I was reading the MSDS page for Verdi-Chem, and I wanted to know how it worked on coins on a molecular level, since I was considering buying it to conserve my cent collection. And also, how does it maintain all of the properties of pure water? Boiling point 212 degrees Fahrenheit, Freezing point 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 100% solubility in H2O, am I missing something here?
BadThad, if you could educate me on this that would be great. I've heard awesome stuff about it's results. I'm not a chemist...

I'm not a chemist... BadThad is.  I kinda doubt you're going to squeeze much info from him, as it's proprietary....one of the things I like about the product is that it maintains the properties of pure water. That implies a minimally-invasive chemical action. |

But, if it maintains all of the properties of water, does that mean that it IS water? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

There has to be something besides water involved, as the beneficial effects are well-proven and greatly differ from plain water.

Yes, as I'm looking more it says the pH is 7.5. That is slightly basic compared to water. Typically most cleaning solutions are bases, this makes sense. The MSDS also warns of inhalation, this generally isn't an issue with water!
I wonder if this data just implies the corrosion proof layer part is what is giving Verdi-Chem the basic pH, and the mild health risks as opposed to the "cleaning" part of the solution, which is what I'm wondering about.

BadThad, if you could educate me on this that would be great. I've heard awesome stuff about it's results. I'm not a chemist... If you read the other documentation, you can pretty much understand how it works. VERDI-CAREâ„¢ does contain water, if that's what you're asking. It's physical properties basically mimic water. The actual boiling and freezing points are higher and lower, respectively, than water. The MSDS values are approximate and close enough for regulatory purposes. VERDI-CHEMâ„¢ is one of the few companies that even supplies this much information for a coin product. Edited by BadThad

considering buying it to conserve my cent collection Keep in mind, VERDI-CAREâ„¢ is for problem coins. It was designed to address corrosion and residue issues. It's not really intended for use on coins that are fine by normal collector standards. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I just had a couple of Canadian Large Cents come in that are candidates for Verdi-Care. I have been meaning to order some for awhile now. Perfect excuse to do so!

Shoot I just went to order some Verdi-Care and it was 20 dollars for shipping. I hope I can find it somewhere in Canada!
