What is ViroKill Technology

ViroKill, as the name suggests, is a game-changing innovation designed to effectively combat a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and fungi. The ViroKill technology uses specially engineered, highly energised nanoparticles that have antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties of their own. The ViroKill Technology is embedded in the products as a surface treatment of the CenturyPly Plywood and Century Laminates at the time of manufacturing to give these products long-lasting protection against harmful pathogens.

How Does the ViroKill Technology Work?

The magic of ViroKill lies in its highly activated nanoparticles. Upon contact with microorganisms, these nanoparticles physically rupture and dismantle the pathogens' cell walls, destroying the microbes completely. This contact-killing mechanism ensures that any harmful microbes that come into contact with ViroKill-treated surfaces are neutralised instantly, maintaining a hygienic and safe environment.

How Long Does the ViroKill Technology Last?

The nanoparticles are embedded within the polymer matrix system of CenturyPly's products, ensuring that the protection remains intact throughout the furniture's lifetime. As long as the surface is not chemically or physically damaged, the effects of ViroKill continue to shield against pathogens. This exceptional durability makes ViroKill a reliable choice for homes, offices, healthcare facilities, and any shared space where protecting health is of utmost importance.

How Can You Make Your Space Safer?

If you have been planning to spice up your interiors and renovate your home, apply CenturyPly Plywood, CenturyLaminates and CenturyVeneers on all high-touch surfaces to protect them. When we say high-touch areas, we mean kitchen furniture, bathroom furniture, counters, side tables, dining tables, and so on. With the wide range of designs and patterns available, you can easily make your dream interiors come to life with CenturyPly. When the high-touch areas stay protected, you can ensure the bacteria and virus do not spread to the rest of the house.

Can the ViroKill Technology Deplete Upon Use?

The ViroKill Technology is thermostable. This means if the surface is exposed to regular sunlight, humidity or moisture, it will not affect the antiviral properties of the products. The treatment is also non-leachable, which means it does not leach chemicals into the environment around the furniture, ensuring humans - both old and young are safe.

However, it should be noted that structural damage to the product may lead to the depletion of the technology. But the ViroKill Technology is safe from regular cleaning, wiping, painting or polishing, which are important to maintain the longevity of the surface.

Has the ViroKill Technology been Tested?

ViroKill Technology has been tested to ensure that the claims are true and functional. CenturyPly ViroKill products were tested at Biotech Testing Services in Mumbai. The Antiviral Efficacy and Antimicrobial Tests were carried out according to international standards. The tests showed that the products have 99.99% efficacy against viruses.

The tests also detailed that the killing mechanism starts instantly on any pathogen and, depending on its local configuration, would be complete within a few minutes to a few hours. The product has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certified by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India.
