Applications

Self-cleaning, by material.

The same platform, one function — adapted to how each material is made and used. Explore what self-cleaning means for your product category.

Photo grid of five material categories, each with an icon overlay: Coatings & Paints, Textiles & Fabrics, Plastics & Polymers, Glass & Ceramics, and Confined Environments — captioned with a short description of the self-cleaning effect, above a strip summarizing five platform attributes: one platform many materials, activated by visible light, catalytic action (not consumed), transparent/odorless/non-corrosive, and better durability.

01 — Coatings & Paints

Coatings that stay clean under ordinary light

Integrated into paints and industrial coatings, EcoAida's technology activates the self-cleaning function under everyday visible light — no UV lamps, no added equipment. Suited to facades, industrial surfaces, and painted components exposed to daily wear.

Architectural and facade coatings
Industrial and protective coatings
Painted components for transport and equipment

02 — Technical Textiles

Textiles with a built-in self-cleaning function

Woven or applied into technical fabrics, the self-cleaning function activates under visible light while preserving the textile's own properties — breathability, flexibility, and finish. Designed for fabrics that are exposed to frequent handling or difficult to wash.

Upholstery and technical fabrics
Workwear and technical apparel
Outdoor and architectural textiles

Split comparison of a woven fabric's texture: on the left, soiled with visible dirt; on the right, clean, with water droplets beading on the surface and a light sparkle effect. Three unlabeled line icons along the right edge: sun, droplet, and sparkle.

03 — Polymers

Polymers that clean themselves under light

Integrated directly into the polymer during processing, the self-cleaning function becomes part of the material itself — not a surface layer. Suited to components and products where surface cleanliness affects both appearance and performance.

Molded and extruded components
Consumer and industrial product housings
Technical and structural polymer parts

Split comparison of a molded plastic surface: on the left, dusty with a visible fingerprint; on the right, clean, with water droplets beading on the surface and a light sparkle effect. Three unlabeled line icons along the right edge: sun, droplet, and sparkle.

04 — Glass & Ceramics

Glass and ceramic surfaces that clean themselves under light

Integrated into glass and ceramic surfaces, the self-cleaning function activates under everyday visible light — maintaining clarity and finish without added maintenance steps.

Architectural and facade glazing
Ceramic tiles and surfaces
Transparent and structural glass components

Split comparison of a glass surface: on the left, water-spotted and hazy; on the right, clear, with sunlight and a city and mountain skyline visible through it. Three unlabeled line icons along the right edge: sun, sparkle, and a diagonal-line no-symbol icon.

05 — Confined Environments

Built for spaces where cleaning is difficult

In transport, marine, and remote facilities, manual cleaning is often limited by access, resources, or time. Integrated into surfaces built for these environments, the self-cleaning function keeps working under ordinary light, with no added routine.

Transport and mobility interiors
Space and aerospace surfaces
Marine and offshore equipment

Split comparison of a train handrail: on the left, dirty with visible fingerprints; on the right, clean, with a light beam and particle effect. Three unlabeled line icons along the right edge: train, medical cross, and building.
