CenturyPly, a leading manufacturer of innovative products, has introduced a unique range of CenturyLaminates and Century Plywood, equipped with ViroKill Technology. This innovative approach addresses the global pandemic's fears of viruses and is a testament to CenturyPly's commitment to innovation.
ViroKill is a technology that is equipped with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It provides customers with peace of mind during and after the global pandemic. The addition of ViroKill Technology enhances the products' effectiveness.
Let’s have a look at the details of ViroKill’s amazing features and possibilities.
CenturyPly manufactures its plywood and laminates using a specially designed nanoparticle-based self-doctoring surface treatment against microbes through AAAA (A-4). A-4 is a comprehensive safety protection mechanism. These particles have antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties by nature. The name "ViroKill" has been given to this technology.
Through contact-killing processes, the highly activated and energised nanoparticles physically burst and kills virus that come into contact with them, ensuring that surfaces remain safe and clean at all times.
CenturyPly products/materials featuring ViroKill technology are certified by the Department of Science & Technology (DST), earning India's trust for their effectiveness.
• Name of Test: Measurement of Antiviral Activity on Plastics and Other Non-Porous Surfaces and Coating Materials
• Name of Test Protocol: ISO 21702: 2019
• Scope of Method: This test specifies a method for measuring antiviral activity on plastic and other non-porous surfaces of antiviral-treated products against specified viruses.
With ViroKill, you can be assured of a safer and cleaner environment backed by rigorous testing and certification.
CenturyPly ViroKill products have undergone rigorous testing at one of India's most renowned testing laboratories, Biotech Testing Services (BTS) in Mumbai. These products have been certified to meet international standards, ensuring their effectiveness and reliability.
The two tests conducted were:
1. Antimicrobial Efficacy Test
• Standards: JIS Z 2801:2010 (international standard)
• Scope: This test evaluates both antibacterial and antifungal efficacy against specific microbes.
2. Antiviral Efficacy Test
• Standards: ISO 21702:2019 (international standard)
• Scope: This test measures antiviral activity on plastic and other non-porous surfaces treated with antiviral products.
These certifications guarantee that CenturyPly ViroKill products provide superior antimicrobial and antiviral protection, making them a reliable choice for safer and healthier environments.
The test results attest to the 99.99 per cent virus-fighting capacity of CenturyLaminates and CenturyPly products. When a virus comes into touch with surfaces made of Century Plywood or Century Laminates, its cell walls will burst, and it will die.
Depending on the local configuration, the killing mechanism can take a few minutes to several hours to finish. The operation begins instantly. It will not, however, eradicate any viruses that are present close to the furniture.
Note: Misuse of the product, such as exposure to extremes in temperature, humidity, sunshine, or wetness, can also have an impact on how well it performs.
The other important features of CenturyPly products with ViroKill technology are as follows:
1. Thermostable: The product is not affected by usual heat, humidity, dampness, or sunlight when using the ViroKill Technology.
2. Safe for Human Contact: Because the surfaces coated with ViroKill Technology will eradicate 99.99% of viruses, individuals of all ages can safely touch them. Because its products are created from non-hazardous raw materials, they are non-toxic.
3. Lifetime Effects: The ViroKill Technology's effects do not diminish with time, provided that the furniture surface is not damaged chemically or physically. For an extended period, the surfaces and furniture in your home will be free of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms thanks to the nanoparticles' integration into the polymer matrix system.
The ViroKill feature is ingrained in several CenturyPly products, including both plywood and decoratives.
• ArchitectPly
• CenturyPly Club Prime
• CenturyPly Bond 710
• CenturyPly Pro 710
• CenturyPly Teak
• CenturyLaminates
• CenturyVeneers SenzuraStyles
CenturyPly's whole research and development team focused on finding a long-term solution to address one of its customers' main concerns—the fear of viruses—during the lockdown. After working nonstop for several days, the group was able to create virus-killing surfaces for plywood and laminates by using nanotechnology. This indigenous invention reflects the values of a Self-Reliant India and is proof of New India's will to use cutting-edge technology to overcome hardship.
