Surface Treatments for Improving Air Quality

Free-Aria is a collection of anti-bacterial and air-purifying surface treatments that fuse art and high function with wellness. Ashok Basoya, Owner, Ottimo, shares information on Momenti’s anti-bacterial and air-purifying surface treatments

At a time when the world is reeling under the havoc unleashed by an invisible virus, Momenti has introduced a new innovative technology adopted by them in their Free-Aria line, which imparts unique properties to the surfaces treated, acting as an active anti-bacterial agent and a natural air purifier. Free-Aria contains a technologically advanced micro resin, which makes the surface treatment a certified anti-bacterial and anti-viral product. It is applicable on upholstery fabrics, floors, furniture, accessories, natural stones etc.


Free-Aria improves air quality
Free-Aria helps you improve and purify the air of your home or office, 24 hours a day in a natural way, without consuming energy. It ionizes and activates oxygen molecules making the air purer and healthier as much as a large tree would, kills bacteria and virus, reduces dust, bad smells, etc. Free-Aria is able to break the cell membrane of bacteria and viruses, including the coronavirus, and is able to electrify the oxygen on the surface that binds, eliminating the positive charges: pollutants, bacteria, viruses, smog, etc.

Free-Aria is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments; the minimum quantity necessary to obtain optimal result is always one-third of the volume to be coated

The best part is the ionizing effect with all its benefits for the human body; unlike photocatalytic technologies based on titanium dioxide, it does not need the constant presence of ambient light. It also works in the dark since its activation takes place by means of simple thermal or magnetic excitation due to its pyroelectric and piezoelectric characteristics. What’s more, the product’s performance doesn’t decline or decay over time, unlike technologies based on titanium dioxide.


The positive effect of negative ions
In nature, there is a delicate balance between negative and positive ions; the latter are generated by smog, appliances, cell phones, lack of ventilation or plants in a room, etc. Negative ions are generated in a natural way during thunderstorms, from streams, waterfalls, the sea, plants, and the mountain air, hence, they are naturally present in the air. What makes the difference is their quantity. The greater the number of negative ions, the greater are the benefits for both the body and the mind.

According to science, the ideal air in an environment should have a concentration of around 900 - 3000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. However, negative ions in most interior environments in cities fall far below this range; only in rural areas or around forests their number is in this range.
