Photocatalysis

Photocatalysis is a chemical process that uses a catalyst, often made of titanium dioxide (TiO2), activated by light, usually in the form of UV rays. When exposed to light, this catalyst breaks down air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. This process is commonly used in air purifiers, air fresheners, and certain surface coatings (such as paints or tiles) to improve indoor air quality and combat indoor air pollution.

Through this process, photocatalysis helps purify indoor air by eliminating allergens, bad odors, and reducing the concentration of dust particles or other pollutants present in the air. An air purifier equipped with a photocatalysis system can thus offer an effective solution to maintain a healthy atmosphere in spaces such as a bedroom or office.

Air purifiers using photocatalysis are particularly recommended for people suffering from allergies or respiratory problems, as they optimize air quality without harmful chemicals. This type of system, when combined with technologies such as an air ionizer, can provide a comprehensive solution for purifying the air in your home.
