MECOPROTECT

Environmental pollution

Within a short time environmental contaminants make surfaces look dirty and generate significant maintenance costs.

Easy to clean

Even small amounts of water are enough to wash dirt particles away from the superhydrophilic surface.

A MECOPROTECT® coated surface can be easily cleaned and remains considerably cleaner if exposed to rain.

Purifies air

The titanium dioxide contained in the coating not only contributes to cleaning the surface, but also is capable of eliminating harmful substances from the air we breathe. TiO2 is a semiconductor. UV light generates electrons on the surface, which then form oxygen radicals. Oxygen radicals break down many harmful pollutants in the air: nitrogen into harmless nitrate, volatile organic compounds into CO2 and water and ozone decomposes into oxygen.

Combats dirt with sunlight

Under the effect of sunlight, the titanium dioxide photocatalytic coating MECOPROTECT® acts as a catalyst and causes decomposition of organic dirt particles. The TiO2 coating is easy to clean and even has self-cleaning properties if directly exposed to rain.

Time is money

Surfaces coated with MECOPROTECT ® require considerably less cleaning if the surface is exposed to rain. Should any dirt adhere to surfaces, small amount of water is generally sufficient to remove it. Surfaces treated with MECOPROTECT® not only stay clean longer, but also make a significant contribution to reducing the maintenance costs of building.
