The Story of Self-Cleaning Glass
|
1) It's "Photocatalytic": This is the name given to the chemical reaction to ultraviolet (U.V.) rays from natural daylight. Pilkington Active Glass breaks down and loosens organic dirt particles from the glass within 48 to 72 hours.
2) It's "Hydrophilic": The glass sheets the rainwater and spreads evenly over the surface, never leaving unsightly drying spots.
3) YOU CAN SEE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN OUR CLEAN GLASS, AND WITHOUT THE CHORE OF EVER CLEANING. |
Self-Cleaning Windows
No More Pain in the Glass
Window washing is one of the most hated household tasks. But, glass maker Pilkington has developed Activ, a window glass that cleans itself.
The glass is coated with titanium dioxide, which attracts water and makes it run down the glass in a continuous sheet. That pushes off dirt particles and diffuses dust evenly across the window. Even without water, the glass can clean itself: Exposed to sunlight for several days, the titanium dioxide slowly breaks down organic dirt into carbon dioxide and water vapor.
