The SurfaShield™C provides antibacterial and self-cleaning properties for highly porous surfaces such as concrete, paving slabs, plasters, joints, and natural stone. Leveraging nanotechnology, it ensures continuous functionality of ‘smart’ building surfaces without altering their natural appearance.

The SurfaShield™C it penetrates and binds to the pores of porous surfaces. It then absorbs ambient light, converting light energy into chemical energy: acting as a photocatalytic semiconductor, the light generates short-lived oxidative radicals through reactions with oxygen and water in the atmosphere. Microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, mold, organic stains, environmental pollutants, inks, and odors are gradually eliminated through the action of SurfaShield™.C in the presence of light.

Additionally, it acts as a protective surface shield: interaction with light makes surfaces superhydrophilic. As water flows off without forming droplets, surfaces are much easier to clean, and the accumulation of pollutants that could degrade or damage them is prevented. Enhanced surface protection is achieved when the photocatalytic coating is applied over a prior waterproofing treatment with SurfaPore™.C or SurfaPore™M.

Ideal for protection against organic stains and inks, maintenance and preservation of monuments, self-cleaning walls and plasters, environmental restoration, and odor elimination. It prevents surface darkening and gradual aging, purifies the surrounding air, breaks down pollutants, and inhibits bacterial growth and the proliferation of microorganisms.

Characteristics

• By absorbing light, it transforms surfaces into self-cleaning ones & antibacterial.
• Eliminates eliminates organic stains and exhaust gases, inhibits microbial growth, and removes odors.
• The appearance and texture of the surface remain unaffected.
• Prevents gradual aging of the surfaces, while simultaneously improving indoor air quality.
• It penetrates and binds to the pores of porous surfaces.
• Removes eliminates odors and continuously purifies the air.

Application
For walls, plasters, concrete, mortars, joints, porous stones, and paving slabs.
