Standard Operating Procedure for Photocatalytic Coating Application
Step 1: Site Inspection and Formaldehyde Testing
Before commencing work, our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your premises. During this inspection, they will:
- Assess the work area: Evaluate the specific conditions of the space, including size, layout, and existing materials.
- Develop a customized plan: Create a detailed plan for the application of the photocatalytic coating, taking into account factors such as the level of contamination and the specific needs of the space.
- Conduct formaldehyde testing: Measure the initial level of formaldehyde in the environment. Two test points will be selected, and measurements will be taken both before and after treatment to provide a clear comparison.
Step 2: Consultation and Explanation
Our technicians will provide a comprehensive explanation of the entire process, including:
- Treatment method: A detailed explanation of how the photocatalytic coating will be applied.
- Precautions: Information on any necessary precautions during and after the treatment process.
- Estimated completion time: A projection of how long the project will take.
- Maximizing effectiveness: Tips on how to maximize the benefits of the photocatalytic coating.
Step 3: Material Compatibility Testing
Before applying the coating to any surface, our technicians will conduct compatibility tests on a small, inconspicuous area. This ensures that:
- Color and texture: The treated surface will have the desired appearance.
- Adhesion: The coating will adhere properly to the substrate.
- Durability: The coating will be resistant to damage or discoloration.
Note: Certain materials, such as clear glass, mirrors, high-gloss finishes, and electronic devices, are not suitable for coating. However, if the client insists on treating these surfaces, we will accommodate their request.
Step 4: Protective Measures
To protect your belongings and furnishings during the treatment process, we will take the following precautions:
- Surface protection: We will cover surfaces with protective materials, such as masking tape and drop cloths.
- Floor protection: For floors such as polished quartz, tiles, and wooden floors, we will use specialized protective coverings to prevent damage.
Step 5: Application
The photocatalytic coating will be applied to the following areas:
- Ceilings
- Walls
- Cabinets (including interior drawers)
- Carpets
- Curtains
Step 6: Final Inspection and Cleanup
Upon completion of the treatment, we will:
- Restore the area: Remove all protective coverings and debris.
- Conduct a final inspection: Ensure that the work has been completed to a high standard.
- Re-measure formaldehyde levels: Conduct a post-treatment formaldehyde test to verify the effectiveness of the treatment.
Additional Notes:
- All waste generated during the process will be disposed of responsibly.
- Clients will be provided with a warranty and a detailed report of the work performed.
Important notes:
- Avoid excessive cleaning: Over-cleaning may damage the coating.
- Use appropriate cleaning agents: Use mild, neutral cleaning agents. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the coating for any signs of damage and contact a professional for repair if necessary.
