In the automotive city in Wolfsburg, 25 hectares large topic park at the headquarters of the VW group, one goes to that with the plaster innovative ways toward environmental protection. „ lastingness and the use of environmentalcareful materials are since always important topics for the automotive city. Therefore it was not for us a question that we use these unusual and trend-setting stones: for us a environmentalfair investment into the future \ " , autocity branch leader Otto Ferdinand wax said. In Wolfsburg April new paving on the Piazza free area and before the customer center ensures for fresh air by purposeful pollutant reduction since in the middle of. Also in the Bavarian market damp expressed itself the local council expressly for the environmentalactive surface, even if the innovative paving-stones load the Stadtsäckel somewhat more. Clean air for its citizens is the responsible persons highest requirement and in such a way becomes damp centers now a component of the local environmental activities. „ we intended, with our redevelopment concerning town construction not with pure adornments stand to remain \ " , so the first mayor Konrad Rupprecht, „ we also functional improvements wanted to reach from the outset, which make our redevelopment of the town core a really lasting enterprise. \ " As one of the first municipalities in Germany the market damp decided pollutant for reducing plaster. „ we are sure that we make a small – however important – contribution with the decision for this surface with relative small extra costs for nitrogen oxide reduction. Other municipalities should emulate it to us. \ " Hightech cement for environmentalactive concrete products the paving-stones from concrete, whose surfaces under effect of daylight and sun exposure reduce harmful nitrogen oxides, were &quot with the new cement \; TioCem \ " manufactured, the titanium dioxides (TiO2) contains. Concrete products, which are manufactured with TioCem, can convert up to 90% of the existing air pollutants into more compatible components. Particularly in the traffic, in the direct break area of humans, the materials concerned result and provoke the respiratory system. In all construction units, which contain TioCem, the titanium oxide works as photo catalyst so called, which the natural oxidation process accelerated and so a faster transformation of the nitrogen oxides causes into harmless components. Since the titanium dioxide does not use itself – like all catalysts –, the process of transformation arbitrarily often repeats itself. Fresh air – TioCem improves quality of life as in Lower Saxony or Bavaria could soon everywhere pollutants by the use of intelligent building materials be effectively reduced and thus the efforts of politics and society for environmental protection be supported. Because in principle in the future each concrete product can be manufactured in such a way that it reduces nitrogen oxides in its environment noticeably. Whether with concrete paving-stones, with roof stones, in carriageway pavements, with facade components or with noise protection walls: One does not regard it to the products that they have a photo-catalytically active surface, which is permanently effective. They are not to be differentiated from other concrete products and also their performance characteristics remain resembling. HeidelbergCement supervises the photo-catalytic activity of all products with the TX Active label and examines it therefore also with the final products of its customers. Because do not only have to meet the cement also the building products locally the high requirements of the quality character permanently.
