AIR PURIFYING / REGULATES HUMIDITY > ANTI MOULDING / BACTERIAL
AIR PURIFYING
- Catalytic reactions help to break down
toxic VOCs like formaldehyde and
unpleasant odours into harmless by-
products such as H₂O and CO₂.
- Keeping the interior safe from these
airborne pollutants
REGULATES HUMIDITY
- Cair effectively absorbs and releases
moisture accordingly to maintain
optimum humidity levels for the comfort
and health.
- The ultra-fine pores in the paint coat
also facilitate the release of the
absorbed moisture, to ensure that
humidity levels are maintained at
optimum level.
covid-19 safe design guidelines ver1.0
> VOC-FREE / ODOURLESS
ANTI-MOULDING
- Reduce moisture accumulation on the walls
to prevent mould growth.
- Cair’s formulation contains hygroscopic
material that absorbs excess moisture in the
air.
- Cair also contains powerful antimicrobial
agents that form a protective layer over the
surfaces.
ANTI-BACTERIAL
- Eliminates 99.9% of infection causing
bacterial such as E.coli & S. Aureus for a
cleaner and more sterile interior.
- Paint at microscopic level has a unique
tetrahedral structure which punctures the
membrane of bacteria that comes into
contact with applied surfaces causing
bacteria cells to dehydrate and perish.
VOC-FREE
- Cair is non-toxic and contains
zero VOCs
- Cair’s core material is plant-
based, with minimal chemical
additives.
ODOURLESS
- Cair emits minimal odour for a
safer painting process.
- Contain less chemicals than other
paint which avoids the detrimental
health effects of exposure. Release
of less harmful gases into the
atmosphere, lower fume emission
also reduce ozone contamination.

 9 Reduction of Decorative FF&E

Best Western, which has more than 5,000 hotels worldwide, said it will remove “unnecessary items” like decorative
pillows from guest rooms as part of its enhanced sanitization procedures. And Hilton is doing away with the pen,
paper, and guest directory normally provided in each room unless specifically requested.

Recommendation:
• To keep 10 sets of decorative bed runners and throw pillows for each bed type (E.g. queen, single, king).
• Decorative bed runners and throw pillows are for VVIPS and styling use.
• All bedroom should come with 4 sleeping pillows in replacement of the 2 decorative pillows.
