TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE USE OF UVC IN ISO TECH PRODUCTS
UV-C radiation is a proven and effective technology for destroying micro-organisms
Iso Italia Group, with over 30 years of experience in UV lamp sector presents its product line for disinfection with
UVC Steril Line germicidal lamps.
Germicidal lamps emit very short ultraviolet waves, deadly to micro-organisms.
Some information about Germicide lamps
Ultraviolet rays emit a very high energy level light with a wavelength between 200-400nm. In particular, radiation
with a 254nm wavelength has been scientifically proven to be extremely effective for disinfection. More than 90%
of the total UV radiation emitted is just 254nm. Wavelengths of 200-280nm are called UVC. Thus disinfection
using 254nm wavelength is called UVC Disinfection. Radiation of 254nm destroys micro-organisms by changing
the genetic information contained in their DNA, ensuring a 99.99% reduction.
Safety of UVC germicidal systems
Since UV-C rays present a danger to the skin and eyes, direct exposure to the rays should always be avoided. The
UV-C is blocked by a number of materials, including glass and most transparent plastics, so you can safely observe
a UV-C system if you look through a shielding system. UV-C provides disinfection without residues of any kind,
however these systems do not imply the need to eliminate or neutralise dangerous products after disinfection.
UVC germicidal systems are fast, inexpensive and eco-friendly, as no chemicals are added to air / water and there
are no hazardous or toxic chemicals to dispose of.
Benefits of UVC germicidal systems
Disinfection times are rapid, with a typical disinfection cycle lasting about 15 minutes (excluding germicidal air
systems). This allows extremely fast turnover times for sanitising environments. For its simplicity, UV-C disin-
fection is extremely easy to use. All surfaces within a certain distance, will observe a certain level of disinfection
for a certain period of time, provided that the light is not blocked and can reach the surface. It becomes very easy
to plan the use of a UV-C disinfection system when you are familiar with the simple usage protocols.
Applications of UVC germicidal systems
The applications of our germicidal systems are many and ever more numerous.
Systems are available for the disinfection of environments, air, objects and equipment, air conditioning ducts,
ambulances and other vehicles, ducts, belt conveyors and many other applications.
The guaranteed effectiveness of UVC systems
Out manufacturing unit knows the energy produced by all pieces of equipment, calculated by the number and
from the type of lamp used and by its designated function (application) (air purification, objects, environments).
From these technical values we determine the “DOSE” of UVC produced by each device (i.e. the energy of the
device multiplied by the ignition time. This type of calculation allows us to be sure of the germicidal efficiency,
as in medicine, on a global level, tables are used that indicate the required "DOSE" of UVC required to eliminate
all bacteria, spores and viruses.
