Super Paint

Designed by Bala Balaguru a Professor at Rutgers University, Ultimate paint is an amazing invention. Ultimate paint is graffiti resistant, can repair cracks in concrete, it is impervious to mold, is fire proof, and dries nearly as hard as a diamond. In theory, if you paint your house with it, you wouldn't need to paint your house for another 1,000 years. The formula is based on the Chinese Terra-Cotta Army, which is nearly 2,000 old, with the main base of it being Alumina Silicate. What makes it really amazing is that it has a unique ability to purify the atmosphere. The ingrediant, Titanium Oxide, makes it so that when the sunlight hits the paint, the UV energy essentially destroys the organic particles around it, pulling pollution out of the air. If painted on buildings around the world, nitrogen oxide, one of the pollutants in the air would land on the paint, and the titanium Oxide would act as a catylist and begin to break down the particles, turning them back into seperate particles, of Nitrogen, and Oxygen. Ultimate Paint is still in test phases, but initial tests have gotten rave reviews. I got this information from the Science Channel, on a show called Eco-Tech, original air date: 8-22-07. Unfortunately I have been unable to find more information on the internet at this time.

I saw that last night, and I find it very odd that there's no information about it on the Internet besides your post.

lol, I went to goole and started feeverishly searching for more information about his product and that search has lead me here. If you want to learn more btw ... go to the Rutgers University site and look up Professor Balaguru's email address. I'm sure he wouldn't mind sending more information.
