23、Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for the evaluation of the photocatalytic self-cleaning performance of materials showing photocatalytic activity, usually based on semiconducting metal oxides such as titanium dioxide, by the measurement under solid/solid conditions of the decolour
24、ing ability under irradiation with ultraviolet light (UV-A) of a test sample on which a dye solution is sprayed and dried. This European Standard is intended for use with opaque and rough surfaces of different kinds, such as construction materials in flat sheet, board or plate shape, that are the ba
25、sic forms of materials for various applications. This European Standard also applies to fabric, plastic or composites containing photocatalytic materials that are not soluble in acetone. This European Standard does not apply to photocatalytic glass, granular materials (unless they are deposited in c
26、ompact films or layers over flat solid surface) and flat non porous materials. The method evaluates only the self-cleaning ability of the material under ultraviolet light irradiation. It cannot be applicable to evaluate other performance attributes of photocatalytic materials, i.e. decomposition of
27、water contaminants in liquid or gas phases contacting the material, and antifogging and antibacterial actions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、or the photocatalytic self-cleaning process (min) 5 Principle This standard concerns the comparison and the quality assurance of photocatalytic materials used as self-cleaning materials. The method described is intended to measure the photocatalytic self-cleaning performance of a photocatalytic mate
39、rial by evaluating its ability to clean its surface, previously covered by a known amount of coloured organic compound, as a consequence of the exposition to ultraviolet light. A controlled amount of a dye solution dissolved in a volatile solvent (acetone) is spread on the tested surface by using a
40、spraying gun. The photocatalytic material turns out to be covered by the solid dye. The relation between the amount of the spread dye and the spectrophotometric reflectance is defined in the calibration step. The calibration function involves the measurement of the reflectance spectra of the sample
41、surface as a function of the dyes covering. Dyes used in separate experiments are Metanil Yellow, Rhodamine B, and Methylene Blue. The test shall be carried out with the dye showing the maximum optical contrast with the material to be tested. Criteria for the choice of the best dye are here given (s
42、ee 8.3.2). Optionally, the test can be carried out with the others dyes as the reactivity of each dye can depend on the specimen. The measurement with more than one dye is encouraged, but it is not compulsory. The self-cleaning activity measured by this test shall be referred to the used dye. The so
43、iled surface is then irradiated in air by UV-A light under defined conditions and the decrease of the dye amount on the surface is monitored by measuring the reflectance spectra of the surface of the test sample in the visible range. By using the calibration function the change of the reflectance sp
44、ectra can be related to the kinetic of disappearance of the dye from the surface. The photocatalytic self- cleaning performance is determined as the half-life (minutes) of the dyes applied to the surface. 6 Instruments 6.1 Spraying system The method described in this standard relies on the possibili
45、ty to cover the sample surface with the dye in a controlled way. A spraying system shall be used to spread over the sample surface a solution of the dye (dye solution) in volatile solvent (acetone). The spraying system consists of a sample support and in a pneumatic system under pressure able to spr
46、ay the dye solution over the sample for different definite times. The dye solution shall be spread by using a spraying gun that forms a circular spot. This involves a normal (Gaussian) distribution of the amount of dye centred in the spot of the dye on the surface. The amount of solution spread over
47、 the test sample is controlled by changing the spraying time (t spr ) with a timer that opens and closes, with a precision of 0,01 s, the dye solution flow. The relative distance and orientation between the gun and the sample shall be changed in a way to obtain a symmetric covering of the surface of
48、 the test sample and the desired surface covered area. Due to the normal distribution of the colour intensity at the test piece surface, the dye surface covered area is defined as the area of the sample where the colour intensity is exp(2)approximately 13,5 % of the maximum intensity (see 8.2). The
49、optimal distance from the gun outlet to the surface of the test sample is referred as the spraying distance. A sketch of the pneumatic spraying system and of the sample support is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
