03 Aug Hygiene and Sanitization with UV-C rays against COVID-19
TPA offers a unique and complete product range
In a world that changes and presents us new and unexpected challenges like a global pandemic, our way of living in common spaces is also transformed, bringing into play the responsibility of each one.
When it comes to people’s safety and health, a comprehensive approach is needed. TPA sanitization solutions have been designed to ensure excellent hygiene and sanitation in all sectors: residential, business, public.
Ultraviolet light has an excellent effectiveness in neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus
This team of researchers says that ultraviolet rays have an effect on the Covid-19 virus: they manage to inactivate the viral load.
In the experiment, droplets of liquid of different sizes containing Sars-CoV-2 were placed under the lamps, to simulate what can be emitted by speaking or with a sneeze.
A low dose of virus has been used in the experiment (what can be found in a room where a positive is present), a hundred times higher dose (which can be found in a subject with severe form of Covid-19).
Then, a quantity thousand times higher, impossible to find in a human being or in any real situation, has been evaluated.
In all three cases the viral load was inactivated to 99.9% in a few seconds by a small amount of UV-C rays.
How UV-C rays work
Light is one of many forms of energy in the form of radiation: it extends from radio waves to cosmic rays and is cataloged in 16 different types according to their wavelength.
Ultraviolet light is an interval of electromagnetic radiation and has a wavelength slightly less than the light visible by the human eye, and slightly higher than that of X-rays.
Ultraviolet radiation is divided into three bands of different wavelengths called UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. The exact wavelengths on which the three bands are defined vary according to the specific areas of study. The most used subdivision is however the following:
- UV-A: 315 – 400 nm: they have a low energy level and are responsible for tanning.
- UV-B: 280 – 315 nm:they have a higher energy level than UV-A and cause harmful effects that are not particularly serious for the human body.
- UV-C: 200 – 280 nm:they have a high energy content and have been studied by TPA in order to be used in bacterial and virus disinfection processes.
The germicidal effect is due to the destructive effect exerted by UV-C radiation on the DNA of bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, molds and mites: UV-C rays, in fact, damage their reproductive system and prevent their spread.
UV-C rays have a strong germicidal effect and are most effective at the wavelength of 253.7 nm (nanometers).
How TPA products with UV-C technology can be used
TPA manufactures a wide range of products for domestic and industrial use. Our products can be used as a germicidal tool to sanitize environments and inactivate Covid-19 in hotels, wellness centers, restaurants, clinics and hospitals, food companies, canteens, transport, environments open to the public, high-traffic areas.
What are the main advantages of using TPA products with UV-C technology?
- Bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, molds and mites are all sensitive to UV-C rays.
- Microbes cannot acquire resistance to UV-C rays, as happens instead with the use of chemical disinfectants and antibiotics.
- UV-C rays are environmentally friendly. With the use of normal disinfectants environmental pollution is inevitable. There is also a danger of serious risks they can occur by direct inhalation of vapors or by food pollution caused by toxic chemicals.
- The use of ultraviolet rays in the food, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries allows to reduce the quantities or completely eliminate chemical detergents with significant economic savings and greater attention to the environment, maintaining and almost always improving the level of sanitization.
- TPA products with UV-C technology always keep constant the sanitization ensuring ideal conditions in terms of hygiene without ups and downs. On the contrary, chemical disinfectants perform their action with maximum effectiveness only at the time of their use.
- TPA products with UV-C technology guarantee 99.9% less bacteria in short times.
