What is Nano Titanium Dioxide?

Print
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a strong photo catalyst. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) value comes from its strong oxidizing potential.

Electrons from the surface of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) will be ejected forming 02-ion and OH-ion which will then replace the Carbon atom in the organic compounds.

Hence, tiny organic substances like bacteria, foul smell, viruses, dust mites are converted to Carbon Dioxide and water.

The characteristics of Nano Technology is its ability to convert organic compounds to water and Carbon Dioxide using the O-ion and OH-ion in the air without having to generate its own energy.

The main benefits of this Nano particle are:

  • Highly Stable.
  • Non-Toxic.
  • Sterilizing properties.
  • Deodorizing properties.
  • Anti-Fouling properties.
  • Hydrophilic – self-cleaning, anti-soiling & anti-fogging property.

Using energy from light, Titanium Dioxide creates two oxidation reactants; hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anions which decompose toxic organic substance by oxidation. Because of this, it is commonly used in paints, cements, anti-fogging coatings, toothpastes, food dye and many more products.
