Video: Photocatalytically Effective Facade Colors And Infrared Heating

Looking back at the autumn meeting of the Technology Materials Environment Committee and the experts in the education academy at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, which dealt, among other things, with photocatalytically effective facade colors and the advantages of infrared heating.

Cities and municipalities are required by court order to take all possible measures to reduce pollutants in the air. The autumn conference had two guest lectures: Dr. Gerald Burgeth, research and development at Sto and Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Hör, technical manager at Sto for Baden-Württemberg, spoke about photocatalytically effective facade colors. Dr. Burgeth sent one thing straight away: "A facade coating does not solve the problem, it is only a building block in the direction of compliance with the limit values." Nevertheless, the reduction in pollutants by "StoColor Photosan" at the Stuttgart Neckartor, which is subject to extremely heavy loads, corresponds roughly to that of a car-free month in the year. Or to put it another way: a single-family house with approx. 250 square meters of space,which is coated with a photocatalytically effective facade paint, reduces approximately the amount of nitrogen oxides in urban areas that a Euro 6 diesel car emits at 24,600 kilometers. However, the Sto experts were certain that both the building owner and the processor would benefit from the use of a photocatalytic facade coating: the facade would stay clean longer and the building owner would have the good feeling that they had done something for the environment. The painter, for his part, benefits from an image gain if he offers products that support the environment.

Dr. reported on an infrared heating system that could be installed by the painter Heiner Willerscheid and Jörg Mai from Protektor. The "Sunedo heating systems" are available in three versions: "Sunedo Fleece" is a carbon fiber fleece that is glued or filled onto the wall under plaster or wallpaper. "Sunedo Wall" is drywall panels and "Sunedo Paint" is a heatable infrared heating paint. The client benefits equally in all three variants: no space for radiators, no long warm-up times, mold growth is prevented by dry, warm walls and the room air humidity is more even. According to Dr. Willerscheid, uncomplicated and can be done easily by the painter.
Other topics of the interesting conference, which were attended by around 30 participants from all over Germany, were new measurement rules, new e-learning models from the Bau-BG, the disposal of empty containers, the delamination of coated woodchip on gypsum plasters or UV protection in the company. Karl-August Siepelmeyer, in his role as BFS President, presented the revised leaflets of the Federal Committee on Color and Property Protection.
