Ink Intelligent

Producers of the self-cleaning surface tester pen

Incredibly, Ink Intelligent have developed an ink which tests the activity of photocatalytic self-cleaning surfaces. The ink is dispensed from a pen instantly for accurate, convenient and fast results across a broad range of building products.

See our range  (http://www.iphotocat.com) of ISO test services for assessing photo-catalytic activity of any material.

A paper on our ink has made the Top 10 articles within the field on ScienceDirect.

The photocatalytic surfaces that can be tested with our ink include most self-cleaning tiles, paints, concrete, glass and fabric.  The ink not only reveals the presence of a photocatalytic coating, but also can provide a measure of its activity, via the speed of the colour change under defined irradiation conditions.

Choose the right pen for the right self-cleaning activity of your surface:

• the low activity Validator pen ( colourless to gold/brown, usually used for ceramic tiles)
• the medium activity Explorer pen (blue to pink, usually used for glass)
