Photocatalytic Glass / Self Clear

Stain Resistance
How It Keeps Surfaces Clean
Self Clear decomposes dirt with sunlight and washes it away with hydrophilic effect and rainwater.
Photocatalytic Performance TestHigh Durability with High-Temperature Baking

Under ultraviolet irradiation, the pigment of the ink is decomposed by the photocatalytic effect.

Ink remains on the UV-shielded side, while the side exposed to UV shows ink decomposition.

Thanks to a unique high‑temperature bake bonding treatment, Self Clear achieves far greater durability than conventional on‑site applied coatings, maintaining its effect over a long period.

  • The photocatalytic effect depends on the amount of ultraviolet radiation. In places where UV light does not reach, such as shaded areas, the effect will not be exhibited.
  • It takes time for the effect to appear. It may take several days to several weeks from when dirt adheres until it is decomposed.
  • Self Clear has the function of decomposing dirt, but it does not completely prevent contamination. Regular cleaning is still recommended.
