Photocatalyst Coatings helps to keep buildings and infrastructure looking like new for longer. Surfaces coated in ecotio2® help reduce the absorption of dust and other particles. The coating also works as a water magnet, attracting water particles when it rains, and allowing them to get under any dirt or stains, washing it off.
Reduces absorption of dust and other particles The surface carries no static electric charge, therefore reducing the absorption of dust and other particles.
Prevents dirt from sticking to surface Activated oxygen decomposes dirt clinging on the surface and helps prevent it from sticking.
Decomposition – disintegrates dirt/stains and weakens adhesion to the surface.
Super Hydrophilicity – Water gets under the stain and lifts away for easy cleaning
Photocatalyst Coatings can be used in a range of products and applications including:
Concrete masonry
Tiles
Tensioned membranes
Paint
Building panels
Architectural concrete
Pavers
Brickwork
Glass panels
Windows
Powered by light, Photocatalyst Coatings not only washes off dirt, but it also breaks down contaminates and stains, as shown in the images on the right. Image 1 shows the decomposition process, Image 2 shows a tensioned membrane displayed outdoors at the Photocatalyst Museum (location: Kanagawa Science Park Japan, 2015).
