Voltas AC launches UVC based disinfectant solutions

Voltas has launched a new line of Ultraviolet Light (UVC) based surface disinfectant solutions in addition to the engineered UVC- based air and duct disinfectant solutions that the industry leader has been offering to its consumers for the past several years. This is in line with the Tata Group's commitment towards serving the community and making a positive social impact.There are growing concerns about using central Air-Conditioning systems in offices and commercial spaces, owing to suspicions that the virus is transmitted through AC vents, said Pradeep Bakshi, Managing Director & CEO, Voltas. “As the Indian economy recovers from the shock of COVID-19 and people resume work, it is essential for organizations to give utmost priority to the health and safety of personnel and their families. Our UV-powered offerings for Duct, Air and Surface disinfectants complement the immediate and long-term need for safety in shared spaces like malls, waiting rooms and offices, thereby reiterating Voltas' position as a leading HVAC brand.” The company has collaborated with its engineering partners to increase its portfolio of UVC based products to address the concern of viruses surviving on surfaces. The new bouquet of products include RUKS CoiloTron, that ensures near total elimination of mold, fungi, and microbes on the cooling coil and drain pan; the handHeld portable disinfection unit designed for rapid sanitation of any surface; UV Cart System designed to deliver high germicidal intensity to sanitize the area and inactivate micro-organisms in a short time; and the RUKS GermiTron Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UGVI) System that can kill 90% of bacteria and virus per pass. This indoor air quality and bactericidal management system has a scientifically proven design with computerized selection to assure delivery of specified or target kill rate.
