Legal action

There have been many cases of legal action being taken against businesses due to illness or damage caused through the lack of air filtration and providing cleaner fresher air, as it is the company’s responsibility to look after the working atmosphere.

Air conditioning is also important in an indoor atmosphere as the right temperature creates a comfortable working environment. There are systems that incorporate the two different features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deodorizing  VOC and Odor Remediation

 

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. 

 

Sterilizing Anti-Bacterial and Mold Prevention

 

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.  

 

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.
