Germicidal radiation UVC 253.7 nm and 265 nm

Germicidal lamps PROLUX G® under direct and indirect radiation UVC-LED and mercury lamps

Ultraviolet radiation Ultraviolet radiation can be described as an optical, electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 100 nm to 1 mm.

Ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 100 nm to 400 nm can be divided into:

Germicidal radiation

UVC wavelength 253.7 nm and 265 nm is invisible. This radiation, in the UVC spectrum, causes decay of microorganisms by disrupting their DNA structure and thus destructing them. The blue light produced by germicidal lamps is only a side product in this case and it is not disinfecting. Germicidal radiation does not permeate through dim, non-transparent materials, plastic, plastic foils or regular glass. These materials create a natural obstacle for the radiation. This radiation only permeates through a clear quartz glass and spe-cial Teflon foil.
