I just wanted to welcome everyone to a new subforum that will be focused on a topic that has come up in different ways on other subforums. That being surfaces. For example. How does one identify a titanium dioxide self cleaning surface? How does one identify when damage is done? What of the various pyrolytic hard coats? As technology moves forward even glass itself is becoming very different. Look at Gorilla glass from Corning. Check out the videos on the Youtube. Does anyone have anything in particular they are curious about. Or does anyone have anything they would like to contribute?
This is great Henry thank you.
I can not encourage everyone enough to take advantage of Henrys knowledge. He is a wealth of knowledge.
Also look for Henrys column that will be a regular feature in WCBO going forward.
I think “The Molecular Level” would be more appropriate given Henry’s knowledge. 
Regardless, I’ll be watching as Henry’s research is always insightful.
Thank you, Henry. Every once in awhile we go to Corning Glass. Really cool place. I don’t recall seeing Gorilla glass, but I’ll look for it next time.
Hi Dan,
That is where I want to go this spring! I understand they have a great library. Need to find something for my wife to do out there. She likes flowers. Must be a botanical garden somewhere about.
Hi Herschel,
Thanks for your compliment. Lately I’ve been looking back at low e coatings. Fascinating stuff. Usually we only are in contact with the pyrolytic CVDs. Which are based on fluorinated tin dioxide. So. My question is. What chems will alter the top molecules enough to effect what some would call damage. Guess I need to buy some more glass and waste it real bad!
