Self-cleaning tile also improves air quality

Aug. 11, 2010

HydroTect tile is embedded with photocatalysts to help decompose organic materials such as dirt, soot, grime, and oil, and biological organisms like mold and allergens that collect on building surfaces. The photocatalysts also help convert nitrous oxides and sulfuric oxides—both significant factors in smog—to molecules that are beneficial to the environment, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, sulfate, and nitrate.
