Fighting technological innovation every day, aiming for a step further.
Differences from general disinfectants and photocatalysts.
Alcohol and sodium hypochlorite * used in general disinfectants have high immediate effect but lack sustainability, so Hikarium does not contain any alcohol and is not only for sunlight (ultraviolet rays) but also indoors. We utilize the original photocatalytic effect (oxidation / decomposition) by using visible light responsive titanium oxide that also reacts to light such as lamps .
The main components are titanium oxide and water.
Carefully Take the time to create the best things.
Titanium oxide (TiO 2 )
Titanium oxide is a white powder that has long been used as a white pigment. It is also widely used as a food additive (colorant) in white chocolate, sweets, gum, etc., including paints, dental materials, toothpaste, and cosmetics.
Visible light responsive titanium oxide
Although conventional titanium oxide has a photocatalytic effect only on ultraviolet rays, titanium oxide has been developed for the visible light region (410 to 490 nm) in response to increasing demand for indoor use.
Fight invisible enemies.
Bacteria and viruses that exist in the world are invisible to the naked eye.
That is why many companies, universities and research institutes around the world are making constant efforts.
We will also aim to evolve and deepen "Hikarium" so that we can play a part in it.
Nice self-cleaning.
The photocatalytic coating covers a thin film on the sprayed surface and dirt adheres to the photocatalytic coating layer. In places exposed to rain, such as the outer wall, water splashes on the surface, washing away only the attached dirt (self-cleaning effect), and the photocatalyst coating layer is maintained as it is.
Excellent durability.
As a result of applying a photocatalyst coating to the towel cloth and conducting a durability test of the peeled state after washing and drying, the photocatalyst coating film did not peel off even after repeating washing and drying 5 times, and high durability was realized. increase.
* Alcohol and sodium hypochlorite are used for disinfection and sterilization of fingers and objects. For details, please see the website of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
