Birdair’s Ti02, or titanium dioxide photocatalytic membrane, is a non-toxic, flame-resistant coated tensile fabric that functions like the leaves of a tree, providing shade and comfort while actively neutralizing airborne pollutants
and odors.
TiO2 is a popular choice with designers and architects in sustainable commercial roofing market sectors throughout Asia and is now beginning to find its niche in custom tensile systems in North America. What makes TiO2 such an exciting building
product is its unique self-cleaning benefits, breaking down dirt and other organic materials through a chemical reaction with the sun’s UV rays, oxygen and water vapor, present in the air.
This reaction, known as oxidation-reduction, converts these materials into harmless gases and natural components without using excess chemicals, solvents or water. The resulting sediments are simply washed away by rain.
As a result, the membrane material remains bright and clean, reducing the need for frequent service.
Birdair’s TiO2 is a revolutionary step for the North American green building market, improving the way roofing systems perform. The fabric is available in three choices each
graded according to their degree of natural light transmittance. These fabrics have proven ideal for urban or heavy traffic areas where non-industrial gas exhaust pollutants such as nitrogen and sulfur oxide (NOx and SOx) accumulate. |
