LIGHT WORKS HT coating

HT-coated ceramic for light-active façades. Focus on façades For several years, the commitment towards energy-efficient buildings has led to a range of problems with façades turning green on account of algae and moss. Environmentally-friendly use of natural resources makes sense but must not stand in the way of economic aspects such as maintenance and operating costs across the entire life of the building. Not to mention the use of chemicals which are detrimental to the soil. One convincing example is represented by façade ceramics featuring the revolutionary HT coating (Hydrophilic Tile)....

HT – breathable air made clean. Activated by light HT technology works without any further chemical treatment – and therefore without any detriments to human health. When exposed to light, the titanium dioxide in the surface glaze triggers a simple physical reaction referred to as photocatalysis. This process releases activated oxygen on the surface which can significantly decompose industrial and car fumes such as NO X* from ambient air. The photocatalytical process acts like an air freshener here: when pollutant molecules come into contact with the façade surface, titanium dioxide as a...

HT – light-active against mould, moss and algae. No greening Active against microorganisms The activated oxygen on the surface of the HT-coated façade released by the photocatalytical process effectively breaks down moss, bacteria, fungi, algae and mould. At the same time, the formation of new microorganisms on the surface of the façade is effectively impeded. This effect is scientifically confirmed by tests conducted by independent research facilities. HT activates oxygen in the air in a photocatalytical process which decomposes microorganisms such as algae and moss. At the same time, new...

HT – light-active to combat soiled façades. The weather is always on your side. Sunlight permits particularly intensive photocatalysis. The antibacterial effect breaks down algae, fungi and moss. When it rains, the following happens: water does not form droplets or balls (“lotus effect”) which ineffectively pearl off or dry leaving unattractive marks but rather a wafer-thin film is formed. This self-washing effect rinses off dirt and soiling. The distinctive self-washing effect means that HT effectively reduces the costs of cleaning across the entire service life of coated façades. This...

HT ceramic: safe, long-lasting – ef ficient. Product guarantee by Deutsche Steinzeug During the production process, the HT coating is bonded permanently at a high temperature with the façade surface – making it practically indestructible. This is even covered by our unique long-term guarantee! The positive tile proper ties are retained. Tiles are: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ colour- and light-fast incombustible free of emissions and solvents resistant to chemicals antistatic thermally conductive HT is permanently burned into the surface. Optimised ceramic Façade ceramics for use on buildings have long been...
