CONVENTIONAL AIR CLEANING SYSTEMS
Passive Air Filtra-on • Traps parCculates • No affect on VOCs • Only affects air that passes through filters • Breeds mold, bacteria & viruses • Disposal problems • Costly replacement and/or cleaning of filters
Germicidal UV lights • Only effects bacteria & viruses at close range • Needs long dwell Cme to show any effecCveness • Slight effect on some pathogens
Nega-ve Ioniza-on Air filter • Not recommended by EPA • Produces too much ozone • Can irritate respiratory system • Very limited range • Black wall issues
P C O : E N V I R O N M E N TA L C O N D I T I O N E R S The PCO unit acCvely outputs a conCnuous stream of molecules which aYack and destroy the pathogens on a conCnual basis, in a highly effecCve process, which is safe for both humans and animals. This system complements the LumAcCv coaCngs. Benefits • Generates a process called acCve photo-catalyCc oxidaCon (PCO) • Forms and releases large clusters of posiCvely and negaCvely charged ions: mulC-clustered ions (MCIs) • AYacks microbes (bacteria, viruses, volaCle organic compounds (VOCs), allergens, molds, and odors), wherever they exist in the indoor environment • ConCnues to treat the environment with MCIs on a conCnual basis • Has been proven unequivocally by independent universiCes and laboratories on a global basis to be highly effecCve and safe • Is at work in many clinical, commercial, and residenCal buildings, as well as on the internaConal space staCon

INTRODUCING DRYWIRED’S LUMACTIV In 1967, PhD student Akira Fujishima working in a small lab at the University of Tokyo discovered that the anatase form of Ctanium dioxide, a common food pigment, decomposes volaCle organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollutants when exposed to UV light. More than 48 years and over 3,000 academic studies later, scienCsts agree that global air polluCon can be posiCvely impacted by the widespread applicaCon of photo-catalyCc anatase Ctanium dioxide coaCngs. LumAc-v™ Key Points • Reacts with visible light as well as UV light • Safe for the environment and for human contact • Water-based soluCon • Saves water by breaking down dirt and making surfaces “self-clean” • Breaks down VOCs, METHANE, BTEX, bacteria, NOx and other airborne pollutants on contact • Durable, lasts for 10-15 years once applied • Removal rate for NOx per m2 is approx. 200 cubic meters of air per day. VOCs can be removed at a rate of 60 cubic meters per day* *Source: Lawrence Berkeley NaConal Labs, 2007 study for California Energy Commission
LumAc-v™- How it Works
Proprietary & ConfidenCal
THE NEW SOLUTION: LUMACTIV & PCO: HOW IT WORKS
In the presence of light, the compounds that our coaCng is capable of decomposing include nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde, benzene, allergens, pathogens, odors and other volaCle organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants are converted into non-toxic compounds like carbon dioxide, water and nitrates.

T I TA N I U M D I O X I D E P H O T O - C ATA LY S I S PhotocatalyCc oxidaCon had once only been possible under the presence of UV light and now with the chemistry DryWired has to offer, is now reacCve into the visible light range. The acCvaCon of this reacCon in by visible light is possible through the doping of TiO2 with silver ions. Visible Light
Lux is a unit in which the luminous flux is measured per a unit area. A light intensity of only 100 Lux is required for acCvaCon of our TiO2 coaCng. The greater the lux the greater the photo-catalyCc reacCvity.
