Technology transfer for manufacturing TiO2-Ag Nano paint

Dr. Tran Ngoc Nam, Director of Thua Thien-Hue Department of Science and Technology, said after many years of research, scientists at the Department of Physics, Hue University of Science have successfully made the fabrication. some nanostructured materials , including titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ) nano, nano-structured PZT material, silver (Ag) nano.

TiO ₂ coated tile is used in killing bacteria, fungi and mold.

In particular, Nano TiO ₂ -Ag paint can be applied and transferred production technology to Hue Nanotechnology Company and VietDelta Company (Hanoi) to produce TiO ₂ -nano and Ag-nano .

The transfer of scientific and technological research results to application manufacturing enterprises not only confirms the practical significance of research works but also concretizes the "commercialization" of scientific products. learning and technology, an inevitable trend in the process of international integration towards a socialist-oriented market economy.

Paint Nano TiO ₂ -Ag has the ability to kill bacteria, deodorize, prevent fouling in visible light areas (even weak light areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms) and has adhesion on materials such as ceramic tiles, glass, metal, plastic, cloth, paper . very high.

Because of the high transparency, nano paint after drying does not change the aesthetics of the surface after painting.

Nano TiO ₂ can decompose many hazardous substances such as dioxin, pesticides, benzene . as well as some viruses, pathogenic bacteria with higher performance than other methods and themselves. Nano TiO _{2 is} completely non-toxic.

To produce this product line, at first it must be heated at a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. Improved TiO ₂ -Ag product lines must not be burned, solidified at normal temperature and show the properties. such as bactericidal, deodorant, anti-fouling .

Scientists at the Department of Physics, Hue University of Science have built up a technological process and synchronous equipment to be able to produce thousands of liters of nano paint per day; low cost products, only from 40,000-100,000 VND / m ^₂ , including all stages from raw materials to construction (meanwhile, foreign equivalent products cost up to 1,000-2,000 USD ).

In addition to the units transferred, the research team of Hue University of Sciences also cooperates with a number of domestic paint and ceramic tile manufacturing companies, mass-producing Nano TiO ₂ -Ag paint products to supply level to market.
