Beyond Surface Protection: Exploring the Science Behind Virokill Technology by CenturyPly

With the onset of the recent pandemic, keeping every surface clean and microbe-free has become essential. This includes your furniture and wood panels. CenturyPly has been known for bringing innovative solutions to meet customers' changing demands. In this scenario too, it researched and developed a technology to keep the viruses at bay. 

While the company already had a technology that combatted bacteria and fungi, the Virokill technology came as the breakthrough in promising complete hygiene of furniture and surfaces. In this post, we will understand more about Virokill technology.

Understanding the Scientific Details of Virokill Technology

CenturyPly uses a specially designed “Nanoparticle-based Self Doctoring Surface Treatment,” which combats microorganisms through AAAA (A4) safety protection. These nanoparticles are antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial by nature. This is what gave the technology its name - Virokill. 

It utilises nanoparticles that are very small and measure less than 100 nanometres. However, their size gives them the power to precisely target and destroy the minuscule microorganisms. These nanoparticles are an integral part of the laminates and plywood. When these come in contact with microbes, these highly energised particles rupture and, in the process, kill the bacteria, viruses and fungi. Thus, this technology promises clean and hygienic surfaces. 

Certifications and Testing of Virokill Technology

Once the Virokill technology was developed and used to create plywood and laminates, these products were tested by BioTech Testing Services, one of the most famous testing laboratories in the country. Two tests were carried out according to the international standards. First was the Antimicrobial Efficacy Test, which included both Antibacterial and Antifungal Efficacy tests of specified microbes. The second was the Antiviral Efficacy Test of specified viruses. 

The test results certified that CenturyPly and CenturyLaminates are 99.99% effective in destroying the microbes that come in contact with them. The cell walls of the microbes are ruptured, and they are killed. Depending on the configuration, this process can start immediately or take a few hours.

Important Features of CenturyPly's Virokill Technology

CenturyPly's Virokill technology promises the safety and hygiene of surfaces by destroying microbes that come in contact with them. Thus, you won't have to worry about transmission of diseases. Let us look at the other important features of Virokill technology that make it so unique.

Thermostability 

The Virokill technology is thermostable. This means normal exposure to heat, sunlight, and moisture does not affect it. The non-leachable surface treatment does not change due to environmental conditions and keeps the anti-viral properties intact. 

Life-Long Protection

The nanoparticles used in Virokill technology are arranged in a polymer matrix system during manufacturing. This ensures that the energised particles stay active throughout the product's lifetime.

Easy to Clean

Irrespective of the technology used to manufacture plywood or laminate, you must clean and wipe it to keep it smudge and dust-free. You don't have to worry about damaging the technology while wiping or polishing the surfaces, provided you follow the company's guidelines. 

Safe for Interiors 

The Virokill technology has been crafted to ensure complete safety for you and your loved ones. What's more, the laminates and plywood are manufactured using non-toxic raw materials, which makes them a perfect choice for designing the interiors of your homes and offices. 

Environment Friendly 

When it comes to a new technology, its sustainability and its effect on the environment play a crucial role. Virokill technology has been created with these factors in mind. Since it takes a targeted approach to kill the microbes, it prevents the release of too many toxins from being released into the environment. Thus, it is a sustainable choice and one without any collateral damages. 

CenturyPly Plywood 

With its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, this plywood is perfect for use in homes, offices, shops, etc. This is categorised as MR-grade plywood and BWP-grade plywood. MR Grade is a water-resistant plywood that can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, office cubicles, etc. BWP-grade plywood is waterproof and can be used in designing furniture for kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, restaurants, etc. 

CenturyLaminates 

The CenturyLaminates were earlier designed using Silver Nanotechnology, which made them antimicrobial. Now, combined with Virokill, its efficacy has increased manifolds. These laminates can be used to design television units, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, bookshelves, bed frames, etc. 

Conclusion

CenturyPly's Virokill Technology has proved revolutionary in bringing safety and hygiene to the interiors of your homes and commercial spaces. Its unique scientific formula ensures that any microbe that comes in contact with the surfaces is immediately destroyed. So, the next time you need plywood or laminates, trust CenturyPly.
