Gineico Lighting now represents some of the world’s leading Italian lighting manufacturers. The relationships with our Italian brands have been firmly established over a number of years. Together with our brands we enjoy a mutual respect for technical support and authentic design.

Q. 16 What is AirCoral and how does it purify the air?

AirCoral® is an innovative new material created by Buzzi & Buzzi, patented and certified by the TCNA (Tile Council of North America). It is characterized by its eco-active, anti-polluting, anti-bacterial and photocatalytic properties, effectively improving the quality of life for those inhabiting the areas where it has been installed. In addition to the qualities of robustness and aesthetic appeal which characterize Coral®, AirCoral® is distinguished by its bactericidal action against pathogenic agents carrying potentially serious diseases. It also has the capacity to break down pollutants encountered in the urban environment, such as Hexane, a toxic gas produced by the use of hydrocarbons for fuel and heating.

The revolutionary new feature of this material lies in its capacity to purify the air, making the areas where it is installed significantly cleaner, healthier and more hygienic, and reducing the harmful effects of the main polluting agents. This cleansing action is carried out even in the absence of light. AirCoral® is therefore ideal for use in all those instances of private premises or public buildings (hospitals, health centres, hotels, schools and kindergartens, nightspots…), where there is a particular need for a healthy environment.
