Nanotechnology BackgroundA nanometer is one millionth of a meter (the ratio is the same as that between our earth and a football)

The manipulation, crystallization and encapsulation of these surface atoms in thin film coatings, gives the surface new and novel properties

Researchers have been working for 15 years to develop surface treatments that exploit molecular structures. This is nanotechnology

These coatings can be only a few atoms in size, but hold phenomenal value and functionality

With thin film coating nanotechnology, no nano particles are free-standing. Therefore, there are no environmental, health and safety (EHS) concerns

These coatings are fully EU qualified (REACH compliant) and are commercially available


Ti02 Advanced Research

The use of Ti02 to enhance hygiene has been proved over the last 20 years. It is an accepted food-safe chemical

The latest generation of Ti02 coatings provide the ability to use visible light (not just UV Light) as the cleaning antimicrobial catalyst

These surface treatments represent a compelling new technology for businesses saving millions of pounds in reduced cleaning and operation costs over their lifetime

Excellent for Sustainability. Reduces the use of aggressive chemicals


What is a Photocatalyst?

The nucleus of a atom is surrounded by orbits where electrons are revolving around the nucleus. Electrons responsible for reactions are revolving in a band called valence band. There is a band outside the valence band referred to as the conduction band in Ti02. As it is a compound consisting of different atoms, the valence and conduction bands are complicated, but the principles involved are the same. When light energy is applied externally electrons in the valence band are excited and rise to the conduction band, positive holes are formed and left behind the rising electrons in the valence band. At this time the Ti02 coatings is photo excited. The resulting positive holes show sufficient oxidative power. As Ti02 is dissolved in water, water is oxidized by positive holes forming hydroxyl radicals ( 0H-)which has a strong oxidative power.

Photocatalyst is a material which is sensitive to light and makes a chemical reaction when light strikes it, for example: chlorophyll in green plants is a photocatalytic material creating a chemical reaction when exposed to light.

In the same way, as light hits the coated surface, two oxidation reactants, hydroxyl radicals(0H-) & super oxide anion (O2−) interface.

The two reactants decompose toxic organic substances through oxidation


How does it work? The photocatalytic coating, which is applied in advance with a special sprayer system, is formed of a chemically stable and safe solution of water-soluble titanium dioxide (PH=7). It is developed using unique and patented technology.

The strength of the coating film is exerted by evaporation of water after coating, and the photocatalyst effect is maintained for a long time. 5 years guaranteed!

Atmospheric ammonia is a major aerial pollutant for livestock in poultry sheds. Tio2 is a effective, low risk, economic long term solution to this problem


Antimicrobial & Detoxification ActionThese unique Ti02 coatings contain excellent antibacterial attributes that can evendecompose remnants of bacteria. By light, ( super oxide anion) and OH-(hydroxyl radicals are formed which are the active reactants that kill and decompose micro-organisms.

Decomposition of bacteria, virus and fungus

This means that once surface s are protected, there are no stable substrates for microbes, i.e., bacteria and fungi , etc. to find a space for growth. By creating this simple environment we help reduce MRSA colonization and infection from both acute care and non-acute care facilities.


Research in both Germany and Japan confirm the enormous antimicrobial and detoxification powers of our unique Tio2 coated surfaces, reducing risk of viruses including SARS & Avian flu ( H5N1)

Tests confirm

In addition our coatings have goodantifungal effect on different types of fungie, i.e., Aspergilus Niger & Candida albicans, reducing their concentrationby 34.65% after only 2 hours of contact
