S.A.R.C.
THE PATENT THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
UMANA To combat polluting agents and purify the air in enclosed spaces (indoor environments) and contribute to the creation of a protective barrier against outdoor pollution.
We launched the Co-Research project in partnership with the Department of Chemistry of La Sapienza University and Pa.L.Mer to create a washable, photocatalytic paint, but with unique advantages, with a revolutionary, patented technology: S.A.R.C technology
Why is Umana an innovative product?
The paint works through a well-known natural process, photocatalysis, which removes pollutants and purifies.
The product's innovation lies in the type of patent developed.
PATENT ON THE SYSTEM S.A.R.C (controlled-release antioxidant system) which ensures the breakdown of pollutants, while at the same time preserving the components of the paint from analogous photodegradation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AT THE SERVICE OF HEALTH
How does it work?
S.A.R.C
THE PATENT WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The SARC system (patented by Loggia Industria Vernici in collaboration with La Sapienza and Pa.L.Mer) constantly releases, in controlled quantities over time, an antioxidant substance of plant origin which, unlike other photoactive paint systems, guarantees a high level of protection, long life and colour stability of the substrate.
The ONLY PHOTOCATALYTIC WASHABLE PAINT
THAT DOES NOT DETERIORATE AND GUARANTEES ITS ACTION
IN A CONTINUOUS AND CONSTANT WAY
THE PATENT S.A.R.C IT ENSURES THAT THE NANOPARTICLE TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TiO2) BREAKS DOWN POLLUTANTS – MICROORGANISMS – BACTERIA PERFECTLY, WITHOUT DETERIORATING THE PAINT.
Why does it make a difference?
The photocatalytic phenomena are omnidirectional, meaning that they attack both organic substances present in the surrounding environment and those contained in the paint itself, causing their degradation over time.
This is why the Patent plays a key role in ensuring that the sanitising action continues and that the paint stays anchored to the surface, protecting it from degradation.
It allows that harmful substances, bacteria and microorganisms are destroyed by the photocatalytic action of the active ingredients present in Umana, while at the same time thanks to the controlled release of antioxidant substances over time, the surface is protected and stabilized.
WE HAVE BEEN PUSHED OVER THE LIMIT
OVERCOMING THE LIMITS OF PHOTOCHEMICAL PAINTINGS
Umana guarantees its hygienic action and all activities for purifying and maintaining clean air even in the absence of light!
PATENT INNOVATION
ACTIVE FORMULA
DARK ACTIVE
Effective even without sunlight, as the traditional system is combined with substances that produce radicals and active charges even in the dark.
It is therefore also suitable under artificial light or in shaded areas: thanks to ionising substances that remain active even without light, Umana guarantees constant air purification in our living spaces.
Continuous purification
The unique properties of Umana
PHOTOCATALYSIS
Thanks to the action of titanium dioxide and sunlight, it eliminates all harmful substances that enter our homes from the outside or that accumulate on the walls simply by migrating from clothing, objects, furniture, or from common household products we use to clean our homes.
DISINFORMATION
The natural response to destroy smog and all the volatile harmful substances present in the air we breathe, which pose a risk to our health.
Thanks to the action of its ionising substances, Umana breaks down smog and PAHs constantly and continuously.
SANITIZING
Breaking down harmful substances triggers a purification process in the surrounding environment. Titanium dioxide breaks these substances down into mineral salts and water, which sanitise our entire living space.
ANTIBIOTIC
Eliminates
ANTI-MOULD
The antibacterial photocatalytic action, achieved by adding silver salts combined with nanotechnology to the formula, inhibits and prevents the growth of mould, which proliferates indoors and contaminates the air we breathe.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Thanks to its properties and the continuous breakdown of substances guaranteed by the S.A.R.C patent, it keeps your home sanitised by eliminating germs and purifying the air.
ENERGY SAVING
It improves the thermal insulation of buildings, saving over 20% more energy than a traditional paint and reducing heating and cooling costs.
Thus contributing to environmental sustainability.
*present in Umana Aria Nuova
SELF-CLEANING
It creates a natural protective barrier on the walls that prevents dust from adhering and hinders the formation of dirt.
ANTIODOUR
Eliminates odours naturally, without additional substances.
Thanks to its qualities, it attacks the foul-smelling molecules, decomposing them into inert salts.
ANTICONDENSATION
It ensures even heat distribution, preventing the condensation droplets that cause mould.
*Present in UMANA ARIA NUOVA
SUITABLE IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH THE PRESENCE OF FOOD
BREAKS DOWN FORMALDEHYDE
It breaks down 98% of this Category 1 carcinogen within the first 48 hours.
All the Power of Nature in Your Home
to purify your environment
and breathe 20,000 liters of clean air every day
Now you can.
Umana is applied like any ordinary paint
but it purifies and sanitises your air like 100 m² of forest.
