Photocatalytic
Coatings Market: Overview
Photocatalytic
coating products is a result of photocatalysis reaction.
Photocatalysis is the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence
of a catalyst. In catalyzed photolysis, light is absorbed by an
adsorbed substrate. In photo-generated catalysis, the photocatalytic
activity (PCA) depends on the ability of the catalyst to create
electron–hole pairs, which generate free radicals that are able to
undergo secondary reactions. A common application is electrolysis of
water molecules by titanium dioxide (TiO?). A photocatalytic coating
is capable of maintaining itself on the surface on which it is
applied and get rid of the dirt accumulated on the surface on its
own.

When
photocatalytic coatings are exposed to any ultraviolet (UV) light
source such as the sun, their oxidative property decomposes the
organic substances such as microbes present on their surface.
Hydrophilic nature of the coating causes the water that comes in
contact with it to form an even layer, thereby allowing the dust and
dirt accumulated on the surface to wash away. These two properties of
photocatalytic coatings create the ‘self-cleaning’ effect.
Photocatalytic
Coatings Market: Dynamics & Trends
In
recent years, ‘self-cleaning’ coatings using photocatalytic
titanium dioxide (TiO2) have gained considerable attention. With the
assistance of a little UV light from a fluorescence source or
sunlight, TiO? offers two unique properties: (a) high oxidation
power, and (b) super- hydrophilicity.
High
oxidation power can be employed to kill bacteria attached on a wall
or remove foul smell from stains in a toilet (TiO?-coated tiles and
TiO?-coated glass are commercially available). Super-hydrophilic
property can allow dirt and stains to get easily washed away with
water or by rainfall when photocatalytic coatings are applied on
exterior surfaces. However, due to its high photoreactivity, a TiO?
coating cannot be applied directly onto an organic paint surface. It
may attack the paint surface, causing the ‘paint-chalking
phenomenon’. This factor has limited the use of TiO? coatings.
Reduction
in use of TiO? coatings is an effective technique that provides an
inorganic–organic layer between the painted surface and the TiO?
coating to avoid the effect of paint-chalking. This interlayer
functions as a binder for TiO? particles and a barrier to prevent the
damage of substrate caused by the photocatalytic reaction. With this
approach, continuous and sustained self-cleaning effect can be
attained on the surface of painted panels. For a building without
photocatalytic coatings, physical cleaning (usually using strong
detergents or high-pressure water jets) is required. It can cause
damage to the building material. The same material when treated with
photocatalytic self-cleaning coatings can last longer. This naturally
leads to low maintenance costs.
Photocatalytic
Coatings Market: Segmentation
The
photocatalytic coatings market can be divided by application
(commercial buildings, residential buildings, heritage
buildings/structures, and educational institutions) and by region
(North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East
& Africa).
Photocatalytic
Coatings Market: Region-wise Outlook
The
global market for photocatalytic coatings is expanding at a
significant rate. The market in Asia Pacific, especially in India,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and China is expanding at a rapid pace.
Considerable growth of the market in Middle East & Africa is
expected during the forecast period, owing to overall economic
development of the region and high demand for electronic products,
textiles, automobiles, and plastics in the region.
