Innovative paint for interior application, based on active nano Titanium Dioxide photocatalysts, which are product of research and development by the Foundation of Research and Technology -HELLAS (FORTH) and the spin-off company PCN Materials. The paint was developed by VITEX S.A., specifi cally for indoor use by exploiting the properties of photocatalysis using visible light, i.e. light from light bulbs, without the requirement of UV radiation. It breaks down and decomposes pollutants, cleaning the interior air from inorganic and organic gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic compounds (VOCs) and unpleasant odors. The degradation process is on a continuous basis as long as there is artifi cial or natural lighting with zero other additional energy costs. Besides, due to its photocatalytic action, the product is characterized as a self-cleaning paint. It maintains its whiteness and dramatically reduces the need for maintenance, cleaning or repainting for over 7 years. In case of deterioration of the paint surface, repainting is required to recover the original photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic material, paint additive consists of modifi ed nano-Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) produced by the company PCN Materials based on patents registered in Europe (17 countries), China and USA.
- As documented by applications of the product in big projects, it is applied once, and its activity lasts more than 7 years, without the need for additional maintenance or activation costs (e.g. 2014 application at the Stalida tunnel on the NW road axis of Heraklion – Agios Nikolaos Crete. No repainting required until 2024).
