How Do Our UV Sterilizers Work?
UV sterilizer lights are an effective way to eliminate bacteria and viruses from air and surfaces. UV technology can help protect your home, school, or workplace. How does a UV sterilizer prevent the spread of germs?
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION
UV radiation comes directly from the sun. It is known for its short wavelengths. This form of light can help humans absorb calcium and phosphorous from food without causing extreme effects. It is occasionally used in an artificial form for lasers and tanning beds. These rays are reflected by liquid surfaces like the ocean or snow to increase their effect. UV rays are constantly being studied and used in new technology like bacteria elimination. They have been used as a form of pasteurization for milk due to their disinfecting properties.
Over time, experts discovered that ultraviolet radiation could neutralize bacteria by eliminating it and preventing it from reproducing. These rays have been used to disinfect hospital equipment due to their high levels efficacy. Bacteria is known to grow best in warm and dark places, which is in direct contrast with ultraviolet radiation. We have developed UV lights to harness this ability and provide a safe and economical disinfectant option.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF UV LIGHTS
There are three main types of UV light: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Each of these lights has unique properties and can prevent bacteria in different ways.
UV-A: These rays make up more of the UV light produced by the sunshine. They penetrate the deepest into the skin and have the longest wavelength of the three types. They are not absorbed by the ozone layer.
UV-B: These rays can cause sunburn on the skin and have the second longest wavelengths of the three types. They can also pass through the ozone layer to reach the earth's surface. Despite the risk, they can help to eliminate bacteria if managed safely. UV-B has also proven to have antimicrobial effects on agricultural pests, such as powdery mildew or spider mites.
UV-C: These rays are the most effective for eliminating germs. They have the shortest wavelengths and are fully absorbed by the ozone layer. UV-C has been used to eliminate bacteria and slow the spread of disease. It can eliminate up to 99.9% of microbes, including E. coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C. diff., Coronavirus, and more.
While UV-C rays are the most effective at preventing the spread of germs by deactivating the reproduction formation, UV-A and UV-B rays also have antibacterial properties. There are some risks with UV radiation, especially with overexposure. You can minimize the risk by avoiding direct contact with the rays.
UV STERILIZER TECHNOLOGY
UV sterilizer lights target the DNA and RNA of microbes to prevent their reproduction. They produce electromagnetic energy to lead to cell production inactivation. Many UV sterilizers include all three types of UV rays. Though UV-B rays can only affect certain germs, UV-A rays can cause cell death and UV-C lights eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold. These sterilizers include blue light along with the UV light. Violet-blue light has been proven to eliminate bacteria and the risk of human infection. Its wavelengths are similar in size to UV-A rays, but are slightly larger. They can disinfect air and surfaces, depending on the placement.
BENEFITS OF VIOLET DEFENSE’S UV DISINFECTION SOLUTIONS
NON-TOXIC
Our UV lights provide an alternative to harmful disinfection practices. You will not inhale or absorb dangerous chemicals.
