With that accomplished, you should be able to explain to your customers what it s all about. Manufacturing plants, power-generating plants, internal combustion engines, jet engines, etc. Smog, well known in major cities, contains these chemicals. When ozone, water and heat are applied to IFO it becomes acid rain, right on the paint s surface. Only partially Whatever changes the converter accomplishes in the sulfuric compounds are reversed by the effect of ozone and water.
Nitric oxides are additional acid rain components.
The nitrics were originally thought to be a large part of the problem. However, recent data have shown they are not a real contributor to acid rain problems on vehicle paint finishes there are, of course, exceptions. While all manufacturing plants contribute to the nationwide pollution problem, one type stands out as an example of a sever localized producer of acidic contaminates paper or pulp mills. These mills use an acidic process to break down wood fiber. A major portion of the acid compounds utilized is nitric acid.
