SUNOX
®
The screening, within “traditional”
insect screens, still has the passive
function of preventing annoying
insects, dust, cottongrass and many
other particles from entering into your
home.
Like all screens, this lter should
always be kept clean and in good
working order to prevent the build up
of impurities in front of our windows.
T.I.E has always been involved in
research, innovation and
improvement and has now reworked
this screening making it a
revolutionary active lter that allows
you to live in an environment where
bacteria and viruses are ltered and
their growth is greatly reduced.
This is made possible by the SUNOX
®
technology: a patented cleaning
treatment that, thanks to the
interaction between light and modern
nanotechnology, allows the screening
to break down, in an extremely
durable, purposefully and constant
way, the growth of bacteria and
viruses that are commonly present in
the atmosphere and come into
contact with your net both from the
outside and from within your home.
SUNOX
®
is based on one of the most natural physical and
chemical principles: photocatalysis.
Photocatalysis is “the acceleration of the speed of a
photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst”. A catalyst neither
changes nor becomes consumed by a chemical reaction.
Like photosynthesis, in which chlorophyll captures sunlight to
turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose, the
SUNOX
®
system (in the presence of light, humidity and
oxygen) generates a strong purifying agent capable of
transforming organic substances into carbon dioxide and
water.

Under ideal conditions, the number of bacteria doubles
every 20 minutes.
In 6 hours at 37 °C, an initial population of 100 bacteria
can replicate up to more than 26 million.
Bacterial Growth
Antibacterial Effects
SUNOX
®
has been widely validated through microbiological
analyses, in accordance with the ISO standard 27447:2009,
conducted by certified laboratories such as the Biochemie
Lab in Florence and the Experimental Zooprophylactic
Institute in Teramo.
Virucidal Effects
Research into the virucidal eects was conducted at
the Department of Hygiene and Public Health at the
University of Florence (tributary to the network of
regional reference laboratories, certied for virological
monitoring and validated by the National OMS Centre
on behalf of the National Health Institute - Department
of Infectious Diseases).

A Functional Screening, Naturally
Photocatalysis is a process that is activated by light
and air.
The SUNOX
®
screenings, in the presence of these two
elements, trigger a powerful purifying process
leading to the decomposition and transformation of
bacteria, viruses and fungi into harmless substances.
The photocatalytic surfaces prevent the growth of
micro-organisms and do not allow substances that
micro-organisms feed on to accumulate.
The antibacterial, virucidal and anti-pollutant eects of the
photocatalytic SUNOX
®
system is caused by the formation of
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), generated by the
SUNOX
®
-light system.
Most of the studies led to the same conclusion, namely that
these are the main Species involved in the antibacterial and
virucidal eects of photocatalysis, while remaining completely
harmless to people.
