Razor blades
The invention discloses a novel solution and process comprising a modified solvent for providing enhanced blade edge attributes.
1. A solution for thinning a coating on a plurality of razor blades, said solution comprising one or more defluorination compounds, said one or more defluorination compounds comprising C 14 F n , wherein n=10 to 23, wherein said solution comprises a yellow color due, at least in part, to the one or more defluorination compounds, said yellow color indicating said solution is in an ideal state for thinning said coating.
2. The solution of claim 1 , wherein said one or more defluorination compounds comprise one or more of the following compounds: C 14 F 10 , C 14 F 14 , or C 14 F 18 , or any combination thereof.
3. The solution of claim 1 , wherein a concentration of any one of the one or more defluorination compounds in the solution is less than or equal to about one part per million.
4. The solution of claim 1 , wherein a concentration of said one or more defluorination compounds comprising C 14 F n ranges from about 0.05% to about 3%.
5. The solution of claim 2 , wherein a concentration of said C 14 F 18 compound in said solution is about 0.05% to about 1.0%, a concentration of said C 14 F 14 compound in said solution is about 0.05% to about 1.0%, and a concentration of said C 14 F 10 compound in said solution is about 0.05% to about 1.0%.
