[nanoPost] Photocatalyst coatings

Technology description

- A global supplier of proprietary photocatalyst coatings, recently introduced its newly improved, easy to apply, green, environment friendly, transparent self-cleaning coatings for exterior applications.

- Self-cleaning coating technology utilizes natural photocatalyst and nanotechnology. At the presence of light, the photocatalyst will decompose the organic pollutants. Without the adhesion of organic pollutant, the inorganic pollutants left on the surface can be easily swept away by rain.

- It is effective against organic-based dirt, mould, fungus, moss and protects substrate against UV discoloration. In practice, surface cleaning of building materials like stucco, tiles, facades, aluminum or plastic panels, concrete and glass panes causes considerable trouble, high consumption of energy and chemical detergents and, consequently, high costs.

- self-cleaning technology protects the building’s exterior; once coated, buildings new (or restored) remain clean for many years. As an additional benefit, less water and chemicals are used, less impact on the environment is achieved and building maintenance costs are reduced.

Applications

- coatings to the exterior building materials manufacturing sector and exterior building services sector.

-  New building materials improved by advanced surface nanotechnology are already available on the market; one example is self-cleaning glass which is manufactured by several major companies.

- The company is developing self-cleaning building materials in conjunction with various major manufacturers including several Fortune 500 companies.

- coatings are water based, very easy to apply and are easily integrated into any manufacturing process.

- coatings are designed for exterior applications. For indoor applications, the company supplies hygienic coatings marketed . The company has developed a complete range of environmental services available to license to regional applicators, contractors, entrepreneurs and distributors. Hygienic coatings and other environmental solutions are used by the company to improve indoor environments and to protect against Sick Building Syndrome and surface bio-contamination.
