Экологичность – преимущества фиброцементных панелей KMEW

Air Purifying

The photocatalytic coating decomposes car exhaust and other pollutants in the air (NOx and SOx) and turns them into NO3 harmless polyatomic ions leaving the air cleaner.

Plants purify pollutants such as NOx (nitrogen oxides) contained in car exhaust. The poplar tree is one of the plants that absorbs the most NOx.

The air purification capability of photocatalytic coating is appx. 0.44g/day/sq.ft. (0.04g/day/m2), which is 68 poplar trees per 10,000 sq.ft.

Photocatalytic coated exterior surface of a 10,000 sq. ft. building is equal to 68 Poplar trees

The air purifying properties of the photocatalytic coating for a 10,000 sq.ft. building is equal to planting 68 poplar trees. 10 KMEW panels is equal to planting 1 poplar tree.

Anti-Virus + Anti-Bacteria

The photocatalytic coating will inactivate viruses and bacteria on the outer wall surface.

When the photocatalytic coating is exposed to sunlight (UV rays), the free radical ions generated from the photocatalyst decompose viruses and bacteria on the surface.

Anti-Bacteria Test

Black mold (Cladosporium cladosporioides NBRC63480) was applied on the surface of the photocatalytic coated panels. After one week no mold had grown on the photocatalytic coated surface.

* Based on our internal study

* It does not prove that mold, moss, and algae do not grow on the exterior wall in an actual building.

UV Ray Test - Photocatalytic Coating

One Week Later

KMEW's photocatalytic coating eliminates 99.9% of viruses on the outer wall surface over an 8 hour period.
