Poultry sheds can suffer from high levels of ammonia and toxins that are harmful for livestock and humans. Pollution legislation is imminent. We show how to solve this problem inexpensively.

Improved Poultry Sheds
1. Nanotechnology Background
A nanometer is one millionth of a meter (the ratio is the same as that between our earth
and a football)
The manipulation, crystallization and encapsulation of these surface atoms in thin film
coatings, gives the surface new and novel properties
Researchers have been working for 15 years to develop surface treatments that exploit
molecular structures. This is nanotechnology
These coatings can be only a few atoms in size, but hold phenomenal value and
functionality
With thin film coating nanotechnology, no nano particles are free-standing. Therefore,
there are no environmental, health and safety (EHS) concerns
These coatings are fully EU qualified (REACH compliant) and are commercially available

2. Ti02 Advanced Research
The use of Ti02 to enhance hygiene has been proved
over the last 20 years. It is an accepted food-safe
chemical
The latest generation of Ti02 coatings provide the ability
to use visible light (not just UV Light) as the cleaning
antimicrobial catalyst
These surface treatments represent a compelling new
technology for businesses saving millions of pounds in
reduced cleaning and operation costs over their lifetime
Excellent for Sustainability. Reduces the use of
aggressive chemicals

3. What is a Photocatalyst?
Photocatalyst is a material which is sensitive to
light and makes a chemical reaction when light
strikes it, for example: chlorophyll in green
plants is a photocatalytic material creating a
chemical reaction when exposed to light.
In the same way, as light hits the coated
surface, two oxidation reactants, hydroxyl
radicals(0H-) & super oxide anion (O2−)
interface.
The two reactants decompose toxic organic
substances through oxidation
The nucleus of a atom is surrounded by orbits where electrons are revolving around the nucleus. Electrons responsible for
reactions are revolving in a band called valence band. There is a band outside the valence band referred to as the conduction band
in Ti02. As it is a compound consisting of different atoms, the valence and conduction bands are complicated, but the principles
involved are the same. When light energy is applied externally electrons in the valence band are excited and rise to the
conduction band, positive holes are formed and left behind the rising electrons in the valence band. At this time the Ti02 coatings
is photo excited. The resulting positive holes show sufficient oxidative power. As Ti02 is dissolved in water, water is oxidized by
positive holes forming hydroxyl radicals ( 0H-)which has a strong oxidative power.

4. How does it work?
The photocatalytic coating, which is
applied in advance with a special sprayer
system, is formed of a chemically stable
and safe solution of water-soluble
titanium dioxide (PH=7). It is developed
using unique and patented technology.
Atmospheric ammonia is a major aerial pollutant for livestock in poultry sheds. Tio2
is a effective, low risk, economic long term solution to this problem
The strength of the coating film is exerted by evaporation of water after coating, and
the photocatalyst effect is maintained for a long time. 5 years guaranteed!

5. Antimicrobial &
Detoxification Action
These unique Ti02 coatings contain excellent
antibacterial attributes that can even
decompose remnants of bacteria. By light,
( super oxide anion) and OH-(hydroxyl
radicals are formed which are the active
reactants that kill and decompose micro-
organisms.
This means that once surface s are protected, there are no
stable substrates for microbes, i.e., bacteria and fungi ,
etc. to find a space for growth. By creating this simple
environment we help reduce MRSA colonization and
infection from both acute care and non-acute care facilities.

fungus

6. Tests confirm
Research in both Germany and Japan
confirm the enormous antimicrobial
and detoxification powers of our
unique Tio2 coated surfaces,
reducing risk of viruses including
SARS & Avian flu ( H5N1)
In addition our coatings have good
antifungal effect on different types of fungie, i.e., Aspergilus Niger &
Candida albicans, reducing their concentration
by 34.65% after only 2 hours of contact
