Air Clean® contributes to a healthier and less polluted environment, making a positive impact on the environment and improving people’s quality of life.

Air Clean®

Air Clean® photocatalytic materials

Photocatalytic treatments reduce toxic compounds in the atmosphere and make it possible to kill bacteria and fight germs. Thus taking care of people, the environment and public spaces.

Air clean® floor coverings reduce air pollution by means of a photocatalysis decontaminating agent. Under the effects of sunlight, it decomposes pollutant oxides (NO_x) into by-products that are discharged into the rainwater.

Scientifically proven efficacy

Laboratory testing: The degradation of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) is determined according to the UNE 127197-1:2013 standard. These tests measure the % of NO_xdegradation, an indicator of the photocatalytic and decontaminating capacity of the material. Air Clean® photocatalytic flooring has been certified as class 3 (% NO_x removal >8,0%), the highest category within the standard.

On-site testing:The effectiveness of Air Clean® pavements has also been verified through on-site trials. Even under unfavourable climatic conditions, the results obtained have been highly satisfactory.

Studies conducted:

Life Photoscaling:

Study coordinated and executed by the prestigious Eduardo Torroja Institute of Construction Sciences. NO_x reduction values of more than 30%. Year 2019.

Plaza Can Rosés, Barcelona:

Study carried out together with the Barcelona City Council and coordinated and verified by SGS, giving average NO_x reduction values of 25.4 %.

Fraunhofer Institute:

Paving of a street in Erfurt, Germany with Air Clean® photocatalytic pavers and the results obtained showed an average reduction of 20% of NO₂ and 38% of NO. Study conducted by the German Federal Foundation for the Environment. Year 2006.

Air purification performance:

In 1 hour, 1 m² of Air Clean® photocatalytic flooring is able to degrade 37.3% of NO_x = 77.6 mg NO_x /m² hour.

This is equivalent to 4.6 times more decontamination capacity than the maximum stipulated by the standard: Class 3 (NO_x removal >8,0 %).

The Iberian Association of Photocatalysis (AIF), of which Breinco is a founding partner, helps to create a healthier environment with lower levels of pollution.
