon can be easily removed at a pH of 12.5 or higher
