Air Purifier with
Germicidal Protection |
Featuring
Snapcat™ Nano Technology - Photocatalytic Oxidation
U.S. PATENT PENDING
Featuring Version II OxyCat Formula, just released.
Our
Snapcat™ add-on strips will snap onto any brand
of UV light that is of the dual tube U-shaped design,
not just CaluTech's.
If
you hate to read, here is the short story. Snapcat
strips react with the UV-C light and
now any flourescent light source to produce radicals
that get carried into the air thru your duct system.
The particles attach themselves to pathogens in the
air, carpet, walls, or any place the pathogens may be
that can come in contact with the air. The radicals
then destroy the pathogens, rendering them incapable
of reproducing, thus stopping them in their tracks from
growing. If you have ever walked along a sandy
beach by a seashore, you have noticed the same fresh
air smell. We are reproducing the exact same scenerio
indoors like the sun does outside. Totally safe
and no side affects.
Heterogeneous
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) eliminates concentrations
of organic contaminants from gaseous effluents by converting
them to safe substances such as water 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 home.
Snapcat™ is based on the most advanced OxyCat nanotechnology
photocatalysis. In the presence of our UV light source
and natural moisture in the air, oxygen is formed on
the Snapcat™ plate's surface. The magic is in the coating,
a baked on micro thin film of OxyCat Formula. 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 residential 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. Another
plus, greenhouses, where Snapcat™ destroys organic pollutants
and plants thrive on the carbon dioxide those pollutants
are converted to.
SnapCat is a catalyst, similar to the process performed
by a catalytic converter on a vehicle, where bad gases
are converted to neutral levels.
Traditional air purifiers work by forcing air through
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 older technology
such as ozone generators create harmful byproducts that
are hazardous to our health. Snapcat photocatalyst air
oxidation can be combined with our UV-C light germicidal
air purifier or standard fluorescent lights, creating
an invisible air purification system that continuously
maintains a pure and clean environment, and it's a silent
air purifier. Simply turn on the UV system or your fluorescent
lights and let the purification process begin.
If
you already own a CaluTech UV air system 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 ALL other UV air purifier
models not made by us, and for all fluorescent
light bulbs! Contact us for details.
Snapcat™
is a product which allows a simple, yet effective way
to utilize photocatalytic oxidation nanotechnology in
your home. It was released in 2006. It has since been
upgraded in October 2010 with the more advanced OxyCat
formula, the highest technology photocatalytic oxidation
process available. The photocatalytic strips are different
than some UV air purifier models by others, which use
a simple piece of titanium metal in an 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 Australian beach sand and when it is used
in the Snapcat™ process it becomes a powerful oxidizer
which is activated by UV light and standard visible
light. The Snapcat™ strips are manufactured and coated
with a very pure titanium dioxide mixture which is baked
on the Snapcat™ strip. This coating, known as OxyCat
Version II, lasts for 5 years, or more. Adding Snapcat™
technology to your current 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 your UV air purifiers or fluorescent
light bulbs causes a reaction between the UV or visible
light and the strips. This reaction is called Heterogeneous
Photocatalysis, or quite simply 'Photocatalytic Oxidation'
/ PCO Nanotechnology.
These oxidizers destroy organic organisms in places
where the UV-C light cannot reach. In addition, because
titanium dioxide is a semiconductor it absorbs UV light
and breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such
as odors and gases like formaldehyde from carpet, 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! Breathe clean again, breathe crisp clean
air.
Unlike spray deodorizers, Snapcat actually eliminates
odor and harmful compounds. 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 mold but harmless to us.
Germicidal
protection combined with Snapcat™ equals superior
air purification. A cost effective, low priced
solution to indoor air problems. Now for just
$79.95 you can add Snapcat to your CaluTech
ultraviolet air purifier. (or $59.95 with a
UV system purchase, add it at checkout). Nothing's
better! Get yours today. Snapcat™ can be added
to your new or existing CaluTech UV air purifier
in seconds! Fits all CaluTech air purifiers.
If you don't have a CaluTech UV air purifier
