AZIONE ANTI-ODORE
Le superfici ACTIVE sono in grado di degradare
le principali molecole responsabili dei cattivi odori
che vengono così eliminati, rendendo gli ambienti
più gradevoli.
AZIONE AUTO-PULENTE
Grazie alle proprietà fotocatalitiche di ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
, lo sporco aderisce meno alla
superficie delle lastre, che risultano più facili e
veloci da pulire.
(EN) We all need to inhabit the spaces where we
spend our daily lives safely and freely, without
sacrificing design. The materials we choose for
architectural and interior decoration projects must
therefore guarantee maximum well-being and
protection of our health in a simple and lasting
way. ACTIVE SURFACES
®
are the 100% Italian
answer which, in addition to being aesthetically
beautiful, fulfil the need for well-being and safety.
ACTIVE SURFACES
®
is the only ISO certified
and internationally patented photocatalytic,
antibacterial, antiviral and anti-pollution ceramic
in the world, successfully used around the world
over the last 10 years. ACTIVE SURFACES
®
products are high quality ceramic porcelain for
floors and walls, suitable for indoor and outdoor
areas and for cladding rooms and furnishings
in personal care or food preparation and
consumption settings like kitchen tops, tables,
counters, and preparation surfaces.
THE FOUR ACTIONS OF ACTIVE SURFACES
®
,
THE FOUR WELLBEING PILLARS.
ACTIVE SURFACES
®
exploits the photocatalytic
properties of titanium dioxide combined with
silver, which transforms simple ceramic porcelain
into an eco-active material with new properties
that are:
• ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL
• ANTI-POLLUTION
• SELF-CLEANING
• ANTI-ODOUR
Thanks to the action of light (natural or artificial)
and humidity naturally present in the air, ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
are able to perform these four
essential actions for safety and well-being both
in our homes, in bathrooms, kitchens and living
rooms, for workers and visitors in any public
place, including hospitals, kindergartens, schools,
libraries, airports, stations, bars, restaurants,
hotels, swimming pools, and spas. ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
is the only ceramic porcelain in the
world to retain all its photocatalytic properties
not only under UV light and sunlight, but also
under LED lights, maintaining its antibacterial
effectiveness even in the dark. The action of
ACTIVE SURFACES
®
is constant and lasting.
ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL ACTION
High-performance
ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
ceramics eliminate up to 94% of SARS-CoV-2
virus (responsible for Covid-19) after only 4
hours exposure to UV light (natural daylight and
traditional light bulbs). The study carried out in
March 2021 by the Department of Biomedical,
Surgical and Dental Sciences and Department of
Biomedical Sciences for Health at the University of
Milan, follows ISO Certifications (ISO 21702 - ISO
18061) previously obtained demonstrating over
99% efficacy against four common virus strains:
Pandemic H1N1 and H3N2 Influenza, Enterovirus
71 and Poliovirus. For several years ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
have also held ISO certification (ISO
27447 - ISO 22196) in respect of antibacterial
performance, demonstrating up to 99.99%
degradation effectiveness against common
strains such as Escherichia Coli in addition to
more harmful, antibiotic resistant strains such as
Staphylococcus Aureus MRSA.
ANTI-POLLUTION ACTION
ACTIVE SURFACES
®
is able to convert volatile
molecules of hazardous pollutants such as
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) into harmless substances,
with huge benefits for people’s wellbeing, both
outdoors and indoors.
SELF-CLEANING ACTION
Thanks to the photocatalytic properties of ACTIVE
SURFACES
®
, dirt adheres less to the ceramic
porcelain surfaces, making them easier to clean.
ANTI-ODOUR ACTION
ACTIVE SURFACES
®
are able to degrade the main
molecules responsible for bad odours, making
environments more pleasant.
