PV cells – non-combustibility tested

SolarIAQ is a proprietary nano thin film which is transparent, colourless, ultra-clear, molecular-bonded onto glass surfaces providing the following functions:

  • Air pollutant decomposition (ISO 22197-1)
  • Self-Cleansing (BS EN 1096-5)
  • Anti-bacterial & virucidal (ISO 22196, EN 14476)
  • Anti-Abrasion (ASTM D2486)

Self-Cleansing Principle

Dirt arrived on SolarIAQ surface
1
Organic adhesion decomposed
2
Rain forms water film on surface
3
Dirt washed away
4
