HOW DOES UV LIGHT KILL GERMS?

Over 140 years ago 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 widely known that there are substantial germicidal and anti-bacterial effects from UV-C, UV-B, and UV-A light spectrums.

Light is comprised of different wavelengths, each with their own unique properties. The germicidal properties of ultraviolet (UV) light, part of the non-visible spectrum, can be harnessed to effectively sanitize the air, water and surfaces. At the appropriate wavelength and fluence (dose), exposure to ultraviolet light modifies or destroys the genetic material (DNA and RNA) in viruses, bacteria and mold, preventing replication.

PBI Ultra's air and surface sanitizing products employ various combinations of UV light and filtration to inactivate pathogens, including Far UV-C (200-230nm) which is safe for human exposure, UV-C (231-280nm), UVB and UV-A (365nm).

THE BENEFITS OF UVC LIGHT

Protects against airborne contamination in shared spaces
Chemical-free, no residues, zero environmental impacts
Eliminates bacteria and viruses from air and surfaces
Ideal method to sanitize everyday objects at home & work
Reduces sick-leave, improving productivity and saving costs
No superbug has ever developed resistance
Disinfection cycles are easy to use
Improves workflows by decreasing the frequency and intensity of traditional manual cleaning
Quick and easy to install
Set & forget with smart technology
Provides a safe, healthy environment for people to people to live, work and play

Our approach is making UVC disinfection technology accessible to organizations & environments with any size budget.
