Building materials technology is not lush in place and the latest achievements belong to the Japanese inventors. They have resolved a number of key issues that eliminate the need to clean glass, especially in high-rise buildings.

The main technology and know-how of this self-cleaning glass is that the outside of the glass is covered with a special layer of self-cleaning effect . In addition, the surface of the glass is coated with a layer of titanium oxide, can be stored for more than 20 years.

In addition, self-cleaning glass has two unique chemical properties: optical catalysis and hydrolysis . If there is a droplet of water on the glass, it will not form a droplet of water around the glass, which will wet the glass and dust.

For durable glass, glass must go through a complex manufacturing process. As soon as he got out of the oven, he was still hot, the glass was covered with a protective layer outside. This layer can not be separated when the glass is cooled and therefore, the glass never breaks or scratches.
