Our contribution to innovative products
FOS Photocatalytic paint
Exploiting the properties of photocatalysis, Vitex in collaboration with the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH), PCN Materials and ProVisionAir+ company created the innovative paint with additive, active nanotitania photocatalysts, for the breakdown and degradation of pollutants in indoor spaces, using the visible light. It rids the air of inorganic and organic gaseous pollutants, harmful volatile substances and unpleasant odors.
VITEX FOS was co-financed from the E.U. LIFEVISIONS program (LIFE19 ENV/GR/000100). Participants in the LIFEVISIONS program was: VITEX A.E., Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, NCSR Demokritos, FORTH and the company EVOLUTION PROJECTS+»
VAIRO Healthcare Technology
It is the innovative VAIRO Healthcare Technology developed by the R&D department of VITEX S.A. during the previous months, that corresponds to the requirements and the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With VAIRO technology, the paint inhibits the growth of viruses and bacteria – including SARS-CoV2 – and virtually nullifies their ability to be transmitted through painted surfaces.
PRODUCT
Meteo Works
Climate change and the need for sustainable cities led Vitex to develop products that incorporate Meteo Works technology to adapt paints to new conditions. The acrylic paint ACRYLAN MAX, whose composition is based on this technology, can be applied in extended limits of ambient temperature and humidity (5 – 45 0C & 50%RH) even in the midst of unpredictable extreme weather conditions, compared to the corresponding paints that are available on the market.
