Oxygena is a tile like no other. It is the only tile to contain titanium dioxide, an invaluable element which, through a totally natural process, reacts to and eliminates polluting gases thus rendering them harmless. Oxygena is designed for outdoor applications (buildings, balconies, walkways, squares and public works) where it cleans the air of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide produced by vehicle exhaust, central-heating systems and domestic cookers but it can also be laid indoors (bathrooms, kitchens and domestic environments).

When ultraviolet rays hit Oxygena's surface, titanium dioxide, which has photocatalytic qualities, activates an oxidisation process that transforms polluting gases such as nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (produced in the exhaust of motor vehicles and one of the prime causes of poor air quality) into nitrate ions which are harmless, eco-efficient salts. This totally eco-friendly process is similar to photosynthesis, whereby plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, thus purifying the atmosphere. Tests show that 100 sq. m. of Oxygena tiles can purify up to 7200 cubic metres of air in the space of eight hours of sunlight** or exposure to induction lamps.

When you choose Oxygena you take a positive step towards safeguarding the quality of life and the environment.
