Fewer chemical cycles
Photocatalytic coatings can cut cleaning cost and chemical load. Harsh products recede; a damp cloth deals with spoilage. Better for ESG statements and for the people who actually clean.
Light-powered protection
Still working after the cloth is put away.
Water-based photocatalytic coating. Daylight or indoor light drives a continuous oxidation process that suppresses microbes and breaks down organic pollutants — typically for six months after a single application.

How it works
InvisiGard™
InvisiGard™ is a robust, persistent, self-cleaning technology powered by light. It is designed to treat the surface, particles in the air immediately above it, suppress microbial growth, and degrade hazardous organic pollutants into harmless substances — accredited to ISO 27447.
Photocatalysis, not a perfume of disinfectant
A water-based film carrying around 2% titanium dioxide. Natural or artificial light generates hydroxyl radicals that oxidise organic matter on contact. The chemistry keeps working between cleans.
Mimicking nature
The same light-driven oxidation that keeps mineral surfaces clean in the wild, engineered as a coating for buildings, transport and healthcare. Daily maintenance becomes a damp cloth, with protection still in place.
Measured in months
A single application typically lasts six months. In suitable conditions, residual activity has been specified out to a year. Either way, it is not a wipe that dies in minutes.
What it changes on the ground.
Air as well as surface
The treated plane oxidises organic pollutants at the boundary layer. That is the difference between a disinfectant and a surface that continues to work.
Safe to specify
Water-based, non-hazardous, non-irritant, non-carcinogenic, biodegradable. Designed so it can sit inside an ordinary FM regime, not beside it.
