THE ONLY FLOOR AND WALL CERAMICS IN THE WORLD ANTI-POLLUTION AND BACTERICIDAL CERTIFIED
WHAT’S IT
Active is a photocatalytic product which exploits all the properties that characterise photocatalytic materials.
PROCESS
It is obtained by applying micrometric particles of titanium dioxide (TiO2), doped with particles of silver, at high temperatures.
ADVANTAGES
It can be used to create superior-quality porcelain slabs for floors and walls, with bactericidal, anti-pollution, self-cleaning and anti-odour properties.
DURABILITY
The effectiveness of Active lasts as long as the life of the slab itself.
ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL
Bacteria and viruses have a short life on an ACTIVE ceramic porcelain surface. Using (natural or artificial, even LED) light and the humidity naturally present in the air, ACTIVE surfaces eliminate 99.99% of bacteria that settle on them, from the most common to the antibiotic-resistant ones. It is also demonstrated that ACTIVE surfaces eliminate particularly contagious viruses: tests performed on the H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses, Enterovirus 71 and Poliomyielitis have confirmed an efficacy of over 99%.
ANTI-POLLUTION
The air is cleaner wherever ACTIVE is installed: ACTIVE surfaces transform polluting molecules (e.g. nitrogen oxides or VOCs, volatile organic compounds) that may be present both inside and outside the building into harmless substances. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) represent the reference pollutant for outdoor air quality. They are also present in high concentrations even in closed places due to tobacco smoke and emissions from city traffic that can penetrate from doors, windows and ventilation systems.
SELF-CLEANING
DIRT IS EASIER TO REMOVE FROM
SURFACES WITHOUT USING
DETERGENTS.
On an ACTIVE surface, dirt adheres
less. Consequently, it is even easier
to clean, without the need for
expensive and aggressive detergents
that are potentially harmful for
people and the environment.
ACTIVE surfaces can be used on the
external façades of buildings, where
the action of rainfall is sufficient
to keep them clean, eliminating
maintenance costs.
ANTI-ODOR
In an environment cladded with ACTIVE SURFACES® has no room for bad odours: thanks to their photocatalytic properties, ACTIVE surfaces eliminate the molecules that cause this unpleasant phenomenon. Thanks to the photocatalytic properties, the odorant molecules, which encountered the Active surfaces, are degraded and destroyed, eliminating the unpleasant odours.
Comprising four types of textures, the ACTIVE SURFACES® porcelain tile range’s effectiveness against bacteria, viruses and pollutants is combined with well-known health and durability properties. Surfaces featuring exquisite workmanship, inspired by the most eclectic materials such as marble, stone and concrete, are available in large formats or more compact sizes to meet all requirements.
