Is the Ts/27 dangerous for health?

No, the TS27 has been developed by a laboratory specialized in environment and durable development. Its pH is neutral, it is ecological and its composition is made of a thermostable resin solubilized in a mineral oil. Please read the safety card. If any allergies and or other symptoms do appear, please consult a doctor.

If one applies the TS/27 to a metal, like a villa or residence gate, is it possible to repaint and/or change the colour ?

No, once applied the TS27 penetrates into the pores of metal and is polymerized, i.e. it hardens and forms a thin film on the surface (sometimes invisible to the naked eye). Painting slips and does not adhere anymore. On the other hand, it is an excellent mean for protecting oneself againts graffiti on a metal surface.

Is it possible to polymerize a frying pan?

No, it is not recommended to polymerize any kitchen article which has to be in direct contact with food. To date we have no tests proving that there is no side effect on health. On the other hand, it works propperly on any kind of office silverware and domestic accessories which are not in contact with food.

And accessories in the field of telecommunication ?

Preserves any kind of metals subject to a strong corrosion, accessories, cables, screw, cases, external metal parts, etc.

Does TS/27 have a limited life ?

No, TS/27 is of a great stability, it can perhaps be stored on a very long term bases and doesn’t have any known ageing effect to date.

Is the TS/27 toxic ?

TS/27 industry is not toxic and is auto-extinguishable.

Does TS/27 exist in Spray?

Its consumption, as to its presentation is confined to liquid form (film), taking into consideration that a presentation in paste would be to thick, or as "spray", the dissipation in the immediate environment would be to important.

Ts/27 is applied onto a steel surface like iceskate blades. The blade, even polymerized, continues to become oxidized.

The TS27 will grant an additional protection. A metal which contains metal impurities is subject to a surface oxidation, "catalysed" by the formation of a potential difference generated between the metals contained, even as impurities in an extremely low concentration, commonly called "micro-batteries". For example, an iceskate which is made up of steel which will inevitably contain other metals as traces, will deteriorate along the time, particularly in contact with an aqueous phase, namely the ice when it melts partially and is transformed into water.

The use of TS/27 on this equipment will not be exactly perfect; indeed, when the skate is used, the surface layer of TS/27 is of course immediately eliminated by friction. There remains the TS/27 which has penetrated into the pores of the metal, but the continuous friction of the skate on the ice will remove on thickness of some microns, on the surface, the TS/27 by mechanical drive.

How long does it take for the setting or curing of the resin into the pores of metal?
What is the processing time for a "metallic piece"?

The setting or curing time of TS/27 is directly related to the temperature at which the metal is  treated while the processing time of the piece, or penetration time into the pores of the metal, is linked to the temperature of application of TS/27 (by immersion  or other).
 
When metal is treated with TS/27, it can be kept at room temperature with a polymerization time of several months, (which does not prevent the protection against the metal oxidation at the ambient temperature), or heat it because it is a piece that is needed to function in a hot temperature, or to heat  specifically in order to accelerate the polymerization process.

At room temperature: protection against oxidation is ensured until the TS/27 penetration into the surface presents a layer of resin ensuring that the protection is permanent.
During frequent contact between two materials,  for example between an ice skate and an ice surface, the surface of the skate  is permanently "cleaned", and will store the TS/27 in the pores of the sweat surface prior to a complete cure since when in contact with the ice the temperature is close to 0° C.

When the pores of the metal are emptied, without the completed curing or setting, then protection against oxidation is obviously not assured. An addition of TS/27 again is necessary.
However, if the resin has time to polymerize without "extraction" by rubbing or permanent contact, protection is final, and the polymerization can last several months (at room temperature).

Further information for the use of TS/27 on metal, curing it must be achieved by a gradual increase in temperature, although it may be slow or rapid, but with an increase extending over 2 hours minimum to reach a maximum of 1100 ° C.
If the piece which is treated suffers a rise in temperature of only a few minutes to reach above 1100 ° C ,for example, an oil base which conducts the thermostable resin will be very quickly evaporated, and will mechanically , at least in part, reduce the mass of polymerized resin . The same goes for the polymerization from a temperature of around 350 ° C, the time taken to reach this temperature should be approximately 1 hour.

Clearly, the duration of the rise in temperature must allow the oil support to evaporate gradually to allow the resin to settle in the pores and in the surface of the treated metal.

Hot Metal working : The temperature gradient can work from room temperature to 1100 ° C.
The higher the temperature, the less the polymerization time will take.
For example, a piece set at 250 ° C will present a polymerization of TS/27 after 3 hours approximately.
A piece exposed to 500 ° C will present a polymerization of TS/27 after approximately 1 hour.
A piece exposed to 800 ° C presents a polymerization of TS/27 after around 20 minutes, while a room exposed to 1100 ° C presents a polymerization of TS/27 after 1 to 2 minutes.
The type of metal which is being treated is also important.
In Aluminum, inter-granular corrosion is much more important than that of steel in identical working conditions. It will present a more porous surface structure than the latter, and a slightly slower polymerization, taking into consideration that the melting point of Aluminum (around 600°C), does not permit a very high temperature curing.

 
Lastly, the heat treatment specifically designed to polymerize the TS/27 surface of a metal, for a particular application has interesting cost implications.
The first development of TS/27 was done to avoid on the one hand a metal oxidation in hot environment, and therefore simultaneously avoids a "rapid hardening" almost continuously occurring when one piece of clamping is in contact with another at a temperature close to or higher than 500 ° C.
Thus, bolts exposed to high temperatures are ideal for TS/27 usage. It was the original purpose for the invention of the substance and therefore the cost of the product was secondary, as it was essential for the equipment treated as for example bolts in incinerators, heat treating furnaces or nuclear equipment.
   
Finally, the penetration time of TS/27 into the pores of the metal, is mostly driven by its application temperatures, knowing that the treatment can be attempted within a range of 25 ° C to 120 ° C, and run for durations inversely proportional to the temperature, from 10 minutes to several hours. 

Application of TS/27 on 9,14,18 or 22 carat gold

Gold is stainless under ambient conditions, provide it is a PURE GOLD (24 carats).
Now, considering its ductility, which makes it easy to distort, the gold used for jewellery is never
pure and contains mainly copper so it becomes tarnished due to a slight surface oxidation, but
which hardens it in order to make jewels which will not be distorted.

For your information : - 22 carats are 916 thousandths, i.e. 91,6% of gold
- 18 carats are 750 thousandths, i.e. 75 % of gold;
- 14 carats are 585 thousandths, i.e. 58,5 % of gold;
-   9 carats are 375 thousandths, i.e. 37,5 % of gold.

Considering the foregoing, TS/27 is a real application in the field of jewellery,
knowing that there is no effect on the gemstones which could be set on a jewel
