This porous coating is created from microscopic “beads” of titanium oxide mixed with potassium silicate or potassium liquid glass. This paint can “absorb” fine industrial dust and hazardous heavy metal particles that are often found in the air of industrial cities.
It is enough to periodically wash the paint with water, after which it will restore its properties. This opens the door to a variety of applications, from painting buildings to road markings.
This development was based on nature, namely plant leaves that use microscopic stomata to absorb street dust particles.
This paint is environmentally friendly and can be used to cover the walls of houses, industrial facilities, sidewalks and even paint road signs.
