What is a Photocatalyst paint?

Photocatalytic paint is a type of functional paint with a self-cleaning function. Self-cleaning is a function that cleans dirt and keeps it clean with only the power of nature such as the weather, without human intervention. When titanium oxide contained in the photocatalytic paint reacts with the ultraviolet rays of sunlight, active oxygen is generated. Since active oxygen has the property of decomposing air pollutants, it suppresses the adsorption of dirt on the painted surface. In addition, because the photocatalytic paint is hydrophilic, water adheres to it in rainy weather, forming a layer of water and at the same time washing away dirt.

Application of Photocatalyst paint

Photocatalytic paints are used to paint exterior walls that are difficult to maintain on a regular basis, but their construction performance is not as high as other paints. It is a functional paint with a self-cleaning effect and shows excellent durability. Fluororesin paint, which is a high-grade paint, has a service life of 15 to 20 years, and photocatalytic paint also boasts the same durability. Therefore, it may be used for high-rise buildings where you want to reduce the number of maintenance. The initial investment is very high due to the high quality paint, but it has the advantage of reducing running costs.
