PCNano Materials

Photo-Catalytic Nano Materials” ΙΚΕ is a spin-off company of the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) based in Heraklion, Crete.

Designed to leverage the research results of the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, and in particular a series of patents on innovative photocatalytic (PC) nano-materials that degrade gaseous and liquid pollutants, purify waste, disrupt polluting and toxic odors and degrade pathogenic organisms.

The company is set to produce novel high-performance photocatalytic materials operating under the influence of solar and/or artificial (indoor) lighting, proved most effective both, on improving indoor/outdoor air quality (Indoor lecture treaters/meeting Halls, Hotels, Convention Centers, Schools, Universities, etc.) and on the disinfection of Bacteria, Viruses, Phages, etc at health-sensitive areas (Sewage treatment plants, Health Centers, Hospitals, Restaurants, Retirement Homes, etc.)

At present, a range of eco-friendly innovative PC materials have been developed tailor-made for various applications. Extensive tests by independent National and International bodies have shown enhanced de-pollution functionalities and strong disinfection properties.
