TX Active® photocatalytic cement was first used in 1996, in the production of the three graceful precast concrete panels that form the “sails” of the landmark Dives in Misericordia Church in Rome, designed by Richard Meier.
Since then, our research, development and improvement efforts have been an intensive, ongoing focus. Early photocatalytic cements were effective in keeping surfaces clean; the levels of photoactivity achievable with TX Active® cement is such that it actually abates the organic and inorganic substances responsible for air pollution.
For more than a decade, our technology center has been studying photocatalysis and applying its applications in cementitious materials. Among our findings: cementitious materials represent the ideal solution for spreading photocatalysts widely and evenly over both the horizontal and vertical surfaces of architectural and structural elements.
