Permanon Hard and Fast

Permanon products are especially beneficial for Super-Yacht’s and their crews
Permanon provides a safe way for crew to apply a high-gloss surface conserving protection to all surfaces without having to  use surface degrading polishing which often leads to halo swirls, surface degradation and eventually to earlier repainting.  

In contrast Permanon Supershine's natural coating extends the life of Yacht Paint due to its extremely high UV resistance, detergent & acid resistance, salt & oxidation resistance etc. Permanon Supershine does not bond chemically, only statically making it completely safe for every surface, including polyurethane paint coatings, steel, glass, varnish, gel coat, GRP, leather etc.  

Once the Supershine coating is applied, wash-downs become up to 50% faster and easier as dirt, salt and minerals cannot stick to surfaces as strongly as before making regular wash-downs much simpler, faster and easier. 

Permanon products easily provide a natural high-gloss and multi-resistant surface protection without chemical bonding to almost every surface. Permanon products are made up of the natural element Si14 in its elemental / monomolecular form, so are more than 96% biodegradable and not harmful to person or nature.  

The immediate static connection enables results that normally require hours of labour intensive work to achieve with conventional products  to be achieved in minutes through Permanon’s pioneering development. Permanon products do not contain silicone and can be completely, easily and rapidly removed for repainting by a wash down with an alkaline product of over 12PH i.e.12.5PH, 13PH. Or by the normal light sanding that is always carried out before painting to prepare the surface.  

Permanon products have been specially designed and engineered so that no special procedure or extra sanding will ever be required to remove Permanon products for repainting! The normal, standard surface preparation procedure that must be carried out to re-paint a yacht properly is more than enough to completely remove all Permanon coating elements! This is another very important unique benefit of Permanon products!

Permanon products are mono-molecular and not tri-molecular like other products, Permanon products only seal up to 90%, blocking water and moisture whilst allowing the surface to breathe. This is very important for leather and fresh paint, as ‘out-gassing’ the releasing of solvents from freshly applied paint is not prevented. 

Permanon Supershine is very easily applied by simply wiping or spraying Supershine on any pre-cleaned non-porous surface, then hand dry or rinse. Since Supershine connects to surfaces statically no waxing, compounding or buffing is needed, just hand drying (reachable surfaces) or rinsing (hard to reach surfaces) is required for application. 

Another great benefit for boat surfaces, crews  and the environment is that once Permanon Supershine has been applied crews need only rinse or wipe down the boat’s surface with water and wet cloths to rinse off grime and dirt. A hydrophobic effect will also be observed making drying the boat also easier and faster, whilst leaving a high-gloss effect on all surfaces to please all, especially the owner! Some crews prefer to keep using their regular detergents as normal. This is fine as Permanon resists from PH1 to PH12, so will not be stripped of by regular day to day washing.  

Thanks to the Permanon coating yacht surfaces can now be successfully cleaned with using even 50% less concentrated detergents. For example instead of using 50 litres a month, 25 litres can now be used.  

This is much better for expensive and sensitive yacht surfaces, the environment and also financially beneficial.
These Permanon benefits can be maintained indefinitely by periodically adding Permanon 2in1 Shampoo to the rinse down procedure which can be added alone to the wash-down or mixed in water buckets with other PH neutral detergents. 

Permanon 2 in 1 Shampoo contains high quality PH-neutral surfactants combined with statically connecting Si14 elements. As Permanon Shampoo 2 in 1 cleans it automatically tops up and maintains the high-gloss Supershine coating. An extremely easy and environmentally friendly way to maintain a value
conserving high-gloss protection.  

Crews will conserve the environment and Yacht surfaces whilst pleasing the owner and saving time.  

Crews will no longer need to use aggressive and damaging detergents that harm the
environment, their health and the yacht surfaces. Instead they will protect and maintain the value of the yacht’s surface whilst providing the yacht with an easy to maintain, high-gloss protection that cannot harm any surface in even the slightest way due to its purely natural static connection.  

Permanon 2 in 1 Shampoo is a low-foaming product and all Permanon surface protection products are tested on their neutrality towards even the smallest single cell aquatic life forms by the Veterinary University of Hanover which specialises in fish behaviour and illnesses. No damage was observed to even single cell organisms when exposed to Permanon surface treatment products.  

Permanon has been tested in independent Weather-o-meter´ accelerated exposure tests. The latest test exposed coatings to strong ultraviolet light (artificial) and high condensation (salt water spray). It is proposed that 5000 hours/208 days in the Weather-o-meter test chamber may be similar to about 6 years of outdoor  exposure in a marine environment in the Mediterranean area. 

The test results show that Permanon Supershine sealer applied onto a polyurethane topcoat has a significantly positive effect on the topcoat’s gloss retention and general weathering properties – particularly in the longer term after the topcoat has been exposed for some time. 

Test results showed gloss loss was cut to almost half with a single undiluted wipe of Permanon. Meaning that regular Permanon treatments at 3-5% with Permanon 2 in1 Shampoo can double the life of a topcoat.   

It was not possible to remove the plate during the test and treat it periodically with our 2 in 1 maintenance shampoo. So instead a plate was wiped once with undiluted Supershine, which is the closest way we could come to simulating the periodical maintenance wash-downs at 3-5% with Permanon 2 in 1 Shampoo. Results with regular wash-downs are estimated to be evenbetter than the test results of a single undiluted wipe. 

Permanon sealant Permanon Supershine only needs to be sprayed on a clean, grease and wax free surface, and then thoroughly dried to prevent water marks. Or rinsed with osmosis (demineralised water) then no drying is required, as there will be no minerals to leave watermarks. No reaction time, compounding, buffing, polishing or waxing is ever required. A non-invasive, non-abrasive, fast and safe way to apply a high-gloss surface conserving protection. 

Unlike Polymer and wax products Permanon coatings are resistant from 1 PH to 12 PH, and so do not get stripped off when other detergents are used.  

During transport or sea-voyages a hydrophobic effect will be observed on all surfaces including windows, which will also benefit from increased transparency. 
If a surface is very dull traditional polishing (cutting-back) will be required before applying a protective Permanon coating. If only moderate gloss has been lost.  

Permanon Supershine can bring gloss back. It is also possible to seal a yacht's interior surfaces, which can then be maintained with Permanon’s interior cleaning product Sanides which contains positively charged Si14. This will save stewardesses a lot of time when cleaning interior surfaces as dirt will not stick and will be easy to remove.  

Independent tests by bacteriological institutes have confirmed that with even half the frequency of cleaning Bacteria levels remain much lower than when only traditional products are used. This is because bacteria are cut off from the microscopic surface pores required for its survival and reproduction. Bacteria remain on top of Permanon’s Si14 coating and can be easily wiped off.  

Permanon has also recently developed a highly effective Powersoap capable of easily and quickly removing all heavy organic fouling including marine and aviation exhaust from solid or rubber surfaces without removing the shine of a surface or damaging it in any way.  

Permanon products are sold highly concentrated to keep shipping costs low. This also works towards preserving the environment, as shipping lots of water also creates unnecessarily large amounts of Co2 during transport. 

Permanon products need to be diluted at 3-5%, making Permanon products the most competitively priced in the industry for world-wide shipping.  

One litre of Permanon Supershine is enough to treat 1000 square metres (depending on dilution 3-5%).
