Sterilux is a patented, light-activated surface treatment that uses quantum resonance photocatalysis to continuously destroy pathogens in the air and on surfaces.

We license this technology to manufacturers who build it into their products — and we stand behind it with our Sterilux Care service that monitors the sterilization performance over time.

Technology

The right light for each job.

Visible light where people are. UVC where they aren’t.

Occupied spaces

Visible-light photocatalysis

For the air and surfaces people share. It runs continuously while the room is in use.

  1. Visible light (450–700 nm) reaches a patented catalytic membrane.
  2. The membrane (nano titanium dioxide, copper ions and silicon dioxide) produces reactive oxygen.
  3. Reactive oxygen breaks down bacteria, viruses, mold and spores in the air and on surfaces.
  4. It runs continuously in occupied rooms, with no UVC exposure and no chemicals.
Industrial

LED UVC disinfection

For industrial settings where no one is exposed, including enclosed water treatment.

  1. UVC LEDs emit germicidal light at 220–230 nm.
  2. The light works inside enclosed reactors, equipment or unoccupied areas, so no one is exposed.
  3. UVC disrupts microbial DNA and RNA so organisms cannot reproduce.
  4. The LEDs switch on instantly, contain no mercury and need no chemical dosing.
