THE INFLUENCE OF TiO2 NANOMETRIC PHOTOCATALYTIC PIGMENT ON THE PROPERTIES OF THE FILM-FORMING PRODUCTS BASED ON ORGANIC BINDERS IN AQUEOUS DISPERSION

In the recent years, the film-forming products obtained by adding a nanometric photocatalytic titanium dioxide pigment into their composition have drew the attention of both researchers and manufacturers. The purpose of this paper is the development of new compositions based on organic binders In aqueous dispersion with different contents of nanometric photocatalytic titanium dioxide pigment and novelty Iles in the study of their influence on the film-forming products properties. The study performed on these products revealed self-cleaning effect of the films after exposure to UV radiation and natural aging in urban-Industrial environment and the improvement of certain properties, such as: coating power, adherence to support, water and watery-vapours permeability.
