Why is this new coating so beneficial for window cleaners? It leaves a hydrophillic coating - therefore sheeting when using a water fed pole that will give better results opposed to the generic applications now that make windows hydrophobic. Self-cleaning glass is already available by several window manufacturers. It significantly reduces the need to clean the glass; titanium dioxide is the active ingredient. Titanium Dioxide has been used for over 50 years in many consumer applications such as cosmetics, sun tan lotions, toothpaste, cake icing, paints, and more. Today, by scientifically suspending these nano-sized, crystallized, titanium dioxide particles in water it has made TiO2 commercially viable for all types of surfaces both natural and artificial.
What is titanium dioxide? What is a photo catalyst?
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an anti-microbial metal created by a process which crystallizes titanic iron ore into a nano liquid form. When exposed to UV light in the sub 400 range, TiO2 becomes a photo catalyst oxidizer (PCO) as well which creates hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions which are two times stronger disinfectants than chlorine and 1.5 times stronger a disinfectant than ozone. TiO2 is safe and widely used in many household products such as toothpaste, food, and teeth whitening solutions. The advent of nano technology, in other words making tiny particles out of metals that can penetrate most surfaces, has lead to several Japanese patents utilizing this nano TiO-2 photocatalytic solution which has many wide ranging applications and has experienced years of successful use in the Japanese marketplace. For instance the government uses this solution in some public bathrooms to keep them smelling fresh and more importantly maintenance free. TiO2 coatings are applied to some highway guard rails to keep them looking new amidst constant bombardment from hydrocarbons and VOC's from vehicle exhaust. The outside of some Japanese high rises are treated with TiO2 solution to make the glass and metal maintenance free, no more need to clean the windows, they resist water and grime. TiO2 coatings are also widely used in the healthcare, food, janitorial, auto, and construction business. Many homeowners treat their mini-blinds, windows, furniture, bathrooms, showers, carpets, flooring, etc with similar TiO2 solutions to reap the benefits of VOC free, clean, fresh indoor air on top of the huge benefit of maintenance free surfaces. When microorganisms, smog, viruses, VOC, or any organic material comes in contact with the TiO2 treated surface, it also becomes oxidized. Even fabrics treated with this revolutionary substance will not retain odors. Car interiors treated with Nano TiO2, even when submitted to second hand smoke from several people for prolonged periods of time, will not retain any tobacco odor.

Are TiO2 coating harmless to humans? Nano TiO2 liquid is completely harmless to human bodies and is actually used widely as a food additive. (View test results) Nano TiO2 liquid is made with a patented binding process that makes it possible for this liquid to penetrate and form a permanent bond with surfaces. It is not for human consumption in this nano liquid form of course. However, after it dries to form a film on a substance, it becomes one with the surface. Nano TiO2 liquid should not be applied directly on pets or animals. It can and should be used however to keep pet bedding from retaining odors.
How does Nano TiO2 liquid prevent and remove contamination from surfaces? The reason why airborne contaminants such as second hand smoke, car exhaust, molds, VOC's, viruses, bacteria, etc cannot adhere to surfaces treated with Nano TiO2 liquid is that they become oxidized by the photo-catalytic oxidation and float away as harmless substances.
Why does Nano TiO2 liquid have a sterilizing and anti-microbial effect?
The old standard for killing airborne microorganisms has been strong UVC radiation. (Over 20,000 microwatt's of UVGI per second) UVC germicidal radiation kills microbes by destroying their DNA. However, some microorganism, anthrax most notably, have very strong DNA coatings and can resist even 30,000 microwatt's of UVGI. Our Nano TiO2 liquid works in a different way. Titanium dioxide decomposes and destroys the cell membrane, not the DNA. Most microbes are single celled organisms so they die quickly when any part of them comes in contact with a coated surface. Accordingly, titanium dioxide even kills MRSA (Staphylococcus Aureus) a major cause of hospital infections. Our TiO2 solution has also been proven to even kill other types of microbes that are not even killed by antibiotics! (TiO2 is not selective on types of microorganism it kills, it kills them all). For this reason, Japanese hospitals have shown great anti-bacterial results with our particular patented brand of TiO2 solution. In addition, our Nano TiO2 liquid decomposes toxins that are discharged when microbes die (Verotoxins, Enterotoxins), rendering them into harmless vapors.

GREAT BLOG! I was just researching the technology before I purchased these Wellnesslight Kids lights all the parents at my boy's school rave over. They think it is the best thing since sliced bread, however, I wanted to double check. Looks like everything you wrote and everything I read match up! Thanks for the help - looks like I'm buying some lights! lol
Best of luck to ya mate!
