The Mad Scientist Newsletter - #13

Here at Eureka Chemical Company we are constantly looking for different ways to test our product's effectiveness, and we just happen to have the mad scientists in our lab that will always jump at an opportunity to conduct a test. When there's no testing going on, they just stare at the testing equipment like a couple of kids through the front window of a candy store drooling for a chance to raid the counter and gorge themselves. It's really kind of sad. Eager to satisfy their yearnings and curiosity, we try to always give them something new to test, or test against, and as a result we have yet to find a competitive product that we can’t beat. If you don’t believe me, after their own initial comparative products tests came back so positive, we hired an independent lab to verify their dramatic results. Check out the week-by-week comparison test we had conducted to show just how effective Fluid Film is against the competition. I just finished putting up the week-by-week results and can’t wait to show it off.

Our brilliant mad scientists have also recently conducted a few different in-house tests to examine Fluid Film’s effect on greenery, as well as its effectiveness after being exposed to high heat. Read on and look at the pretty pictures:

In this first test, our mad scientists, er, our chemist and laboratory assistant sprayed a heavy dose of Fluid Film on a few plants around our manufacturing facility (They've grown a little sensitive to the whole 'mad scientist' thing). These pictures were taken over a week after the plants were sprayed. If you scroll down you will see that there was no browning or burning of the plant and the flower in the picture actually bloomed after the plant was sprayed. This test was conducted months ago and the plants have never shown any ill effects. This test just shows how safe Fluid Film is to use under the deck of your lawnmower, or on hedge trimmers or clippers, or anywhere that Fluid Film could come in contact with greenery.

I know this for a fact, since when I was shooting the lawnmower video for our home and garden page; it took a few takes due to my inability to speak effectively. It felt like I had just received a shot of Novocain from my dentist:

"The cowwosive effecths of lawn fewtilizews and hewbisithdes..."

Needless to say by the time it was done there was enough Fluid Film on that patch of lawn to make all the dogs in the neighborhood jealous, and I was sure that the next day it would look just like that. A big patch of "I-claim-this-spot-in-the-name-of-Fluid-Film."
To my own amazement, that patch never showed any sign of ill effects, and since then I have never hesitated to spray Fluid Film liberally around foliage. Anyway, here are the pictures of the test results:

Fluid Film contains no harmful solvents and has less that 1% VOC's, making it an environmentally safer choice for gardening and agricultural needs.

Now, moving on to test number two.

We have received some questions regarding Fluid Film's ability to hold up under high heat, so we put our esteemed laboratory personnel to work conducting another test to determine how well Fluid Film would perform. What they did was take a 3" x 6" smooth finish cold-rolled steel (CRS)-SAE 1008/1010 panel and sprayed it with Fluid Film, then hung it inside an oven, raising the temperature to 300°F. They then left the panel hanging inside for a full 15 minutes at that temperature, letting the heated material drip off. In order to determine just how viable the remaining material was, they then placed the sample panel in a salt fog chamber consisting of a humidified solution of 5% salt water for a full week, which is a standardized accelerated weathering test designed to provide reliable indications of future performance.
This is what the panel looked like when finished:

You can make your own conclusions as to how effective Fluid Film is in a high heat atmosphere.

That's it for now. God only knows what our lab is testing Fluid Film on now. All I know is that I have petitioned to have extra thick walls built around the testing lab. Those guys are crazy.
