Technilamp is South Africa’s leading supplier of UVGI (Ultra Violet Germicidal Irradiation) lamps and equipment for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).

The reality of today’s modern lifestyle is that indoor air is much more polluted than outdoor air. Indoor air is trapped, re-circulated, and full of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, moulds and mildew. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an issue of growing concern for leaders in industry absenteeism and productivity and particularly the medical industry.

Infection is spread in many ways, the two most common being contact and inhalation. Historically, regular surface cleaning and hand washing have been the accepted ways to combat infection risks. Whilst these actions are vitally important, little is currently done to reduce the risks of infection from inhalation of airborne micro-organisms.

To this end, Technilamp together with local and international research and medical institutions have developed a range of UV sterilization fittings and equipment which has been designed to solve the problem of cross infection and the spread of diseases (TB, SARS, Flu and other pathogens).

Upper Air Sterilization

The Technilamp R1 and R2 ceiling mounted fittings effectively fight the source of TB in hospitals, clinics, banks, office blocks, rates halls, counters, reception areas and anywhere people are concentrated in confined areas.

Feature of UV	Benefit of UV
Sterilizes and kills pathogens floating in the air	Prevents the spread of dangerous airborne diseases. This is not possible with chemicals as they are dangerous when inhaled
Has no residual effect. UV sterlizes, but leaves no after effects	Chemicals dont cut off when they have done their work, but continue the detrimental effect into human lungs
Fit and forget. UV needs no attention and operates without supervision or management	Chemicals have to be rigidly supervised and managed to prevent over and under dosing, both of which can be dangerous
Low operating cost	Very econmical requiring no rationing, storing or otherwise tying up capital
No shrinkage. Low risk product which is difficult to remove and has no value on the elicate market	Subject to shrinkage

Fittings are not intrusive, being aesthetically pleasing and offering continuous protection to all with best quality endorsements.
