UV-C sterilization in water bottles gives all-day protection
Several manufacturers have started applying this new technology in producing water bottles. Since UVC light is known to be useful in inactive living cells and destroying DNA structure, it certainly destroys bacteria and viruses. The technology involving UV-C sterilization in water bottles is used firstly for disinfection in hospitals, and it can also bring benefits to other areas. Let's take a look at this technology application in the following article.
Illustration of Ultraviolet (UV) region and its band components in the electromagnetic spectrum.
UV-C sterilization technology
The UV region is divided into 3 bands: UVA, UVB and UVC. Among them, UVC shows the good ability to kill bacteria and has the strongest penetration, therefore, the highest effect in sterilization.
UVC has been applied widely in many industries as well as in our daily life. The next picture shows the mechanism of UV-C sterilization in water bottles.
An UVC can deactivate living cells.
UVC band applied in sterilization has the wavelength range of between 200nm and 300nm. Absorbed by DNA, it destroys DNA structure and inactivates living cells in organic body. It means that every microorganism, including bacteria and viruses, is destroyed by UVC. The UVC device is designed to have suitable wavelength and sufficient intensity to destroy bacteria and viruses, while leaving no impact on human body organism.
Now thanks to technology achievements, manufacturers have begun applying.UV-C sterilization in water bottles so that the bottle can self-clean. We have no longer to spend time cleaning the bottle many times each day or worry about the infection following the whole day of holding water.
Since UV light can kill bacteria and has strong penetration into human skin, scientists have applied it for sterilization in a number of areas such as food industry, hospital and hygiene.
UV-C sterilization in water bottles
Keeping food containers clean is essential in minimizing the risk of diseases. Among them, water bottles have become a key item in our daily life, being taken along everywhere, from school to office to construction sites.
However, beverages kept for the whole day can be infected with bacteria. They could cause several problems with such as stomach ache, digestive bacterial infection or diarrhea, which if lasting long, could worsen human health.
UC-V sterilization in water bottles
The picture above shows the intelligent UV-C technology which can clean the inner surfaces of the water bottle by eliminating odor-causing bacteria and viruses in about 5 minutes.
When the user taps the cap, the UV-C light can activate automatically every 2 hours to remove odor and disinfect the inside bottle. The technology can eliminate up to 99% bacteria and viruses.
It is not difficult to find water bottles which can be self-cleaned with UVC. However, they have yet to gain much popularity so far.
It is expected that UVC flasks will be disseminated in the near future. There are several brands of water bottles with UV-C sterilization such as LARQ, Ampere, Kiyo, Auron, and Cap2O. However, these flasks cost much more than the ordinary types.
