Overview
Pilkington
SaniTise™ is a transparent pyrolytic antimicrobial glass developed by NSG Group as a commitment to creating a healthier, cleaner and safer world.
How it works
The glass is produced with a TiO2 based pyrolytic coating deposited directly onto one glass surface. When exposed to UV radiation through natural daylight, the Pilkington SaniTise™ coating is activated.
It then reacts with water vapor within the atmosphere resulting in a photocatalytic process that inactivates (destroys) the viruses and bacteria on the coated glass surface.
Once Pilkington SaniTise™ reaches full activation, it will maintain its antimicrobial activity for enveloped viruses throughout its exposure to natural UV light. Even after the exposure to UV radiation has ceased, Pilkington SaniTise™ will maintain this behavior for at least a further two hours.
