TiO2 nano-coatings are a ground-breaking new range of products that, with the aid of light convert all sorts of unwanted pollutants and contaminants into harmless chemicals. That means that any surface you apply these coatings to become self-cleaning pollution-reducers!
Pollution Reducing
Our coatings have been proven to reduce the following regulated pollutants from the air and also from water running over coated surfaces into drains:
- Fine Dust (Particulate)
- Benzene
- Nitrogen dioxide
- Sulphur dioxide
- Ozone
Levels of these pollutants in the air are now regulated both by EU and our own government. We collected data on NO2 concentrations for 9 different locations in London and found all of them were over the annual mean limit. Please see the Nitrogen Dioxide Readings for London 2006-2007 document.
Self Cleaning
Self-Cleaning is achieved by breaking down the bond between the surface and the dirt. The dirt can then be very easily washed away by simply rinsing or by rain – just imagine the savings from cleaning costs!
Applications
The coatings come in a selection of colours, including a fully transparent version, which can be applied to things such as monuments – to reduce stone cleaning costs. So with that knowledge you can begin to imagine the endless applications, so we’ve listed but a few below to get you started:
Pollution Reducing
- Pavements
- Roads
- Tunnels
- Subways
- Urban Playgrounds
- Car Parks
Self Cleaning
- Street furniture
- Highway structures
- Buildings
- Bridges
- Monuments
- Road Signs
