Qivation adopted the Nano Photocatalytic Technology it can initiate a 24/7 round-the-clock disinfection cycle, decomposing airborne viruses, odor, bacteria, and other pollutants with visible light. The pollutants will be absorbed when there is no light, once the light is on, the pollutants shall then to decomposed. Once activated, it will operate around the clock. Combination with our own application technology to maximize the effectiveness of Photocatalsyt TiO2 materials.

How Does
Photocatalysis Work

  1. Photocatalysis uses light as a catalyst to initiate a chemical reaction after absorbing light energy. The process releases electron (-) from surfaces.
  2. The process allows the Oxygen (O2) and moisture (H2O) in the air to generate O2- (Superoxide anion) and generates •OH (hydroxyl radical), respectively.
  3. The O2- (Superoxide anion) and •OH (hydroxyl radical) generated will then create a redox effect in which the tiny organic substances (e.g., bacteria, odour, unpleasant smell, virus) are then converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
  4. The conversion decomposes organic compounds and releases them into the air

Absorb and decompose pollutants, converting them into clean air 24/7 

 

The technology can minimize the Organic substances inclusive pollutants (e.g bacteria, odour, unpleasant smell, virus) laying or near Qivation TiO2 Product removing odor and formaldehyde thru a normal air convention then the pollutants absorbed at the surface of Qivation TiO2 Product even with no light, the pollutants shall then decompose by touching on the surface of Qivation TiO2 Product by visible light or sunlight then converting them into clean air, purifying the air of the surrounding. Absorb and decompose pollutants, converting them into clean air 24/7 


application

Qivation has mastered the application of PIAJ Nanophotocatalyst Application Technology. We successfully use this technology with different materials, shapes, and functions. Qivation has developed a specific formula for each of our products. Our methods significantly enhance the functionality and efficiency of Nanophotocatalyst.

piaj

We adopted the “Nano-Photocatalytic Technology” from Japan, the recognized technology and materials by PIAJ (Photocatalysis Industry Association of Japan) for our Products and Services. The TiO2 (purification materials) are produced in Japan and with PIAJ certification. The PIAJ Association is the most authoritative standard for purification materials in Japan. The PIAJ testing standard is in accordance with the JIS  (Japanese Industrial Standard) and ISO Standard, which is the highest and recognized standard in Japan. The issuance of a PIAJ certificate must meet the performance standards, which are measured and examined through standardized and stringent testing procedures. 

wiz

In our Lighting Q - WiZ series, we adopted the Smart lighting software solutions by WiZ Connected of Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) offers a range of up to 64,000 adjustable shades of white and lightness and up to 16 million colors with preset well-being and dynamic light mode.  Combined with our Nanophotocatalyst Technology of PIAJ and our own application technology. The technology allows us to design safe, immersive, durable uniquely and 24/7 antibacterial and anti-virus home products, which reduces domestic health risks and creates a comforting lifestyle setting. 


Advanced Technology Composition with Pure Water

The use of TiO2, which we apply is the nano photocatalyst technology. This technology revolutionizes the traditional application of photocatalysts as it no longer requires binders, alcohol, or other harmful materials.

Composition with water-soluble titanium dioxide and pure water only, it is harmless to humans and animals with tests proven

 

PIAJ certified and Production in Japan

Durable and Sustainable Solution

 

The Nano-photocatalyst materials with Qivation application technology offer

  • a strong and durable coating applied on the product surface for long-lasting protection
  • Semi-permanent substances with a hardness of 5H and hard to peel off
  • able to keep the colours and surface quality of the product from deteriorating easily.
  • The material achieved JIS D 0205:1987 standard  *“Accelerated Weather test". which proves that under the conditions of outdoor exposure to weather (without artificial scratching or wiping), the maximum durability of the material can reach *8 to 10 years Under normal maintenance conditions compared to similar products without our technology, Products are much more durable** , and as a result, have less waste disposal

 

Sustainable products and solutions to protect your health and the environment. 

 

#The picture is a project in Japan. It can be seen from the picture that there is a big difference between coated and uncoated surfaces and the effect can still be maintained after one year.

Coated surfaces initiate Antibacterial, Air purification effects, Durable, less waste disposal and sustainable too. Meets the environmental, social and corporate governance ESG development goals.

*Artificially generate sunlight (mainly uv)/temperature/humidity (regular rainfall) and observe the deterioration rate of paint and building materials, the promotion rate is several to a hundred times that of outdoor exposure.

**The durability of titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts also depends on maintenance conditions. If it is scratched or wiped frequently, it will fall off/fail faster, and conversely, the validity period will be longer.
