Results for tag: "Photocatalytic Coatings"

Photocatalytic coatings are a type of paint or coating that uses light to catalyze a chemical reaction. These coatings are typically applied to the exterior of buildings and other structures, and are designed to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. Photocatalytic coatings are composed of titanium dioxide, which is activated by ultraviolet light. When activated, the titanium dioxide breaks down pollutants in the air, such as nitrogen oxides, into harmless substances. This process also helps to reduce the growth of bacteria and mold on the surface of the coating. Photocatalytic coatings are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. They are also used to reduce the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance of buildings and other structures. Some companies in the photocatalytic coatings market include AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, Sherwin-Williams, BASF, and Kansai Paint. Show Less Read more
