THE POWEROF LIGHT

In the presence of any natural or artificial light source, the titanium dioxide (TiO2), through the fission on ACTIVE slabs at high temperatures of micrometric particles, develops a strong anti-pollution and bactericidal action, through the natural photocatalysis process. The reduction of atmospheric pollution and the bactericidal action of the TiO2 are fully documented and unanimously recognised by the scientific community, exalted by the exclusive production method used to fix the particles onto the slabs. This method is free from any danger for production operators and users.

LESSPOLLUTION

The ACTIVE slabs used for floors and walls can significantly reduce the harmful effects of the main atmospheric pollutants (CO-NOx-SOx-VOC). Moreover, they can almost completely eliminate some of the most dangerous bacteria for human health. These characteristics have been certified both by the TCNA, and the Bologna Ceramics Centre. With ACTIVE the "ceramic" is enriched with the exceptional property of interacting with the environment, contributing to purify the air that we breathe and eliminating the bacterial load in the floors and walls of the rooms where we live.

HYGIENICALLYSAFE

Tests performed on ACTIVE slabs guarantee their use both for outdoor coatings and for indoor floors and walls. They can also be used for public buildings with intensive traffic. Thanks to their properties, ACTIVE slabs, properly lit, are particularly suitable for use in all homes, in wellness centres, hotels, restaurants, gyms, schools, health centres, laboratories, hospitals, etc. That is in all areas and environments where high levels of cleanliness and hygiene are required.

LIVE GREEN

On the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx), it is estimated that 1.000 m2 surface area of ACTIVE, radiated by sunlight, has an effect equal to that of 20 timber trees. A 25 m2 wall and/or floor in ACTIVE, properly lit, in addition to almost totally eliminating the bacteria that rest on it, is able to substantially reduce the pollutants present in the air, to the same extent as an average sized tree planted in the middle of the same surface.

CLEAN CITIES

As well as the traditional aesthetic and resistance qualities of the materials made in our plants, ACTIVE slabs also acquire clear anti-pollution and anti-bacterial properties. Outdoor coverings made with ACTIVE slabs are dirt repellent, as photocatalysis prevents smog from settling on them. This practically eliminates the need to use detergents, which is yet another anti-pollution effect. A simple wipe with water, just rain on the wall, and the dirt slips away! Finally, ACTIVE surfaces have derived properties, such as significant reduction in smells, as a result of the elimination of bacteria. Up to 100%
