WHAT IS THE NEED TO DISINFECT AN AREA? Disinfection is the process of cleaning surfaces that may have germs on them. Disinfections processes include physical and chemical methods of removing diseasecausing bacteria from surfaces that come in human/animal contact. When you disinfect an area, it means that you are deactivating the bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. After a thorough disinfection, an area can be up to 99.9% free from germs.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTING
WHY CHOOSE UV DISINFECTION DEVICES? Using UV Light For Room Disinfection is a physical process of deactivating harmful microbes. UV disinfection is a fast and trusted method that allows deactivating disease-causing germs. UV disinfection devices are portable and easy to use. Devices such as UV lamps, torches, and tubes offer long-term use, thus they are money-saving in comparison with chemical methods. The process of UV disinfection is more efficient than chemical disinfection methods (such as alcohol disinfection, chlorination,
Two most popular types of UV disinfection devices are:
• UV only Devices They emit Short Wave UV rays (UVC) which are safe for humans to handle, however, deadly for the germs.
• UV+ Ozone Devices They emit UV-C rays along with Ozone gas which reacts with cells of germs and deactivates them. Children should not handle the device.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTING
Almost all of the UV disinfection devices available on the market have a spectral wavelength between 100-280 nm.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF UV DISINFECTION DEVICES AVAILABLE FOR USE?
HOW LONG DOES UV DISINFECTION TAKE? On average, UV disinfection will take around 30 minutes. Larger rooms/facilities may need more time to become germ-free, when using UV disinfection. fore the process, any UV producing device must reach a threshold The threshold is a set amount of time, after which the device starts producing enough UV rays for the disinfection process to begin.
HOW LONG DOES UV DISINFECTION TAKE? Like every lighting product, UV devices also have a set lifespan. After using for a set period of time, a UV device starts putting out visible light or non-UV rays. Thus, the disinfection effect of the lamp fades away. In general, UV lamps (that use a UV tube) provide 10,000 operational hours. If you have a UV lamp, make sure to change its UV tube once every year.
