Photo-Catalytic Nano Materials ΙΚΕ (PCN Materials https://pcnmaterials.com/) is a spin-off company of the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) based in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Created to commercialize innovative, high-performance photocatalytic (P/C) nano-materials that degrade gaseous and liquid pollutants, purify waste waters, disrupt polluting and toxic odors and degrade pathogenic organisms
Proved most effective on:
• Improving air quality (both indoors and outdoors), and
• Disinfecting health-sensitive areas (hospitals, operating theatres pharma industry, labs etc.)
