RECORD® ‘s Renova pavements feature special mixture that can absorb pollutants in the air and then release them in the form of new purified particles.
This is why they are an active and certified solution for reducing pollution and the ideal choice for urban spaces where traffic and climate change have a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions into the environment.
The specific Renova mixture, containing Titanium Dioxide with photocatalytic action, accomplishes a breakdown of fine dust, nitrogen oxides, carbon and sulfur oxides (generated in urban environments by automobile exhausts and heating systems) into substances that are harmless to health and the environment.
Choosing a Renova flooring has multiple advantages from the standpoint of reducing the impact on the environment and improving air quality.
The photocatalytic action of Renova has been tested in the laboratory with C.N.R. approved equipment
The test results showed a reduction in the pollutant NOx (nitrogen oxides) of more than 80 percent.
The effectiveness of photocatalytic binders in abating nitrogen oxides in the environment has also been measured in the open field through monitoring of more than 1,000 hours in various realizations with Renova pavements.
The results obtained, although slightly different from those found in the laboratory due to the influence of atmospheric agents, different environmental and geographical conditions, are remarkable.
The reduction of pollutants was significant for all the main substances and for mold and bacteria (field test performed on photocatalytic flooring by ARPA and C.N.R.).
