UV TECHNOLOGY

It has been over 140 years since Downes & Blunt discovered the antibacterial effects of sunlight. They determined that shorter wavelengths of the solar spectrum were more effective at neutralizing bacteria. It is now known that there are germicidal effects of UV-C, UV-B, UV-A light. Our technology builds on this research and brings a new approach that enables UV light to be even more effective and adaptable to every day uses.

Key benefits of using light

No chemicals
Affordable
Kills rapidly – starting within seconds
Microbial cells cannot develop resistance to this technology
Proven ability to be able to deploy it safely to kill bacteria, mold, fungi, and even viruses

UV Light

Germ-killing light targets the NA & RNA of microbes

DNA & RNA is the genetic material that makes up all living organisms, controlling their growth, development, functioning and reproduction. UV light produces electromagnetic energy that can destroy the ability of microorganisms to reproduce and cause inactivation of microbes by causing mutations and/or cell death. UV light produces electromagnetic energy that can destroy the ability of microorganisms to reproduce and by causing photochemical reactions in nucleic acids (DNA & RNA). The ultraviolet energy triggers the formation of specific thymine or cytosine dimers in DNA and uracil dimers in RNA, which causes inactivation of microbes by causing mutations and/or cell death and failure to reproduce.

The ultraviolet sterilization is characterized in that the ultraviolet sterilization is the irradiation, destruction, and change of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structure of the microorganism through the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, so that the bacteria can be instantly killed or the offspring can not be propagated, and the purpose of sterilization is achieved. The true bactericidal effect is UVC ultraviolet because the C-band ultraviolet is very easy to be absorbed by the DNA of the organism, especially about 253.7 nm of the ultraviolet ray is the best. The ultraviolet sterilization belongs to a pure physical disinfection method, is simple and convenient, and has no secondary pollution.
