SCALP SOLAR ACTIV\u2019<\/b> is a pioneering, eco-friendly mineral treatment designed to revolutionise exterior maintenance. By utilising a cutting-edge photocatalytic coating<\/b>, this product harnesses natural UV light to actively break down organic pollutants and biological soiling, keeping surfaces cleaner for significantly longer than traditional sealers.<\/p>\n

Engineered for the modern built environment, this treatment uses sunlight to self-sanitise, preventing the growth of algae, moss, and lichen while guarding against urban smog deposits. The result is an invisible, protective shield that dramatically reduces the frequency of professional cleaning\u2014saving time, water, and long-term maintenance expenditure.<\/p>\n

Key Benefits for Commercial & Residential Assets<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Self-Cleaning Technology: The photocatalytic coating reacts with UV rays to decompose organic matter, which is then simply washed away by rainwater.<\/li>\n
  • Biological & Pollution Guard: Actively inhibits the colonisation of micro-organisms and limits the buildup of dark, unsightly air-borne pollution.<\/li>\n
  • Breathable & Microporous: Forms an invisible, protective film that allows the substrate to breathe, preventing moisture trapment and structural damage.<\/li>\n
  • Eco-Efficient Solution: Significantly reduces water consumption and eliminates the need for aggressive chemical cleaners over the building’s lifecycle.<\/li>\n
  • VOC-Free Formula: A sustainable, odourless choice that supports green building certifications and environmental compliance.<\/li>\n
  • Enhanced Longevity: Protects the aesthetic and structural integrity of the substrate, extending the intervals between major refurbishments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Application Guide<\/b><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, sound, and dry. Stir SCALP SOLAR ACTIV\u2019 thoroughly before use.<\/li>\n
    2. Application: Ready to use. Apply from the bottom up using a brush or low-pressure sprayer.<\/li>\n
    3. Technique: Apply a single coat using two “cross-coat” passes to ensure uniform coverage. Avoid over-application to prevent runs or visible marks once dry.<\/li>\n
    4. Activation: Allow to dry for 24 hours. The photocatalytic coating will activate upon exposure to natural daylight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Technical Specification & Usage<\/b><\/h3>\n

      In the UK\u2019s damp and often polluted urban climate, maintaining a clean fa\u00e7ade is a constant challenge. SCALP SOLAR ACTIV\u2019<\/b> provides a proactive solution for high-exposure areas, including coastal zones and city centres. Its “smart” mineral stain technology is ideal for render, stone, and concrete surfaces where a “clean-look” finish is essential for property value.<\/p>\n

      Ideal Applications:<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Urban Elevations: Preventing “black crust” and soot deposits on city-centre buildings.<\/li>\n
      • Coastal Properties: Reducing the maintenance burden in humid, salt-rich environments prone to algae.<\/li>\n
      • New-Build Developments: Offering a premium “self-cleaning” USP for modern architectural projects.<\/li>\n
      • Public Infrastructure: Limiting cleaning cycles for monuments, schools, and civic buildings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Note: This photocatalytic coating requires exposure to natural UV light to function. It is not recommended for permanent shade or interior areas with no daylight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

        SCALP SOLAR ACTIV\u2019 is an innovative, eco-friendly photocatalytic coating designed to transform exterior surface maintenance. Using sunlight, its UV-activated technology breaks down organic and biological dirt, keeping walls, facades, and other surfaces cleaner for longer.<\/p>\n

        The invisible, breathable film preserves the natural appearance of substrates while actively preventing micro-organism growth, including algae, moss, lichen, and more. By limiting surface soiling, SCALP SOLAR ACTIV\u2019 reduces the need for frequent cleaning, saving time, water, and effort, while cutting down the use of harsh cleaning chemicals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19027,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[229,230],"product_cat":[168,172],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-16431","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-cleaning","product_brand-protection","product_cat-construction","product_cat-water-oil-repellents","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSelf-Cleaning Photocatalytic Coating - SCALP SOLAR ACTIV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Protect your facade with our Self-Cleaning Photocatalytic Coating.
