Features of our patented photocatalyst material : 

Long-lasting / anti-bacterial / anti-viral/ anti-mold / deodorizing / decomposing formaldehyde / TVOC / SOx and NOx .  

  

 

History of Photocatalyst Evolution

• In 1950, the discovery of photocatalysis was done by  a Japanese inventor.

    

• In 1972,  Japanese professor Hujishima discovered water breakdown by TiO but 

       some problems  were also found as below : 

1. Narrow light bandwidth to energise TiO 

2. High cost of material and production process but low reaction rate 

3. Organic material would also be broken down. 

​

• In Nov 2002,  Professor Hiroshi of Japan National AIST broke the rules of prior limitation, and obtained international invention patent in 2007 about new GENERATION  of Photocatalyst called Apatite Nano TiO2 solution.  Breakthrough features :      

​

1./  Active photocatalysting under weak, visible light and performs 4X faster than the prior arts ;

        

2./  Safe to human, surface / paint, decomposing organic odor, HCHO, NOx, and SOx ;

       

3./  Material and production cost reduced, and the product safe to human, pets, plants and marine ;

​

4./  Solvent / binder / pigment / microcapsule free ;

 

5./  Antibacterial, antivirus , antimold and odourless. 

      

​

Currently, our SN-568 and MEK are the commercialised products from the National AIST and Produced by  Nanowave in Japan.

​

​

• SN-568 and MEK were passed the strictest safety and performance approval by PIAJ

      ( Photocatalysis Industry Association of Japan )  

      

​

Therefore, both have being applied in Japan domestic market over 10 years like airport, hospital, school, elderly nursing house, office, house, agriculture, farm, etc.
