Ask us about our new Pollutant eating coating which we can apply to your flags!

EnhanceAir®, Powered by PURETiTM Light-activated coating that destroys air pollution.

When applied to outdoor advertising media, EnhanceAir turns any treated material into an air purifying surface that not only enhances human health, but contributes to the fight against global warming.

• The coating is transparent and does not impact the appearance or durability of the ad itself.
• Typically applied as the last step in the printing process.
• No changes are required in the installation process.
• It does not affect the recyclability of the material.

THE SCIENCE OF ENHANCEAIR: PHOTOCATALYSIS

When UVA light energy activates the coating, it starts a chemical process that turns nearby oxygen and water vapor into two powerful cleaning agents (OH-* and O2-*)

• These two cleaning agents convert pollutants into harmless minerals and gasses.

• The active mineral is a catalyst, so it is not consumed in the process. It continues to work as long as it is on the surface and has access to humidity and light.

• The process happens only at the surface and repeats constantly to clean the surface and the air that comes in contact with it.

Why NOx?

Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are formed during combustion. NOx is harmful in several ways:

• It irritates airways and increases susceptibility to allergens.

• It combines with other pollutants in the air to create smog, acid rain, PM2.5 and ground level ozone, which contributes to global warming.

• Increases risk of heart disease, stroke, COPD, and lung cancer.

• It has a much higher Global Warming Potential than CO2.

NOx is an indirect greenhouse gas. It does not trap heat directly, but leads to the creation of other gases, like ozone, that are greenhouse gases. It is included on the list of gases that countries report in their greenhouse gas inventories.

EnhanceAir fights climate change and improves human health by destroying NOx and other pollutants. It helps lower the greenhouse gas footprint, but not the carbon footprint.

Proven Laboratory and Real World Results

Using a test based on the ISO 22197-1 standard, we pass a fixed amount of NOx across a treated surface where the air is in contact with the surface for only 1 second on average before being replaced by new polluted air at the same concentration. The concentration of NOx is measured as it exits the chamber.

To help us process your artwork and orders efficiently please ensure your artworks meet the following requirements:

• The artwork has been placed on the correct template, which will be sent to you.
• All important images, text or logos are placed within the safe zone of the template.
