Leveraging innovation and technology, Synergy’s green products offer efficient and effective washing. Regarding sealants and waxes, Synergy’s chemist explains, “The polymeric technology in our cleaners prepare the vehicle’s surface to allow protectants to do their job by creating high water contact angles for drying, increased protection and durability, meanwhile halting redeposition of dirt and grime back onto the vehicle.” These polymer products are continually being improved and advanced as both environmental and other variable factors shift over time. This may not seem like a big deal, but in many ways this is a game changer.Īs paint surfaces evolve (many manufacturers are switching to more environmentally friendly paint technology), the “genetic engineering” part comes into play. Contrary to all those worries, polymer technology can efficiently optimize and simplify these processes without damaging the vehicle surfaces. Many washes struggle with this balance every day. The molecular charge of the dirt, car and chemicals all matter in the results of not only the dirt coming off and staying off the car, but also how it shines and how the water “breaks” (in other words, how dry the car is after the drying process). One headache wash owners run into with traditional methods is the relationship of alkalines and acids regarding the charge of the vehicle’s surface. In fact, the Synergy team even offers different solutions for distinct regions of the country. Furthermore, it’s continually customizable to account for seasonal and geographic changes in cleaning and protection, as well asĮnvironmental (dirt) and surface chemistry (paint and ceramics) variations. In other words, with polymer science and engineering, one can specifically engineer chemicals to interact with distinct surfaces and dirt on a molecularly designed level. In addition to traditional chemistry methods, polymer engineering would be easier to describe as a type of genetic engineering. So how does this use of polymer technology affect carwashing, chemical application and your business in general? Glad you asked.
Having the foresight that innovation and technology rarely lose in the long game of both business and life, and residing just 20 minutes south of Akron, Pete consulted with the University of Akron’s School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering early in his goal to make carwashing simpler, more efficient and most of all, more effective. This has led to Akron being one of the top polymer research areas on the globe. When it comes to polymer innovation and technology, many wouldn’t think of Akron, Ohio, as one of the global hubs however, due to its roots in tire technology (Goodyear, Firestone, General and Goodrich all started in Akron), the heart of Summit County actually accounts for more than 400 polymer-related companies.
