Anti Virus Face Mask: Mask that kills Bacteria and Virus!

What is Photocatalyst?

Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll of plants is a type of photocatalyst. chlorophyll captures sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.

Photocatalysis

Photocatalysis creates a strong oxidation agent to breakdown any organic matter to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of a photocatalyst, plus the UV rays from either the sun or an artificial light source (such as fluorescent lights).

Why Nano Coated ApatiteTiO2 Mask?

Numerous materials are under examination; however, none appear to match the efficiency of Nano Apartite Titaniumdioxide (TiO2).

Research on titanium dioxide and its derivatives has dominated over other materials and nano apartite titanium dioxide is the only photocatalyst that has seen industrial application.

Nano Apartite titanium dioxide is the only photocatalyst that works both in UV light and normal room lights.

99% suppression recorded

Anti-Bacterial Effect

Photocatalyst does not only kill bacteria cells, but also decompose the cell itself. The titanium dioxide photocatalyst is more effective than any other antibacterial agent. Disinfection by titanium oxide is three times stronger than chlorine, and 1.5 times stronger than ozone.

Air Purifying Effect

The photocatalytic reactivity of titanium oxides can be applied for the reduction or elimination of polluted compounds in air such as NOx, cigarette smoke, volatile compounds arising from various construction materials, to protect lamp-houses and walls in tunneling, as well as to prevent white tents from becoming sooty and dark.

Water Purification Effect

This technology is very effective at removing further hazardous organic compounds (TOCs) and at killing a variety of bacteria and some viruses in the secondary wastewater treatment. Pilot projects demonstrated that photocatalytic detoxification systems could effectively kill fecal coli form bacteria in secondary waste water treatment.

Deodorizing Effect

Air purifier with Ti02 can prevent smoke and soil, pollen, bacteria, virus and harmful gas as well as seize the free bacteria in the air by filtering percentage of 99.9% with the help of the highly oxidizing effect of photocatalyst (Ti02).
