UV-C TECHNOLOGY
UV-C TECHNOLOGY
What UV-C light is?
- Ultraviolet (UV) light is non-visible and has higher energy than visible light
- Situated on the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and X-Rays Classified into three wavelength ranges, each having different applications: o UV-A 315 – 400 nm Insect traps, detection of forgeries, drying inks & paints o UV-B 280 – 315 nm Suntanning, medical therapy o UV-C 100 – 280 nm UV-C Disinfection (germicidal range between 250-280nm)
- UV-C also known as “Germicidal Energy” and it can destroy germs
- No UV-C from the sun reaches the Earth surface
How does UV-C disinfection work?
- UV-C wavelengths destroy the DNA and RNA of pathogens like viruses and biological micro-organisms, including bacteria, protozoa, and yeast
- This prevents pathogens from dividing and multiplying, and effectively deactivating them
- The UV-C disinfection process is quantified in log reduction value (LRV), which expresses the number of pathogens inactivated by UV disinfection
Advantages & Benefits
- No hazardous by products
- Fast and efficient UV-C disinfection
- Ideal for sensitive surfaces and materials
- Immediate use of the disinfected areas – No waiting time needed
- Clean and Inexpensive method for large and complex areas
- 100% accuracy in UV-C disinfection each time
- Huge savings on the long run
UV-C Benefits
The lamps are suitable for many applications
such as personal, professional and home.
UV-C Disinfection is Non-Toxic
The most important benefit of UV light disinfection is that it’s non-toxic. Unlike harsh chemicals that are sometimes used in cleaning and sanitization products, UV light is environmentally friendly.
UV-C Disinfection is Effective and Safe
UV light is the most effective and fast disinfection method since it kills almost all harmful organisms withing seconds. UV light disinfection is safe for use on food as well as food prep services and non-food items.
UV-C Disinfection is Affordable
It can save you time and money for years because the unique property of our lens means you will not have maintenance costs over the life of the product and since the unit can operate autonomously when installed you don’t have the associated labor costs over time like other methods do.
