CleanAir Spaces has been involved in its development as a supplier of catalytic substrate technology, Sanz Clima as an adapter of technology to the environment, and Antolin as a developer and integrator of the product inside the vehicle. In order to adapt it to customer needs and as a first step to potential commercialization, the project is being presented to vehicle manufacturers.

Advanced photocatalysis technology is based on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is generated from the humidity of the air when a light of specific characteristics falls on the specifically designed substrate. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) envelops pathogens, viruses, and bacteria in the air and on surfaces, neutralizing their infectious capacity. Thanks to its oxidizing power, it is also able to effectively remove volatile organic compounds and odors.

Passenger-friendly solution

Rigorous testing under European regulations and guidelines, in real-world settings, conducted in collaboration with a laboratory implementing a quality procedure according to ISO UNE 17025 (ENAC) standard for occupational atmospheres, has confirmed that the technology is effective and does not generate harmful compounds for people or animals; in fact, it increases their well-being and safety. The maximum concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the active compound generated by the technology, is less than 0.1 ppm, that is, 90% below the limit established by national and international regulatory agencies, making its use compatible with the presence of passengers in the vehicle cabin.

In addition, manufacturing products and processes are certified by the following regulatory agencies: ISO, CE and ROHS.

With this solution, Antolin takes a step further in transforming the interior of the vehicle into a third advanced and technological living space, but above all comfortable and safe for both the driver and the rest of the passengers.
