Bietet übrigens seit kurzem eine Fassaden Farbe an, die es ermöglicht über katalytische Reaktionen an der Fassadenoberfläche die verscmutzte Luft zu reinigen und zwar über 15 Jahre lan!!! --> eine Großstadt wird dann zB zu einem riesigen Luftfilter :-) --> sehr interessant. Da würde Dyesols Technologie doch gut dazu passen oder nicht?
CRISTAL’S first partner for using
CristalACTiVTM photocatalysts in paint
formulations, Boysen Paints, has
reached an agreement with US-based
Environmental Imports, Inc. to distribute
KNOxOUTTM Air Cleaning Paint in the
United States.
KNOxOUTTM has made waves in the paint industry
as the first air-cleaning paint in the world with
CristalActivTM technology and its ability to reduce
noxious air pollutants. Aside from the United States,
Boysen KNOxOUT has also established distribution
partners in Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia;
with negotiations ongoing for other countries.
“We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with
Boysen to introduce KNOxOUT to the US,” said Paul
Rode, CEO for Environmental Imports, Inc.
Together with Cristal and the Manila Observatory,
Boysen Paints, the Philippines’ leading paint brand,
has conducted the world’s largest depolluting paint
trial to date at an urban rail transit station along the
busiest avenue in Metro Manila. The trial involved
installation of 15 pollution sensor and painting over
6,200m2 using close to 700 liters of KNOxOUT. It
demonstrated the ability of the material to remove
more than 100g of NOx per m2 per year.
“Air pollution is a problem in most major cities
around the world,” said Johnson Ongking, Vice
President of Boysen. “Eliminating emissions of NOx
and other air pollutants would be the best solution
but that is not yet possible in today’s world. Painting a
wall with KNOxOUT is one of the few ways for people
to take an active part in cleaning out the NOx that we
put in the air. By transforming ordinary walls into air
purifiers with a few brush strokes, people all over the
world can be part of the movement for cleaner air.”
To date, one of the most successful initiatives of
Boysen for the environment is the Boysen KNOxOUT
Project: Everyone Deserves Safe Air (EDSA). This
urban renewal initiative seeks to lessen air pollution
in EDSA, which is considered to be one of the most
polluted thoroughfares in the Philippines. Using
Boysen KNOxOUT as the medium, eight large-scale
art works (measuring 1,000m2 each) done by local
and international artists of note, aimed to purify NOx
emitted by at least 8,000 vehicles. It was a unique
mix of art and science to help raise public awareness
about urban air.
Like many Asian urban centers, Manila’s air is a
health threat to its population. Metro Manila was cited
in a 2005 World Health Organization report as having
the fourth most polluted air in the world. A study by
the World Bank and the Dept. of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) estimated that breathing |
