Purify Air and Surfaces with Evonik’s Photocatalytic Solutions

In urban environments, industrial zones, and indoor spaces, photocatalysis offers a path to air purification and surface hygiene. Evonik’s nanostructured titanium dioxide products, supplied as AEROXIDE® powders, VP AEROPERL® granulates and AERODISP® dispersions, break down VOCs, NOx and odour compounds when activated by UV light. 

Why Choose Evonik for Photocatalytic Applications?

  • Proven Performance: AEROXIDE® TiO₂ P 25 is widely used in photocatalysis research and is frequently referred to as the "gold standard" in the field. Evonik’s nanostructured titanium dioxide products have an average primary particle size of 14–21 nm, and AEROXIDE® TiO₂ P 25 has a BET surface area of 35–65 m²/g – a very different profile from pigmentary titanium dioxide (0.2–0.5 µm). 
  • Tailored Innovation: Our materials adapt to diverse applications—from air cleaners and coatings to building materials and filters.

Solutions by Application

Air Purification & Environmental Remediation

  • AERODISP®, VP TiO₂ 590 S – High-performance dispersions and powders of titanium dioxide for photocatalytic degradation of VOCs, NOx, and airborne pollutants in air purifiers and HVAC systems.

Functional Fillers & Catalyst Supports

  • VP AEROPERL® P 25/20 – Granulated fumed titanium dioxide combining the photocatalytic activity of AEROXIDE® TiO₂ P 25 with the flowability and higher tamped density of a granulate, suitable for fixed-bed configurations and carrier applications.
