Novapure Appointed as Canadian Master Distributor of Green Millennium Photocatalytic Coatings New Nanotechnology Created to Address Airborne and Surface Contaminants
April 26 2005 Green Millennium Inc based in Los Angeles California has appointed Novapure Systems Inc of Calgary Alberta Canada Master Distributor
for the Green Millennium line of new photocatalytic coatings
for the Canadian market Photocatalytic coating solutions are a direct result of nanotechnology research and are very effective for selfcleaning and hygienic applications States George Tseng of Green Millennium Our coatings can be applied on most surfaces and will impart selfcleaning properties to any surface Additionally the surface coating will purify the air by oxidizing airborne fumes and odors This product is truly an early benefit of nanotechnology and one of the first commercial products derived from nanotechnology research
The coatings known as photocatalytic coatings are usually applied like a spray paint are not toxic and are very costeffective The photocatalytic coating solutions have been used for years in Japan where they were originally developed to combat air pollution infectious microbes and soiling of exterior surfaces When applied the treated surface oxidizes contaminants in the presence of light The result is a selfcleaning surface which will degrade any organic substances such as grease oil soot or microbes The result is that the surface remains clean and attractive instead of becoming soiled or faded adds Tseng
The coating is used in Japanese hospitals to combat disease transmission eg MRSA Staphylococcus aureus C diff and reduce sickness in day care facilities and schools as well as offices and homes Many people with respiratory illnesses eg asthma allergies can benefit As well building exteriors signage and awnings are treated to retain their beauty and eliminate costly cleaning A side benefit is that sun damage eg discoloration is lessened Treated surfaces will not discolor or age as quickly as untreated surfaces This will add years to the life of awnings signage and paint and save millions of dollars in replacement costs
The products are also used for odor control On treated surfaces the nanoparticles in the coating continuously degrade odors and fumes volatile organic compounds in the presence of light The removal of chemical odors makes for a more pleasant environment due to improved indoor air quality and it can also provide relief for people with chemical sensitivities
We are proud to be working with the leading supplier of photocatalytic coatings says John Pink President of Novapure The Green Millennium product is a superior solution Once people fully appreciate the benefits of these coatings there will be innumerable uses
for the technology It really is exciting to be involved with technology that is not only effective but one that is safe and doesn't harm the environment To address the expected demand the product will be marketed through trained distributors and applicators The photocatalytic coatings industry already a multibillion dollar market in Japan and the Far East is only in its infancy in North America
