Strong
Oxidation Power
Hydroxyl
radicals are among the strongest oxidizing species, even much
stronger than chlorine, ozone, and peroxide. They act as very
powerful disinfecting agents by oxidizing the cells of
microorganisms, causing rupture and leakage of vital
composition.

Deodorizing
VOC
and Odor Remediation
|
Sterilizing
Anti-Bacterial
and Mold Prevention
|
|
On
the deodorizing application, the hydroxyl radicals accelerate the
breakdown of any Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs by destroying
the molecular bonds. This will help combine the organic gases to
form a single molecule that is not harmful to humans thus enhance
the air cleaning efficiency.
Some of the examples of odor molecules are: Tobacco odor,
formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, urine and fecal odor, gasoline, and
many other hydro carbon molecules in the atmosphere.

Titanium
dioxide has strong oxidation affects to single-celled organism that
includes all bacteria and fungus. The very strong oxidizing power of
Titanium Dioxide can destroy bacteria's cell membrane, causing
leakage of the cytoplasm, which inhibits bacteria’s activity and
ultimately results in the death and decomposition of bacteria.
Generally speaking, disinfections by titanium oxide is three times
stronger than chlorination, and 1.5 times stronger than ozonation.

Super
Hydrophilic Property
|
Self-Cleaning,
Anti-Soiling and Anti-Fogging
|
|
The
hydrophilic nature of titanium dioxide, coupled with the
gravity, will enable the dust
particles to be swept away following the water stream, thus making
the product self-cleaning.
When
the surface of photocatalytic film is exposed to light, the contact
angle of the phtocatalyst surface with water is reduced gradually.
After enough exposure to light, the surface reaches super-hydrophilicity.
In other words, it does not repel water at all, so water cannot
exist in the shape of a drop, but spreads flatly on the surface of
the substrate. And the water took the form of a highly
uniform thin film, which behaves optically like a clear sheet of
glass.
Most of the
exterior walls of buildings become soiled from automotive exhaust
fumes, which contain oily components. When the original building
materials are coated with a photocatalyst, the dirt on the walls
will wash away with rainfall, keeping the building exterior clean at
all times.
