The self-cleaning wall paint

Catalysis research makes it possible: new wall paint can clean itself through exposure to sunlight and chemically break down pollutants from the air.

26-Mar-2024 - Beautiful white wall paint usually does not stay beautiful and white forever. Various substances from the air often accumulate on the surface. This can be a desirable effect because it makes the air cleaner for a short time - but over time the paint discolors and needs to be renewed. A research ...
