How effective is UV-C ultraviolet light for disinfection?
This question often arises when companies are considering new ways of disinfection.
Solutions based on UV-C technology, developed over the last 30 years, are a cost-effective, viable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical disinfection methods, due to the increased resistance of microbes to chemicals and the presence of harmful products.
UV-C disinfection is based on radiation emitted at a wavelength of 253.7 nm to inactivate pathogens.
Biocidal devices using UV-C ultraviolet light technology are compact, giving users a wide range of options for how they can be integrated into spaces and ancillary equipment.
Overall infection control spending is projected to grow at an annual growth rate of 6.5% to $ 21.06 billion by 2022. Not surprisingly, the fastest growing segment is systems and new disinfection devices, representing the largest group of end users.
