16 November 2021

Does UV sterilization kill Viruses, Bacteria, and Germs? What are its advantages? With the more and more arrival of UV sterilization products in the market, we start to think more about these questions.

UV light has been used for disinfection and sterilization since the 20th century. The continuous evolution of advancements in technology, especially in UV lights, and its durability and long lifespan have elevated the effectiveness of UV light sterilization in various fields. The popularity of UV lights in the disinfection of water, air, fruits, vegetables, surgical products, electronic devices, and numerous surfaces proved the UV sterilization effectiveness.

In UV sterilization, all types of UV lights are not effective. Only UV-C (100-280nm) has enough energy to destroy micro-organisms for effective UV sterilization. When you look for a UV sterilization product for your home or business, ensure that its UV wavelength comes in between 100-280 nm, which means the UV-C.

The power of the UV sterilization system proved through various studies that show UV-C at 254 nm is more effective against all pathogens, viruses, germs, and bacteria. The microorganisms come in different sizes and shapes, and the UV disinfection can break the genetics of organisms, and the required time for killing each species varies most of the time.
