During production of Bio-Care, Lapitec incorporates a special form of titanium dioxide (TiO2). Titanium dioxide acts as a catalyst to degrade organic matter through oxidation as a result of a reaction to natural sunlight or artificial lighting (photocatalysis). It adds super hydrophilic properties to Lapitec, promoting a washing effect to remove polluting particles from the surface. Due to this important feature, Lapitec is able to be defined as “self-cleaning”.

Tropicalia will appear to rise like a small hill within the landscape.
