With modern developments in nanotechnology that are just this side of magical, multiple surfaces are being treated with a spray-on coating called PURETi. Once applied, the treated surfaces themselves are actually becoming cleaning machines.

Billboards, windows, vehicles and buildings coated with PURETi are pulling pollutants like smog and other vehicle emissions out of the air. The coating also uses light to interact with dust, grime and even mold to keep surfaces cleaner.

PURETi Put to the Test

As reported in Newsweek*, PURETi’s developers tested their product in a section of one of the stickiest, grimiest spots in the country: a football stadium. The company that previously had to power wash Sun Life Stadium—home to the Miami Dolphins—knew within weeks that a sunny day was all that was necessary to achieve the same results as power washing. For the stadium, this meant a savings of up to $90,000 after every game!

The Science of Nanotechnology

Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are the superstars of PURETi’s innovative formula. Titanium dioxide is the most common paint pigment in the world and is also found in sunblock, toothpaste and cosmetic products. In a process called photocatalysis, ultraviolet light energizes titanium dioxide molecules. The energized molecules interact with water molecules in the air, creating free radicals that eliminate vehicle emissions and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Air Cleansing Benefits of PURETi

While PURETi’s cleaning power makes the world a brighter place, it’s the unseen benefits that deliver the most value. The smog and VOCs that everyone is breathing take a toll on our health, especially children and the elderly. Even a seasoned marathon runner’s breathing is negatively affected after running near busy traffic. Inside, you can count on a coating of PURETi to reduce VOCs emitted by carpets, upholstery and paints. When PURETi pulls pollutants out of the air, everyone literally breathes easier.

Multi-tasking PURETi also prevents the build-up of dirt, grime and dust.  An ultra-thin coating of PURETi is not detectable to an object as big as, say, a human, but at the microscopic level it’s very slick. Tiny airborne particles that would otherwise equal a layer of gunk interact with the surface and convert to end products that slide off.

Amazingly Long-Lasting Effects

One professional application of PURETi lasts for up to three years inside and up to five years outside, providing full benefits the entire time. The cost of application is extremely affordable relative to the significant savings on supply and maintenance costs. Even if you aren’t power washing a football stadium, you’re likely to reduce required water, energy and chemicals to clean by half. When cleaning is easier, it’s also quicker, so labor costs are reduced, too.

The Grime Stoppers’ trained and certified PURETi application technicians use specialized spray equipment to deposit an ultra-thin film (25,000 times thinner than a business card) that dries in seconds and cures in hours to form an invisible polymer-like ceramic film that is durably bonded to the treated surface.

An added plus for new construction is that PURETi holds an SCS Global Services certification which makes it an Environmentally Preferable Product and point worthy in the LEED program of the U.S. Green Building Council.

Green nanotechnology that has a positive impact on your bottom line – now that’s what we call “beneficial!”

PURETi is a sustainable, self-cleaning, odor-eliminating, air-purifying product that is activated by sunlight and very EASY TO USE. It is safe, environmentally friendly, and makes cleaning twice as easy once applied. While all of the benefits provided by PURETi seem too good to be true, the ease of application is really the unbelievable part. Whether you decide to treat your home or car individually or need a professional application by the Grime Stoppers to treat larger surfaces, PURETi is easy to apply and also makes cleaning easier in the future.

Easy DIY Application With PURETi Clean and Fresh

Using PURETi for personal use in your home or car is simple. PURETi Clean and Fresh is a window cleaner and odor eliminator that improves indoor air quality. It can be applied simply by spraying the interior surface of your windows and then wiping it clean with a microfiber towel. PURETi Clean and Fresh is environmentally friendly and eliminates odors, self-cleans with the power of light, and keeps windows cleaner by minimizing grime. Using PURETi Clean and Fresh in your home or car will keep your windows clean, provide neutral air, and destroy odor molecules.

PURETi Clean and Fresh isn’t just easy to apply; it also makes cleaning easier in the future. PURETi stops windows from becoming foggy or developing a film of dirt and grime over time. The titanium dioxide in PURETi is photocatalytic (meaning it is energized by the sun) to actually oxidize particulate matter that can build up between washes. PURETi Clean and Fresh is available for personal use in a 16oz spray bottle and in a smaller, convenient 3oz pump spray bottle. PURETi allows you to clean half as often and makes cleaning twice as easy.

If you decide to personally apply PURETi Clean and Fresh to your home or car, you should use it every three to six months for the best results. If you decide to have your home or vehicle professionally treated by The Grime Stoppers, application is still quick and easy and the treated surfaces are guaranteed for a minimum of three years.

Professional PURETi Application Technicians Make It Even Easier

Treating large surfaces like LED screens, roads, university posters, and roofs should be left to the professionals. The Grime Stoppers has certified PURETi application technicians that use special equipment to spray your surface with a thin layer of PURETi. The application takes minutes, the PURETi mist dries in seconds, and it only takes a few hours for the invisible polymeric film to cure and bond to the surface. Professional application is very quick and hassle-free, and the results last much longer.

Having your home, business, or property treated with PURETi saves you money and time. It saves you money by reducing energy, water, chemicals, and labor and saves you time by keeping surfaces twice as clean for twice as long and making cleaning twice as easy.

Seeing happy couples on a Jumbtron’s kiss cam is one of the fun diversions fans have come to expect at sporting events. Tourist visits to Times Square in New York City almost always include taking photos with Sony’s Jumbotron in the background. Even the outdoor LED screen in your hometown that provides time and temperature information is an important part of your everyday life.

The uses of LED screens are numerous, but they are often a major initial investment, not to mention ongoing maintenance costs including cleaning. Dirt, grime and dust all build up on LED screens, negatively affecting picture quality. When a business puts a message in lights, those lights need to shine brightly.

Reduce Maintenance Costs

The Grime Stoppers can help reduce maintenance costs of LED screens with our new product, PURETi—a safe, sustainable, light-activated product that not only reduces maintenance costs, but also transforms the LED screens of the world into self-cleaning, air purifying marvels. PURETi helps ensure that the intended big and bright impact of an outdoor LED screen is realized.

PURETi-treated surfaces need to be cleaned half as often and cleaning is twice as easy as untreated surfaces.  The environmental impact is substantial, reducing the required water, energy and chemicals used to clean by half.  When cleaning is easier, it’s also quicker, so labor costs are reduced as well.

Improve the View

PURETi also helps maintain high-end picture quality by actually preventing the build-up of dirt, grime and dust.  The coating interacts with the microscopic airborne particles would otherwise equal an image-blocking layer of gunk.  PURETi actually oxidizes particulate matter, so LED signs keep shining brightly. An additional benefit is that PURETi also eliminates VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and harmful greenhouse gases.  A PURETi-coated outdoor LED screen works for you and works for the environment.

Long-Lasting Benefits

One application of PURETi lasts for up to three years, providing full benefits the entire time. The cost of application is extremely affordable and is easily offset by the significant savings on maintenance costs. Side-by-side images of PURETi- treated and untreated surfaces after three years show that an untreated surface is like looking through a very thick, gray fog. It’s definitely not the way you intend your promotional message to be seen.

Fast Professional Application

The trained and certified application technicians with The Grime Stoppers use specialized spray equipment to deposit a very thin film that dries in seconds and cures in hours to form an invisible polymeric film that is durably bonded to the treated surface.

Environmentally Preferred

PURETi holds an SCS Global Services certification, which makes it an Environmentally Preferable Product and point worthy in the LEED program of the U.S. Green Building Council.  That certification is more than just a pat on the back. It’s an important detail for new construction when seeking tax credits.

A Sign of the Times – PURETi In, Pollution Out

What if objects around you could actually take poisonous compounds – that, up to now, you’ve been breathing – out of the air? That’s what’s happening right now on busy streets near the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.

Large signs on University buildings are coated with PURETi, a revolutionary cleaning product that contains nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. The particles get excited when light hits them, which causes a reaction with oxygen. This reactivity creates an impressive cleaning effect like no other compound can.

Studies of the PURETi-treated University poster have revealed that the excited nanoparticles actually eliminate car, truck and bus emissions of nitrogen oxides.  Nitrogen oxides are invisible particles that have been linked to breathing problems, which particularly affect children, the elderly, and people with asthma, emphysema and bronchitis.  But nitrogen oxides also affect even the healthiest person. Take a walk or jog near a busy street on a hot, sunny day and you can’t help but notice increased breathing difficulties.

The  PURETi-coated sign at the University of Sheffield is roughly the size of a highway billboard and has been found to eliminate the pollution of 20 vehicles per day. Imagine if every sign, banner, light post, and bench in your community was coated with pollution fighters.  Even windows can be coated and used to purify the air. This product may literally make it possible for everyone to breathe easier.

The Power of PURETi is Scientific, Not Science Fiction

The nanotechnology used to create the PURETi coating for signs is advanced science. More and more everyday products are being combined with the tiniest parts of helpful molecules to create amazing results. Tony Ryan, the University of Sheffield professor who convinced his employer to install titanium dioxide signs on their buildings, is hoping to develop a laundry detergent with the same nanoparticles. He believes that clothes washed in this detergent would soak up pollutants.

Are people ready to wear a chemical reaction? A lot of investors think so and are connecting to products like Ryan’s laundry detergent and air purifying product coatings. The technology part of nanotechnology is so fine-tuned and precise (remember, it’s all happening at the sub-molecular level) that the nanoparticles do their job without negative side effects.  Even though the particles are excited and working hard, no activity can be seen or felt.

The nanotechnology itself is amazing… so a high product cost could be expected. But the price is very affordable relative to the results.  The PURETi coating for signs is long lasting and, as long as there is light, constant.  No special equipment or protective clothing is needed to install coated signs. A PURETi-treated billboard-sized sign can cost only about $200 more than an uncoated sign.

With sustainability and corporate responsibility becoming more important to consumers, investing in nanotechnology to fight air pollution is a very affordable way for businesses to support their home communities.

PURETi Science and Responsible Commerce: A Winning Combination

Excited inventors working with excited particles to clean the air, and excited companies using the technology as a way to be stronger community partners—PURETi is proof that science and commerce can work together to achieve amazing results that benefit everyone.
