Have we applied our nano tio2 photocatalyst at hotels and resorts before in Malaysia

Here we are saying our nano tio2 is applicable to here and there.... Even hotels... But have we done hotels and resorts before? Well, yes.... Of course...

Here is a resort built on a man made pond which is made of wood. Now, we all know that when there's wood and water in combination, there can only be the one and only problem... Mold/ fungus growth...

Well there has been complains of musky and mold smell which are very unpleasant... Prolonged staying in the environment will result a lot of respiratory problems.
Therefore, we were being called to apply our nano tio2 in all 12 chalets in this resort, including the karaoke room.

Firefly Resort























Here is another hotel we did in Penang. It's a Five Star Hotel and patrons staying here have very high expectations. So, even the slightest smell is unacceptable.

A Five Start Hotel in Penang












Now, where did we applied our nano tio2 in these resort and hotel? Our nano tio2 was being applied to all the surfaces of:
1. Ceilings
2. Walls
3. Carpeted floors
4. Furnitures
5. Lightings
6. Jacuzzi
7. Toilet bowl

We even applied their TV.

What do they get after the application?

1. Long term cost savings on maintenance in the sense of:
A) cleaning chemicals
B) cleaning number of cleaning on their schedule
C) fragrances materials to cover the bad smell. Not forgetting most of these materials contains VOCs that are harmful

2. Bacteria free environment

3. Mold free environment

4. VOCs free environment

5. Communicable deceases are in control

6. All rooms can be converted to smoking room and non smoking room because of the self deodorizing effect.

Most importantly, CUSTOMERS SATISFACTIONS which is the core of every service industry's policies.

Note: these are projects done before 2009 when our electrostatic spraying system was not available at that time.

Arc Flash Corporation Applied nano tio2 photocatalyst at the new REHDA Building in Malaysia

It has been a long wait for us to see the project to come to this stage. Finally, it's our turn to kick start our part. This is going to be a 3 phases project.
We will start off with all the glass panels, followed by the rest of the whole external surfaces when the paint job is done and then finally, it's our final touch after all the interior jobs are being completed.
This project is expected to be hand over by 31st December 2011. Hopefully all will go well..















Ivan is cleaning the glass panels before he can apply our tio2 on. It's definitely not an easy job....















all these glasses has to be applied 1 by 1, which takes a lot of time... But with our electrostatic sprayer, no problem.....






next round, will be the rest of the exterior building structures... Now, that's gonna be the toughest part because the nature of the landscape of this building is that, it's unaccessible by cranes... It's all on the scarf holdings..







Upon Completion of Our Nano Tio2 Application, What will this Building gets?


1. Close to Zero VOCs level

2. Close to Zero Microbial like bacteria, molds/fungus, allergens and even virus level

3. Does not need to install air purifiers

4. Very minimal maintenance for cleaning the external structures because of the nano tio2's self cleaning effect

5. Effects lasting up to 3 to 5 years, with a 2 years warranty

6. Cost savings in the long run for many aspects


Can this be proven? The building will go through a commissioning process by the green building commissioners before it can be certified. Apart from the professional equipments used by the commissioners to monitor the results, there are also 3rd party labs that can perform indoor air quality sampling tests, swap tests and also VOCs tests.

Our nano tio2 Application Tool and Process (Malaysia)

You have seen what Arc Flash's nano tio2 can do. Have you any idea how its being applied? Our nano tio2 is being applied using the direct spray on system. The tool that we use is not just an ordinary spray paint gun you can get in the market, but we are using the ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYER SYSTEM.

Here is an example of a typical application for Arc Flash Corporation's Nano Tio2
Arc Flash's Electrostatic Application


Nano Coating Using Electrostatic Technology - How it works

Nano coatings are composed of extremely tiny droplets. Electrostatic application of a nano coating employs the law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged objects. This law is behind why metal filings are drawn to a magnet, lint is attracted to your clothes or dust clings to the screen of your television. These are all examples of Coulomb's law in action - opposite electrical charges attract and "like" charges repel. (These principles of physics were first published in 1783 by French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb.)
In numerous commercial, industrial and agricultural spraying operations, electrostatic forces of attraction significantly improve the deposition (coating) of charged droplets onto target surfaces. Such operations include liquid and powder paint coatings, electrostatic precipitation of air pollutants from stacks, electrostatic spraying of agricultural pesticides onto field crops and orchards, xerographic copying, ink-jet printing, textile flocking, and more recently, disinfection, sanitization and decontamination applications.


Droplet Control & Droplet Size

Common to all these electrostatics based operations are droplet control and droplet size. Droplet control consists of first, imparting an appreciable net electrical charge onto the individual droplets (e.g., 5-15 mC/kg charge – to mass), and secondly, propelling the charged droplets to the target surface.
Droplet size is the result of shattering, or atomizing, the jet of spray coating into much smaller droplets. Droplet sizes are measured in microns. The most common term used to describe droplet size is Volume Median Diameter (VMD). VMD refers to the midpoint droplet size (mean), where half of the volume of spray is in droplets smaller, and half of the volume is in droplets larger than the mean. A VMD of 50, for example, indicates that half of the volume is in droplet sizes smaller than 50 microns, and half the volume is in droplet sizes larger than 50 microns.
A micron is 1/1000 millimeter, or about 1/25,000 of an inch. In comparison, a drop of water is about 250 to 300 microns in size, a human hair is about 100 microns in diameter. Droplets 50 microns and less are generally considered to be aerosol droplets. The range and size of droplets in any given spray has tremendous influence on coverage, volume of spray used, retention, and runoff. When droplets greater than 150 microns strike target surfaces, they become flattened, but their kinetic energy is such that they retract and bounce away. Small droplets are better retained as they lack the kinetic energy to overcome surface energy and viscous changes that occur on impact and do not bounce away.


Optimum Droplet Size

The optimum size is generally considered to be between 40 and 100 microns. Droplets in this range cover more surface area, require lower volumes, are less susceptible to bounce back and runoff than those larger than 100 microns. The surface area of a liquid is greatly increased when broken into small droplets. The volume needed to cover target surface decreases proportionally with droplet size. Even small changes in droplet diameter make big differences in droplet weight. An increase in droplet diameter from 150 microns to about 190 microns doubles the droplet weight. An increase in droplet diameter from 150 microns to about 240 microns increases the weight 4 times. Doubling the diameter to 300 microns increases its weight, and also its volume, by 8 times.


Charged vs Uncharged Droplets
When droplets are uncharged, neither the droplets nor the target surface has any influence on the other. Sprayed droplets are principally influenced by forces generated by the spraying device (pressure, air flow) and by external forces of gravity and air drag. Uncharged droplets are more susceptible to air currents in the spraying area while charged droplets are less influenced by air currents.
An electrostatic sprayer induces an electrical charge onto droplets creating an attractive force between charged droplets and targets. This electrostatic force overrides gravity and inertia to pull droplets out of their paths – up, down or sideways – to the closest surface.
To compare influence, the electrostatic force on charged droplets is up to 75 times greater than the force of gravity. Electrostatically charged droplets are also influenced by the sprayer’s mechanical forces, however, once they reach the vicinity of the target, electrostatic forces take over to a very large degree.
In water based coatings, the water carries the electrical charge. Charged sprays, unlike uncharged sprays, resist coalescing into larger droplets both in transit and deposition. As each charged droplet is deposited on a surface, electrical charges balance out at that site, making it no longer attractive to other charged droplets. The droplets following are pulled instead to the rest of the surfaces which remain attractive.


Atomization & Induction Charging
A typical droplet of spray from a conventional air-blast applicator is around 250 microns in size. A typical droplet of spray from an electrostatic sprayer is around 40 microns. In the nozzle of an electrostatic sprayer the coating liquid passes in very close proximity (but does not contact) a positively charged electrode, inducing a negative charge (excess electrons) in the grounded liquid stream. The stream of coating liquid, with its excess electrons, is combined in a shearing action with a near sonic velocity jet of air, shattering (atomizing) the coating liquid into droplets 30 to 40 microns in size.

Shattering the liquid stream breaks the droplets free from the grounded liquid stream and traps the excess of electrons. As the electrically charged droplets exit the nozzle, they create a charged field plume that is strongly attracted to the targeted object. The charge on the atomized droplets remains until discharged on a grounded object or the water content of the droplet evaporates.
Induction charging is based on the principle that a field charge, created within the plume, is presented to a grounded target. It is this field charge the plume creates that really makes an electrostatic sprayer so effective. The charge is small, but the force attracting the coating plume to the target is substantial, up to 75 times the force of gravity.

As the target sits with a neutral potential the proximity of the field charge induces a strong attraction. The droplets actually reverse direction and coat the underside, backside and crevasses of the target, creating an "electrostatic wraparound." In comparison, a 250 micron droplet simply runs off a target and is largely wasted.

Additionally there is the second half of Coulomb's Law, that "like" charges repel. Since all of the coating droplets leaving the nozzle have the same charge, they cannot coalesce into large droplets, which again fall off the target. At the same time, the swirling droplets are not attracted to areas already coated and continue to seek out uncovered surface areas until there is uniform coverage (disposition) across the entire target. This results in a consistent, uniform coating, no drips, no runs and no uncoated areas.


What Matters Most
Microscopic organisms are usually hidden in deep cracks and crevasses inside or on the undersides of surface areas, and continue to survive if coverage is spotty. The extraordinary bonding of the coating to the target and the complete, uniform coverage achieved are distinct advantages of Microbecide® electrostatic sprayers. Experience is showing it is not just what is applied but how a coating is applied that matters most.

Here is a video showing the mechanism of our electrostatic spraying technology

Notice the Beauty of the spray of the wrapping effect compared to a single dimensional spray by a normal spray paint gun

Here is Another Video which Shows the Application Of Arc Flash's Nano Tio2 at the Diamond Building of Putrajaya

With this application system we can achieve;
1. Wider Coverage
2. Minimum Product Wastage
3. Better Bonding Strength Of the Product on the Surfaces
4. Great Speed during the Application Process
5. Great Flexibilities to reach difficult sectors during Application

Lets Compare it with the conventional way of applying the coats.

you will notice:
1. A lot of hard work to make sure that the surfaces are fully applied
2. Difficulties to reach unreachable sectors
3. A lot of Product Wastage
4. Slow in Application Speed

Arc Flash Corporation (M) SDN BHD collaboration with MARDI and UPM (Malaysia)

In year 2009, Arc Flash Corporation, together with it's marketing partner, a-solution did a joint collaboration research with both UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia) and MARDI ( Malaysia Agricultural body) using our nano tio2.

With UPM, we researched on the self cleaning part of our nano tio2. On the milking section of the cattle farm, cows are parked at an area while waiting for their turn to be milked. The floors of this section is very slimy, and filled with fungus growth. Therefore, most of the cows are being attacked by fungus and bacteria on their legs which will spread up to their body.
We treated our nano tio2 on to the floor of this section after we cleaned the place. We did the typical half treated and half not treated experiment and the results were very promising.


here are the results of the test done in UPM at the milking section of the cattle farm






look at the results, 3 months later











here is the summary





On the other hand, our research with MARDI was to find out if our nano tio2 can prolong the shelve life of fruits for their exports. Fruits naturally releases ethylene gasses. The gas makes the fruits ripe faster soon after they are being plugged from their trees of roots. This is causes problems to fruit exporters because they can't get them to overseas without freezing them. Byndoing so, the fruits are not fresh and the costs of transportations will be high. Worse still, some fruits cannot be frozen.
Our research with the university is to treat all the materials that contains these fruits including it's container boxes, and it's storage room but not the fruit itself. Nano tio2 is known to be able to break VOCs gasses and ethylene is one of the VOCs. The mechanism behind this experiment is to show that even though the fruits keeps releasing the gasses, as long as we have something ( which is our tio2 ) that keeps breaking the gasses, the fruits itself will not ripe so soon and therefore our experiment showed a very promising result that the papayas lasted 18 days and they are still eatable as compared with a non treated environment where the papayas there only lasted 5 days and on the 9th day, they are almost rotten already and not eatable at all.

here are the results and comparison











below is the summary of the whole project

Arc Flash Malaysia nano tio2 application for external

Year 2010 was a very meaningful year for Arc Flash Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd. In this year, we made it to history where we applied our Malaysia's first Platinum Status Green Building for the control of indoor air quality, and we were also awarded 2 projects for external building application of our nano tio2 namely, the JPA Building at Putrajaya and the BMW HQ Building at THE QUIL, Cyberjaya.

This time around we would like to emphasize the other beauty of our nano tio2 effect of SELF CLEANING for external wall structures. Apart from being able to break organic matters that are harmful in the indoor sectors, our nano tio2 also breaks the oil surfaces that is trying to form on to external structures, not allowing dirt to be collected on these surfaces, even dusts only manage to sit loosely onto the treated surfaces because without the oily film, there is no bonding between the dusts and the surfaces and also, fungus/mold and other microbes could not grow on these surfaces too. When rain falls, all these dirts and dusts will eventually be washed away easily and hence the savings of cleaning and repainting jobs over a few years time.

Here are some pictures of the JPA/JKR project we did at C1 and C2 sector of the main building at putrajaya.





C1 Section Of the Building




C2 Section Of the Building





Application of nano tio2 by our Partner, A-Solution Enterprise






















The process did not end with just the application. How do we proof that our nano tio2 treated surfaces are different from others?






We test it out in comparison with another site that has not been treated with our nano tio2 application.
Here, what we did was that we use an ATP Tester to read the microbe counts in 2 different sectors. 1 sector has been treated with our nano tio2 in comparison with 1 sector that has not been treated with the product, by random. We did this test not immediately after the application. The test may seemed to be bias if we do it right after the application. This is because, surely the surface will be cleaned right after the application, but for how long? Therefore, we did the ATP Swap test 14 days after the application. As you can see, the surface treated with our nano tio2 only contains 59 microbes as compared with a non treated surface that has 1000+ microbes. This clearly proves the application has long lasting effects, and not just some kind of chemical being used to kill the microbes on the surfaces temporarily.
The ATP TESTER is being used on food processing lines to check the cleanliness of their food processing lines. The readings of below 150 is very good, and 300 and above is considered failed. From this test, you can see that our nano tio2 treated surface has way passed the food processing tests and its even much cleaner. Do bare in mind that this is the external walls of the building where microbes such as molds can easily grow and start spreading their growth in seconds, but we waited for 14 days before we perform this test.


The other external project that we would like to highlight is the BMW application project at THE QUIL, Cyberjaya.





THE BUILDING










THE APPLICATION
















We did not did any ATP SWAP tests here but we believe that our customer's satisfactory and testimonial marks a thousand words of what we have to say.

Here is a testimonial presented by the building owner which clearly states their satisfactory on our job done.






These are just 2 of the projects that has applied Arc Flash Corporation's nano tio2 on their external buildings. We believe, if we manage to switch the mentalities of building owners, more of such projects will fall onto the application of such a great technology.

We hope that this blog not only have clearly explained to you what nano tio2 can do for external buildings, but also the multi benefits that this technology can give in just one product for both improving indoor air pollutants and also the self cleaning aspect for the external structures which will definitely lead to a very green building and great savings on building maintenance in the future.

Application of nano tio2 photocatalyst at My Little Mandarin House Kindergarden at Bangsar, Malaysia

When you send your children to child care centers or kindergartens, do you know how clean the premise is, actually? Have you wondered about it? When your child are sick, have you thought of the cleanness in the places where they spends most of their time without you by their sides?
Here, we are talking about transmutable deceases, allergens, bacteria/mold contacts, bad indoor air quality caused by harmful VOCs and molds/fungus.

On 24 September 2011, Arc Flash Marketing (M) Sdn. Bhd., has applied 2 Kindergardens at Bangsar. The Kindergarden are call, My Little Mandarin House. The owner of these Kindergarden is very straight on health related issues and we are proud to have found such a responsible personnel handling our future leaders on their premise.









Thanks to these bunch of responsible people that our new generation is safe from:

1) communicable deceases
2) allergens
3) bacteria attacks
4) harmful VOCs
5) fungus/mold attacks



With nanoYo application, these kindergartens only need to be reapplied one year after the first application. By this, the premises now can use less toxic cleaning detergents or chemical that produces harmful gasses which may cause more problem to children in this environment.

How sure are we of the cleanness that we are talking about? We follow up by test reports done by third party test lab to monitor the cleanness of the surfaces as well as the air, periodically.









We apply all the playground items which is bound to have a lot of bacteria and fungus/mold growing






It is by nature that books are made from materials that attracts molds and bacteria very quickly. Therefore all the books must be applied with nanoYo too





The tables and chairs is where the children spends most time with possible high traffic of bacterial attacks. By applying nanoYo on to these items, the surfaces will be self sanitizing continuously

Can The Effectiveness Be Tested?















We engage a third party test lab to perform the AIR QUALITY TEST and The SURFACE SWAP TEST to compare the results before and after the application to show proof of its effectiveness.

My Little Mandarin House is the first in Malaysia which adopt such a Green Technology in their Kindergarden. We hope that in the near future, more and more of such premisses will start using this application to protect our love ones from communicable deceases like hand, foot and mouth decease, h1n1 or even normal bacterial attack.
