Miracle Titanium Photocatalyst Connect is a photocatalytic coating agent that combines antibacterial and antiviral performance (*1) with environmental friendliness.

Using "peroxotitanium technology," silver- and copper-loaded titanium dioxide is highly dispersed in pure water, and the peroxotitanium self-adheres to the base material. It is possible to form a transparent, highly adhesive inorganic coating film at room temperature without using binders, and is completely water-based with minimal VOC emissions.

As a result, the active ingredients (titanium dioxide, silver, and copper) are exposed on the surface of the coating film without being buried in the binder, maximizing its antibacterial and antiviral effects (*1). Furthermore, the pH is designed to be neutral to slightly basic, making it gentle to metals and delicate materials and applicable to a variety of base materials. In addition to the photocatalytic effect, silver and copper metal ions exhibit sustained antibacterial and antiviral effects (*1) for 24 hours even in the dark.

It is ideal for spaces where cleanliness is required, such as medical facilities, educational institutions, public facilities, and commercial facilities.

Features of Miracle Titanium Photocatalyst Connect

1. triple effect of photocatalyst, silver ions, and copper ions

Inhibits the activity of bacteria and viruses (*1) adhering to the surface of the coating film, and reduces VOCs and odor components.

Photocatalyst reacts to visible light from LEDs, and the action of metallic ions maintains antibacterial and antiviral effects (*1) for 24 hours even in dark places. Inhibits the growth of bacteria and viruses (*1). 2.

(2) High transparency and wide applicability

Forms a highly transparent inorganic coating film at room temperature, making it compatible with metals and delicate materials.

It can be used in a wide range of applications while maintaining the aesthetics of the base material. 3.

Reliable certification and technical background

Miracle Titanium Photocatalytic Connect" has acquired SIAA certification for its antibacterial and antiviral performance (*1). It is also in the process of acquiring PIAJ certification, the Photocatalyst Industry Association standard, reinforcing confidence in its high quality and safety. Furthermore, this product was developed in cooperation with Professor Ichinose of Saga University, the inventor of peroxotitanium technology.

By combining the knowledge of the technology inventor with our technical expertise as a specialized manufacturer of peroxotitanium coatings, we have achieved uniqueness and superiority.

Adoption of Peroxotitanium Technology

Ltd. has been working on the commercialization of peroxotitanium coatings since 1997, and launched the "Miracle Titanium Photocatalyst" series in 1999.

Miracle Titanium photocatalyst for outdoor applications has been partially adopted in 2024 for the exterior walls of large office buildings in the city center and for glass at the south exit of Hiroshima Station, which is under renovation.

The results and experience we have gained over the years in the industry are being put to great use in the development of our current products.
