Included & pre-installed with ALL CaluTech products, and available as an add-on for ALL competitor UV products too! Heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) eliminates concentrations of organic contaminants from gaseous effluents by converting them to safe substances such as water vapor or carbon dioxide. Our air purifier with germicidal protection and Snapcat™ photocatalytic oxidation removes musty odors, pet dander, viruses, mold, bacteria, and other airborne pathogens. Eliminates VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Irradiates the furnace - air conditioning coils and makes them like new again, increasing air flow and efficiency. Helps clean and sanitize air ducts and kill mold while eliminating odors throughout the entire office or even your own home.

Snapcat™ is based on the most advanced nano-technology Photocatalysis. In the presence of our UV light source and natural moisture in the air, oxygen is formed on the Snapcat™ plate's surface. This intelligently breaks down unwanted odors, pungent smells, allergens, air pollutants and harmful toxins through an oxidation process. Snapcat™ protects you from absorbtion of pollutants that may otherwise accumulate in an enclosed area. Snapcat is ideal for any workplace, gyms, schools, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, day cares and homes. Snapcat™ not only attacks and decomposes the cause of odors, but also continuously offers an air purifying effect year round, creating a healthy environment.

Traditional air purifiers work by forcing air throught the machine, where their effectiveness is largely dependent on the size of the room and the amount of the air that can be treated at one time. Some of the more advanced technology such as ozone generators create harmful byproducts that are hazardous to your health. Snapcat photocatalyst air oxidation combined with our UV-C light germicidal air purifier is an invisible air purification system that continuously maintains a pure and clean environment, and it's silent air purification. Simply turn on the UV system and let the air purification process begin.

 

If you already own a CaluTech UV air sterilizer you can easily add the Snapcat™ snap-on strips to your existing UV lamps, or add Snapcat™ at your next lamp change. It's also available for other UV air purifier models not made by us upon request, same price!

Snapcat™ is a Patent Pending product which allows a simple, yet effective way to utilize photocatalytic oxidation technology in your home or office. The photocatalytic strips are different than some UV air purifier models made by others, which use a simple piece of titanium metal in the attempt to produce a catalyst oxidation process. Titanium Dioxide, or Titania (chemical name ti02) is a product not produced by nature and not made from titanium metal. It is extracted mainly from rutile beach sand (usually sand from Australia) and when it is used in the Snapcat™ process it becomes a powerful oxidizer which reacts with UV light. The Snapcat™ strips are manufactured and coated with a very pure titanium dioxide which is baked on the Snapcat™ strip. This coating lasts for 5 years, or more. Adding Snapcat™ technology to CaluTech's UV air purification gives you a superior method for air purification. UV-C germicidal light produced by the CaluTech product line eliminates viruses, mold, bacteria and other living airborne pathogens by modifying the living organism's DNA, preventing them from reproducing, and causing the organisms to die. Adding Snapcat™ strips to our UV air purifiers causes a reaction between the UV light and the strips. This reaction is called Heterogeneous Photocatalysis, or quite simply 'Photocatalytic Oxidation' / PCO Technology. The PCO process generates hydroxyl radicals which are among the most powerful oxidizers. Like UV-C light these oxidizers destroy microorganisms in the air, but the advantage is the ability for these oxidizers to reach places where the germicidal UVC light cannot reach. In addition, because titanium dioxide is a semiconductor it absorbs UV light and is not broken down by it. It breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as odors and gases like carbon monoxide or nitrous oxide. These gases are converted by the photocatalytic process into carbon dioxide, rendering them completely harmless. All you have left is pure clean air!

Unlike spray deodorizers, Snapcat actually eliminates odor and harmful bacteria.

Working in conjunction with our UV air purifiers you have a cost effective air sterilization system.

Titania is found in processed food, toothpaste, even cosmetics. We eat it and wear it, who would have though it cleaned the air we breathe? It's a powerful photocatalyst. When it's in the UV light it doesn't burn up like living organisms because it's a semi-conductor type photocatalyst. Scientists are developing 'self-cleaning clothes' with Titania. Even self-cleaning tiles for floors & walls are being made overseas.
It's an extremely powerful oxidizer, lethal to odors and toxins but harmless to us.
