Lapitec launches Bio-Care self-cleaning building material

In Italy, Lapitec developed a new line of building material that incorporates a special form of titanium dioxide which acts as a catalyst which degrades organic matter through oxidation thanks to the reaction to natural sunlight or artificial lighting (photocatalysis).

Bio-Care is designed and developed to breakdown and wash away the organic atmospheric particles which deposit on the external cladding as well as having a bactericidal effect. Scientific research has also demonstrated how the powerful oxidation properties of Titanium dioxide destroys bacteria (as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus) and mould, fungus and micro organisms reducing the unpleasant odours produced. The Bio-Care line is the perfect choice for locations where you have to guarantee a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene with anti-polluting and self-cleaning properties.
