digestive // TX Active Photocatalytic Cement Available in North America


As featured in our Materials section, this new digestive material is becoming increasingly available:

TX Active, the new photocatalytic cement technology for self-cleaning and pollution-reducing concrete, now available in North America.

"Through photocatalysis, TX Arca reduces the maintenance requirements for concrete structures or buildings by destoying most organic and inorganic pollutants that come into contact with the concrete surface and cause discoloration. In addition to this self-cleaning benefit, TX Aria effectively destroys airborne pollutants, which are responsible for urban organic pollution."
Press Release for North America

"In a large city such as Milan, researchers have calculated – on the basis of test results – that covering 15% of visible urban surfaces with products containing TX Active® would enable a reduction in pollution of approximately 50%. "
