Antimicrobial Theory  
         
     
  When TiO2 absorbs light irradiation and releases free radicals such as O2-. ‧OH, H2O2). The free radicals attach cell membrane and cause cell membrane damage.
This potent oxidizing power characteristically result in the lysis of bacteria.
   
  1) Sprayed a thin layer of Nano TiO2 on furniture or substrate (wall, board, and compartment materials)
  2) When Nano TiO2 is subjected to light exceeding the material's band gap, it generates electron-hole pairs
   
  3) O2 and H2O, surrounding the layer of TiO2, connect with electron and hole and generate super active substances (O2-. ‧OH, H2O2 )
     
     
  4) Super active substances attach on outer membrane of harmful micro-organism (Bacteria, Viruses, and Fungi) and attack their cell membrane.
     
       
       
  5) The membrane of micro-organism damage and stop effectively the duplication of themselves.

The potent oxidizing power finally result in micro-organism death.
