For example, they can absorb and remove air pollutants called nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are regarded as a global problem because they cause acid rain and urban ozone (photochemical smog) HYDROTECT removes NOx on the exterior walls 's not widely known, of buildings just as effectively as plants.” We deliver clean environments, even in cities where it is not easy to plant trees. HYDROTECT has the same purifying capabilities as plants. Do you have any idea roughly how much rain falls around the world? The answer is 108 trillion tons’ each year... much more than most people would even guess In an effort to harness the beneficial properties of this tremendous natural resource,"we have equipped HYDROTECT with self-cleaning capabilities, enabling it to use rainwater to clean* dirt from buildings naturally and eftectively. Your offices, apartment buildings and homes will become cleaner every time it rains HYDROTECT uses rainwater to wash away dirt.Let us tell you something interesting What can we do to make the planet healthier that will make you like cleaning. and people around the world happier? + 4 FNL: Germans have a saying: "Ort HYDROTECT harnesses the power of nature to purify As this suggests, it is very i ‘the air and minimize negative environmental forces, to keep your surroundings enabling you to make your everyday and tidy, because if you can > |= living environment more beautiful— do so on a day-to-day basis, you somehow get. =| without making any extra effort the feeling that a large part of your life will go well or changes to the way you live. HYDROTECT can help you do just that. TOTO intends to take HYDROTECT global Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-mold, anti-dirt to help protect environments all over the world, and anti-odor capabilities", HYDROTECT helps you harnessing much-needed technology keep your surroundings clean and even healthier, that strikes a balance leaving you free to enjoy your lite between eco-awareness and comfort HYDROTECT lends a hand HYDROTECT will help promote with day-to-day cleaning. environmental cleansing the world over.Harnessing the power of light to cleanse the environment Essential, HYDROTECT is an environmental cleaning technology utilizing photocatalyst that harness the power of ight and water to purify air and clean surfaces — automatically. It can be used effectively in numerous applications, from exterior walls to interior walls and floors. Ne Cin .“ reves dirt Prevents odors cute!

Feedback from overseas companies Dieter Schafer Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Steinzeug Cremer & Breuer AG(Germany) We have been using this groundbreaking environmental technology on ou ies for more than a decade now and have successfully increased sales based on the trusting and cooperative relationship that we have built up with TOTO, Athough environmental protection was not such a prevalent issue When we first started using HYDROTECT, “green building” has now become a major priority. HYDROTECT is likely to be an essential technology for use in both new buildings and renovations inthe future. ‘The various benefits offered by HYDROTECT will have an even greater impact as they are incorporated into more and more bulding materials As the number of companies using HYDROTECT is increasing, the future of our planet wll be a bright one, Photocatalyst-related patents and license agreements at work both wit Japan and abroad In addition to the basic invention of photoinduced super-hydrophilic technology, we have filed more than 1,200 domestic and overseas patent applications in relation fa to applied products, manufacturing technology and coating materials and have been 7 ees ‘granted approximately 350 worldwide patents to date. We have also signed license agreements with 87 manufacturers (including 17 overseas manufacturers) across ‘a wide range of sectors mainly in Japan, North America and Europe Basic patents granted in countries around the world Japan china | Hong Keng Taiwan Korea India Thailand Indonesia Phiipines Singapore Malaysia Vietnam United States Mexico Canada Brack Australia New Zealand Germany Czech Republic United Kingdom France hay Sweden Denmark Belgium Holland Luwxemburg | Spain Portugal Greece ‘Ausvia Monaco Switzerland Ireland, Finland & ardinat ois lodvow HYDROTECT licensee companies Track record in environmental contributions ‘sr puftieation offoct stained so far recognized both in Japan and globally Equivalent‘te approx, 150 mi of green land When converted to an area of green land that purifies the air in a similar way, ‘the air purification effect of HYDROTECT obtained to date is equivalent ‘to approx. 150 million m: This means that the amount of NOx discharged by ‘approx. 1.8 million passenger cars? has been purified, HYDROTECT has been recognized for its unique technology that cleans houses and the air with the force of nature, and itis highly valued by public institutions.
