LONDON — Research firm Future Markets Inc. has released a new report, The Global Market for Photocatalytic Coatings. Application of photocatalytic coatings on high-touch surfaces reduces the spread of COVID-19 in essential facilities such as hospitals, public transit, daycares and other public spaces.
Photocatalytic self-cleaning coatings are a significant market for nanoparticulate titanium dioxide (TiO2). Nano-TiO2 surfaces (coated with 10-20nm layer of TiO2) are commercially available and have been used — mainly in the Japanese and European markets — in water and air purification, self-cleaning glass, concrete products and a variety of coatings applications.
