Through the ecotio₂ range of revolutionary products, we are moving our industry forward towards self-cleaning coatings that maintain the beauty of a surface while sustainably extending its life.
Functional Coatings
Our passion to create beautiful surfaces through long-lasting colour applications led us to pioneer the launch of functional and protective coatings in our local building and construction industry.
The benefits of photocatalyst coatings
Our ecotio₂ range of functional and protective coatings are active surface catalysts designed to break down organic matter. They resolve three common, costly, and unsightly problems in the built environment.
CONCRETE CARBONATION
Seals the pores on concrete significantly slowing the rate of carbonation
GRAFITTI STRIKES
Prevents graffiti from clinging to the surface avoiding the need for abrasive cleaning
MOULD & STREAKING
Breaks down mould forming algae particularly relevant in light-coloured facades
The use of functional and protective coatings means surfaces and buildings look almost as good as new. Lifecycle and cleaning costs are significantly reduced in addition to the building material having extended life.

Endless possibilities from exterior to interior surfaces
Surface catalysts are one of the most exciting innovations that have happened in the building industry. From an external building perspective, these coatings use the natural power of light to preserve surface appearance with the double benefit of extending the lifecycle of an asset AND reducing its maintenance costs.
They are active coatings that can also be used in the interior of any building or form of public transport including workplaces, schools, universities, hospitals, shopping centres, retail stores, apartment buildings, public toilets, hotels, airports, aeroplanes, buses, trams and trains. Basically, any place that can benefit from an eco-friendly solution to clean air and a clean surface environment.

- Reduced cleaning cost
- Longer asset life
- Air purifying properties
Internal Surface Benefits
- Improved air quality
- Antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-mould properties
- Reduced maintenance/ cleaning costs
- Deodorising
- Reduced VOCs
Functional Coatings delivering a Stunningly Sustainable result
