UV DISINFECTION AND SANITIZATION

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) has been a trusted disinfection method since the mid-20th century.
Originally employed mainly in medical sanitation and sterile environments, UVGI plays a vital role in sterilizing indoor air and surfaces in the living, working and entertainment spaces.UVGI works by utilizing ultraviolet light to deactivate the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, preventing their reproduction and rendering them harmless.

​

Our UVGI solutions are designed to be powerful, prudent, and proactive, serving as an effective complement to traditional cleaning methods.

Ultraviolet (UV) Light: Types of UV Light: UV light is classified into three main types based on wavelength: UV-C (100-280 nm) light is most effective for disinfection.
Mechanism: UV-C light damages the nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) of microorganisms. This damage prevents them from replicating and renders them inactive.​

Broad Spectrum: Effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It can inactivate pathogens such as E. coli, influenza viruses, and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19).

Non-Toxicity: No Chemicals: UV disinfection does not use chemical agents. This eliminates the risk of chemical residues, which is particularly advantageous in settings like food processing or medical environments.
No Byproducts: UV light does not produce harmful byproducts that can linger in the environment.

No Residual Effect  -  Non-Accumulative: Once the UV source is turned off, the disinfection process stops. There are no residual effects or lingering substances left behind.
Environmentally Friendly: Because UV disinfection does not involve chemicals, there’s no risk of residual contamination or environmental impact from the disinfection process itself.​​​

Standards and Guidelines: UV disinfection has been approved by various health and safety organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). These organizations recognize UV-C light as a reliable method for disinfection when used properly.
Usage in Various Settings: UV disinfection is widely used in healthcare facilities, laboratories, food handling and HVAC systems.

​​UV disinfection is a powerful, non-toxic, and effective method for sanitizing air and surfaces.

It operates without leaving residual chemicals and has been well-regarded for its effectiveness against a range of pathogens. Proper safety measures and system maintenance are essential to ensure both efficacy and safety.​​
