Schools & Universities

Students are at greater risk because of the hours spent in school facilities and because children are often susceptible to pollutants. The health and comfort of students and teachers are among the many factors that contribute to learning and productivity in the classroom, which in turn, affect performance and achievement. FN® Nano Photocatalytic Systems improve the indoor environment and reduce illnesses in pre-school facilities, schools and universities. 

Protect students and school staff from hazardous substances such as cleaning chemicals, fumes from particleboard and plastic materials, and toxins produced by bacteria housed in air conditioning systems.

Activated FN® Coating cleans the air of molecules and microscopic particles of hazardous substances which other technology cannot handle. Ultraviolet light (UVA), which is a natural component of daylight, activates TiO 2 (titanium dioxide) nanoparticles. Once a molecule, a microscopic dust particle, a virus, a bacterium, a spore, reaches the activated TiO 2 nanoparticles, it catalyzes (induces and accelerates) the reaction of an oxidizable mass with air oxygen. For example, organic substances decompose primarily becoming water molecules and carbon dioxide. With the impact of UVA light, the nanoparticles are immediately reactivated and the process can be repeated, practically indefinitely. In this process photocatalysis also removes very dangerous substances: poisons, allergens and carcinogens. 

Protect students and staff from emissions that penetrate the interiors of buildings from the outside and have a negative impact on their health.

An activated FN® Nano Photocatalytic Film surface effectively degrades the dangerous substances contained in air  pollution both in the form of toxic molecules, as well as in relation to fine dust particles (PM1, PM2.5, PM10). It effectively disposes of benz(a)pyrene, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and other substances that endanger human health.

The activated FN® Photocatalytic Films layer, in combination with its extreme photocatalytic efficacy, has a number of practical effects that may be utilized in pre-school, facilities. Testing and reports from a  multiple kindergarten classrooms show the use of FN® Coatings in areas where children inhabit leads to a reduction of illnesses. Furthermore, observations of FN® FIlms in kindergartens throughout the Czech Republic over multiple years, show a positive impact on reducing the amount of respiratory disease for children in these classrooms. Children in these classes show an average of 30% less absence due to illness during the “flu” season than in classrooms where FN® Photocatalytic Films is not being used.
