Find out more about them
Every day we come into contact with bacteria that can be particularly hazardous to human health, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the key pollutants for determining outdoor air quality and are also present indoors due to tobacco smoke and city traffic emissions that can get in through doors, windows and ventilation systems.
The spaces we live in contain substances that soil surfaces. Fine powders, cigarette smoke and vapours from cosmetics are only a few of the agents that can stain and damage floors and indoor and outdoor walls.
A multitude of odorous molecules perceived by the nose is dissolved in the air by organic residues deposited on surfaces.
We have created the world's first ceramic that actively fights pollution and cleans itself through photocatalysis.
ACTIVE is perfect for application indoors and for covering walls outdoors.
To show how Active can improve the quality of exteriors, we have conducted a virtual comparative test revealing the benefits of ACTIVE as compared to ordinary ceramic.
Active’s photocatalytic properties allow it to eliminate odours in contact with its surface in 4 to 5 hours.
CONTINUELaboratory tests demonstrate that Active can break down 1000 ppb of NOx in 6 or 7 hours. At concentrations of 200 ppb, 2 to 4 hours are sufficient.
CONTINUELaboratory tests demonstrate that Active, if exposed to natural or artificial light, eliminates 99.99% of the bacteria on surfaces within 8 hours.
CONTINUELaboratory tests conducted with colorants, cigarette smoke, wine and coffee stains demonstrate that when Active is exposed to light, it cleans itself in 10 to 15 days with no need for cleaning products.
CONTINUEThe bacterium primarily responsible for intestinal traumas and gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections and meningitis
One of the Gram-negative bacteria most commonly identified by physicians all over the world, capable of causing bacterial pneumonia.
An antibiotic-resistant bacterium responsible for infections of the bones and skin, of the respiratory tract, of the central nervous system and of the urinary apparatus.
These pollutants are typical in urban areas because they are produced by domestic and industrial combustion processes (vehicle and airplane engines, home heating systems, incinerators…) and by wear to tyres, brakes and asphalt. Their small size makes them a key cause of acute and chronic respiratory and cardio-circulatory pathologies.
Produced primarily by combustion processes in thermoelectric power plants and in vehicles, these are the key pollutants for determining outdoor air quality. Long-term exposure to NOx can result in increased risk of respiratory pathologies, damage the outer surfaces of buildings and monuments and inhibit growth of plants and vegetation.
VOCs have a major impact on climate change. They are contained in vehicle exhaust gases and in the vapours produced by commonly used substances such as cigarette smoke, spray paint, solvents, etc. The acute effects of VOC exposure include irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headache, nausea and fatigue. Chronic effects include damage to the kidneys, liver and central nervous system, and tumours in extreme cases.
Nicotine is an organic compound present in the leaves of tobacco plants. In contact with air, it takes on a dark colour which damages and impregnates surfaces, giving them the classic dark nicotine stain and a foul odour.
Vehicle exhaust and pollutants from city traffic can damage the outer surfaces of buildings and monuments, destroying their original colour and forming deposits on them.
Dirt molecules created by a variety of activities and circumstances easily adhere to outdoor surfaces such as pavements and coverings, compromising their beauty and healthfulness. This is a particularly important problem in high traffic public places.
Organic substances naturally contain molecules that cause odours, which are carried through the air to the nose. Organic substances often give off foul odours when they deteriorate (cheese, fish, meat, fruit, flowers, etc.).
Organic substances naturally contain odorous molecules, which are carried through the air to the nose. There is a practically unlimited quantity of organic substances which give off foul odours when they deteriorate (cheese, fish, meat, fruit, flowers, etc.)
Odours are created by a high concentration of odorous molecules causing negative sensations. They are particularly bothersome in public places such as swimming pools, restaurants and public toilets.
