How does it work?
It is a chemical reaction similar to the chlorophyllic photosynthesis of trees in their absorbtion and transformation of pollutants into non-toxic elements. a special coating of titanium dioxide Tio2 applied to buildings, road surfaces, internal walls, pavements, infrastructure etc can help to break down the nitrogen dioxides found in exhaust fumes, using sunlight, oxygen and water to convert the fumes to harmless nitrates

What pollutants are removed?
NO2, NO, NOX and VOCs (Benzene,Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene) to date have been removed.

How much pollutants are removed?
The range is generally between 25-75% depending on system type, pollution level etc.

Where do the pollutants go?
They are transformed into residual salt which are washed away naturally by rainwater.

Are there any harmless chemicals caused by the process?
Our studies prove that there are no harmful chemicals produced by the process.

How much UV light does the product need to work?
Generally most days in Europe will have more than enough UV light to activate the system.

Will it work on  a cloudy day?
It will, but the brighter the day the more efficient it is.

How long does it last?
Trials are ongoing but original data suggests 5-10 years.

Can it be washed away?
The TiO2 is bound into the paint or cement matrix during production.

Is it easily applied?
It is just like conventional paint.

Can it be easily reapplied?
Yes.

Does the surface look different?
In most cases it is indistinguishable from conventional products, if the road surface requires a very high level of TiO2 then it may appear slightly paler.

Is the production of photocatalytic product pollutant generating?
Studies in this and the toxicology area have been conducted and prove that it is safe.

Why is it not in more common use?
It is  new cutting edge technology that is just completing real life trials after great results in tests in the laboratory and test houses.

Are there any test sites?
In London and Milan.

Can you prove it works?
We are building up external data from the trials to verify this as well as our own test results.
