H&C TILES is the result of the application of Hydrotect® technology to the field of ceramics. Hydrotect® is a titanium dioxide coating that helps reduce environmental pollution and endows the ceramic material with self-cleaning, antibacterial and odour-elimination properties.
Exposing the titanium dioxide to ultraviolet radiation produces a photocatalytic reaction generating active oxygen and breaking down the dirt into smaller, less adhesive particles. Due to the hydrophilic properties of H&C TILES, water spreads uniformly over the surface, thereby facilitating drag and removal of dirt particles.
