What is titanium dioxide? What is a photo catalyst?
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an anti-microbial metal created by a process which crystallizes titanic iron ore into a nano liquid form. When exposed to UV light in the sub 400 range, TiO2 becomes a photo catalyst oxidizer (PCO) as well which creates hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions which are two times stronger disinfectants than chlorine and 1.5 times stronger a disinfectant than ozone. TiO2 is safe and widely used in many household products such as toothpaste, food, and teeth whitening solutions. The advent of nano technology, in other words making tiny particles out of metals that can penetrate most surfaces, has lead to several Japanese patents utilizing this nano TiO-2 photocatalytic solution which has many wide ranging applications and has experienced years of successful use in the Japanese marketplace. For instance the government uses this solution in some public bathrooms to keep them smelling fresh and more importantly maintenance free. TiO2 coatings are applied to some highw
