Next-generation photocatalytic technology
Nature has surrounded us with these green and generous friends, who provide us with oxygen and absorb the damaging substances present in the air; unfortunately, due to mankind’s actions, their numbers have decreased dangerously, particularly in cities. Luckily, we have come up with new and magical systems to clean the air: smog-eating paints! By using these systems, we can help both ourselves and the planet.
Tree Equivalent
Equivalent to the air-purifying
power of three trees.
Purifies Air
1 m2 purifies 50 m3 of air per
hour.
NOx Reduction
Reduces 80% NOx in just 2
hours.
Photocatalysis is a process which breaks down (mainly by oxidation) some of the most common polluting and microbial substances in the environment. The process is achieved through the use of “photoactive” substances, that is those activated by sunlight or artificial light.
Photocatalysis is an eco-active cleaning system which removes pollution, kills bacteria and cleans and reduces odours, destroying particles damaging to human health and keeping all surfaces clean and protected against the most common pollutants.
The main “conductor” is titanium dioxide, but its effects in the photocatalysis have nothing to do with those produced by the substance added to creams, preserves and foodstuffs. Not only is this compound completely harmless, but it has proven to be our greatest ally in fighting pollution, so much so that it can even be directly compared to the positive effects of planting oxygen-producing trees.
Through complex chemical
reactions activated by light, a
next-generation mixture is
obtained which is able to
accelerate the oxidation of
polluting organic compounds.
This is achieved through the
oxidative properties of
titanium dioxide, an
extraordinary result that could
significantly improve
environmental conditions.
The application of this
technology leads to significant
savings in the management of
buildings by reducing cleaning
and maintenance costs. This
not only changes the face of
our society by enhancing
environmental conditions but
also represents a smart
economic choice.
Similar to how toxic natural
substances have been
transformed into life-saving
medicines, titanium dioxide in
photocatalytic systems has
proven to be an extraordinary
ally for human health. It comes
with a complete lack of the
side effects often found in
foodstuffs or creams.
Organic and inorganic
atmospheric
pollutants damage the
walls of buildings,
leading to
deterioration and
structural issues.
These pollutants also
harm road surfaces,
causing wear and
reducing their lifespan
significantly.
Our products attack
these substances,
turning them into
harmless powders
which then fall to the
ground.
ECO-COATING is our
innovative solution,
ensuring that the
impact on the
environment is
minimized.
The picture below is worth a thousand words.
The smog-resistant effects are clear to see in
the treated section.
The results in terms of savings and appearance
are easy to understand.
Regardless of the level of pollution a surface is exposed to and the material it is made from, the results are surprising and guaranteed. Dirt is unable to stick to a treated wall, because it is degraded before
accumulating in a layer. Testing by rubbing with a cloth makes it very apparent how the treated environments are protected from the most common deterioration.
You are preparing for an ocean crossing in a sailboat: you have invested a lot and expect everything to
go smoothly, without risks and with the maximum benefits. To whom do you entrust this endeavour? To
a novice skipper, or a well-travelled and expert professional? You would certainly choose the captain
with the most experience and responsibility.
This is why you can trust SSH, a proven, high-quality provider of services for the creation of largescale
infrastructure and improving the quality of the environment on an international level.
Experience and the innovative drive of the company’s founder, Claudio Terruzzi (winner of the “Angelo
dell’anno” – Angel of the Year prize – Environment Category), have made our company the undisputed
international leader in the research, production and sale of photocatalytic products and systems for the
reduction of pollutants. Our close partnership with Cristal Inorganic Chemicals, a world leader in
titanium treatment, has allowed us to develop Ecopittura and Ecopaint brand photocatalytic waterbased
paints.
The titanium dioxide used as the active ingredient in our system is produced using the exclusive pps
(Proactive Photocatalytic System). With zero environmental impact, it offers concrete pollutionreducing
results, certified by studies performed by Italian national research agency CNR.
