Surface Protection for Health and Senior Care - Experience Safe and Sustainable Cleaning
TiCoat® Surface Protect is an innovative cleaning solution engineered for interior and exterior use.Many popular cleaning methods are time-consuming, ineffective, expensive, and toxic. However, TiCoat® Surface Protect only needs to be applied once and uses either natural or artificial light to safely clean and deodorize contaminants that touch its surface. It safely protects surfaces for the long term, keeping them cleaner and smelling better.
This new, sustainable product is a reimagined and perfected improvement on technology that has been used in Japan for decades.
TiCoat® Surface Protect offers:
- Increased cleaning efficiency
- Improved air quality by reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)
- Continuous odor control
- Slip resistance by creating fast-drying surfaces
- Non-stick protection – contaminants and stains wash away quickly
This product is safe for people, animals, and the environment. It’s self-cleaning (using light to clean surfaces), transparent, and engineered for long-lasting protection.

Surface Protection for Health and Senior Care FAQ
Here are answers to common questions about TiCoat® and surface protection for health and senior care facilities. If we don’t answer all your questions here, please visit our main FAQ page or contact us.
How Does TiCoat® Work?
TiCoat® Surface Protect is a ceramic photocatalyst protective coating that actively cleans and deodorizes using light, oxygen, and water in the air to break down contaminants and odors that touch its surfaces.
Once applied to a surface, it converts light energy from any source – including sunlight, fluorescent light, and LED light – to create a reaction with contaminants and odors.
Wipe treated surfaces with a water-based cleaner and let TiCoat® reduce organic stains and eliminate odors.
Where can TiCoat® be used in health and senior care settings?
TiCoat® Surface Protect is great for small, midsize, and large-scale applications in health centers and senior care facilities. This includes interior and exterior surfaces in hospitals, urgent care centers, medical offices, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior living communities, and other public health or long-term care facilities.
TiCoat® works on porous and non-porous surfaces including metals, plastics, glass, wood, painted and stained surfaces, cement, stucco, fabrics, and more.
What are the benefits of TiCoat® in health and senior care facilities?
There are many benefits of using TiCoat® in healthcare institutions, independent living facilities that provide residents with in-home care and improved quality of life and well-being, as well as nursing facilities and other institutions where older adults need a higher level of care from skilled nursing professionals.
For example, after applying TiCoat® to bathrooms with significant odor, you can see immediate and sustained odor control, which can help improve the patient and resident experience.
Likewise, TiCoat® shows results in faster drying floors, creating slip resistance in areas such as interior and exterior concrete, wood, or marble floors in common areas, lobbies, walkways, resident rooms, spas, and other wellness amenities.
Slip-resistant floors can help make walkways safer for patients, residents, caregivers, and family members visiting their loved ones, especially those with disabilities or impairments.
How long does the protection last?
TiCoat® is a long-lasting coating which does not require constant reapplication. It’s water-resistant and can only be removed abrasively or chemically, and will remain active as long as it’s exposed to light, water, and oxygen. If a treated surface, such as a floor, wall, sink, or handrail, is painted over or covered, the protective benefits will no longer remain active.
Why TiCoat®?
TiCoat® Surface Protect is an innovative, safe, and sustainable solution with a one-step application process manufactured to last on surfaces. It offers superior surface protection, helping keep high-traffic areas in health and senior care environments cleaner and smelling better.
Previous technology worked only with UV light, but TiCoat® works with any light source. It’s a long-lasting, fast-acting, self-cleaning surface coating that’s free of harmful chemicals. It dries clear on any surface, including fabric and solid surfaces, making it easier to maintain surface cleanliness and actively remove toxic residues left behind by normal cleaning procedures.
This contributes to greater sustainability and lower cleaning product costs, and reducing cleaning time, costs, and labor by up to 20% or more.
Is TiCoat® safe?
Third party safety testing by Enviro-Chem Labs in California found TiCoat® 100% safe. It’s at seven on the pH scale – the same pH as water. It has no VOCs or SVOCs, contains no harmful metals, and is not harmful to aquatic life.
It’s water-based and a more sustainable, more efficient solution. TiCoat® is food contact safe, meaning it will not transfer from surface to food. It’s slip resistant, has been rigorously tested and approved by Green Seal, and is a PFAS-free technology. TiCoat® is also certified Clean Air Gold and made in the USA.
Many commonly used cleaners are toxic and require rinsing with water after application. According to the EPA, indoor concentrations of some pollutants have increased in recent decades – cleaning supplies, paints, insecticides, and other commonly used products introduce many different chemicals, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), directly into the indoor air.
Indoor air pollutants can contribute to various health effects, including:
- Eyes, nose, and throat irritation
- Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue
- Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer
Additionally, a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found many employees at an outpatient medical clinic experienced respiratory and central nervous system symptoms due to elevated levels of VOCs and carbon monoxide in shared hallways.
TiCoat® reduces toxicity by breaking down harmful residues left behind by these chemicals. This further contributes to improved safety in healthcare facilities, assisted living centers, nursing facilities, and other senior living facilities.
How do I get TiCoat®?
TiCoat® is available in the USA and by shipment internationally. Healthcare providers can access TiCoat® Surface Protect directly through TiCoat® approved sales associates and certified installers. Please contact us for more information.
TiCoat® Certified Installers are available regionally and will treat surfaces in minutes using a standard air compressor and spray gun. If your organization has staff or a preferred service provider, TiCoat® can readily arrange for certification training. The process consists of both classroom and hands-on training, which typically takes just one day.
How much TiCoat® do I need?
The amount of TiCoat® Surface Protect needed depends on the square footage of the area to be treated and the type of surface material. On a non-porous surface, such as painted surfaces, one gallon of TiCoat® is estimated to cover approximately 4,500 square feet of surface area. On a porous surface, such as raw concrete or brick, a gallon is estimated to cover approximately 2,500 square feet of surface area.
