Project Funding
• Prizmalite Industries, Inc. contracted The Toxicology Group, L.L.C. to perform an independent, third party assessment of their product’s (TioxoClean®) ability to “self clean” various organic compounds
• Experimentation occurred in 2004
![Page 12: Cleanability and Antimicrobial Efficacy of a Titanium ... · • Aqueous, amorphous, titania, film-former that holds nano particles (as small as 6 nm) of anatase TiO 2 in a stable](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060516/60320542f3388235475f11d2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TioxoClean®
• Aqueous, amorphous, titania, film-former that holds nano particles (as small as 6 nm) of anatase TiO2in a stable suspension
• High surface area of titanium dioxide particle• Rate of photocatalytic oxidation is enhanced by
increased surface area• Antimicrobial mode of action may be the targeting
of the cellular membrane by the hydroxyl radicals, thus increasing permeability, disrupting metabolism, waste excretion and membrane stability

Cleanability –Selection of Dyes
• Four organic soils utilized as the challenge agents• Red dye #2, Red dye #220, Blue dye #440, and 3
in 1 oil (in order of theoretical ease of cleaning)• Dyes selected on visualization and potential
susceptibility to photocatalytic oxidation• Dyes were applied to test and control plates in a
“cross” manner – two 1” x 6” lines
![Page 15: Cleanability and Antimicrobial Efficacy of a Titanium ... · • Aqueous, amorphous, titania, film-former that holds nano particles (as small as 6 nm) of anatase TiO 2 in a stable](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060516/60320542f3388235475f11d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cleanability –Plate Setup and Exposure
• 6” x 6” glass plates were obtained for the following groups– Experimental Group 1 = TioxoClean®– Experimental Group 2 = Competitor’s TiO2 product– Control Group = No Coating
• All experimentation performed in triplicate• Three exposure scenarios were examined
– Artificial Ultraviolet – 35 µW/cm2 @ 254 nm• American Ultraviolet Co. Model CE-15-4BL equipped
with a 350 nm blacklight (model 350BL )• 12” exposure distance from light source
– Natural Indoor UV - 1 µW/cm2 @ 254 nm– Natural Outdoor UV - 1 mW/cm2 @ 254 nm
• (Fujishima et al, 1999)

Cleanability –Exposure Protocol
• Recorded weight of plates, opacity and dye surface area at the following exposure time points: – Time 0, 10 min, 20 min, 40 min, 60 min, and hourly from 2
hr through 16 hr• Opacity was measured as follows:
– Used Orbeco-Hellige Color Disc No. 611-11– Mean opacity of the triplicate plates was calculated for
each treatment group• Dye surface area was calculated as follows:
– Individual areas of the two dye lines were calculated and averaged
– Mean area of the triplicate plates was then calculated for each treatment group

Cleanability Study Results
• Removal efficiencies ranked in the following order of greatest to least (easiest to most recalcitrant): Red #2 ← Red #220 ← Blue #440 ← 3-in-1 Oil
• TioxoClean® coated plates displayed a greater rate of removal of both Red #2 and Red #220 compared to Product A under each UV light treatment.
• Product A possessed a more efficient cleanability rate when Blue #440 was utilized as the challenge dye.
![Page 22: Cleanability and Antimicrobial Efficacy of a Titanium ... · • Aqueous, amorphous, titania, film-former that holds nano particles (as small as 6 nm) of anatase TiO 2 in a stable](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060516/60320542f3388235475f11d2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cleanability Study Results
• Red #2: – TioxoClean® coating under indoor UV conditions yielded
the highest rate of cleanability (0.172 cm2/min), followed by outdoor UV (0.127 cm2/min) and artificial UV (0.048 cm2/min).
• Red #220: – TioxoClean® coating under artificial UV conditions yielded
the highest rate of cleanability (0.049 cm2/min), followed by outdoor UV (0.035 cm2/min) and indoor UV (0.012 cm2/min).
• For Blue #440:– Product A coating proved more effective than the
TioxoClean® coating in both outdoor and indoor UV conditions (0.021 and 0.022 cm2/min, respectively).

Cleanability Study Conclusions
• 3-in-1 Oil:– No significant difference between the
removal efficiencies for either photocatalytic coating under both the outdoor and indoor UV conditions.
– Both treatments did display cleanability rates that were slightly enhanced when compared to the negative control group.

Efficacy Study Conclusions
• TioxoClean® is more effective against the gram negative and gram positive surrogates than Product A
• E. coli is more susceptible to photocatalytic oxidation kill compared to S. aureus
• Addition of 0.1% Ni enhances kill of gram positive surrogate
• Effect of 0.1% Ni on virus inactivation needs to be investigated further
