Let’s be honest with ourselves for a second here - ever since the pandemic hit us, every one of us has become a germophobe to an extent. From rubbing sanitiser on our hands to wearing masks, these habits haven’t really left us even years later, which is why we tend to keep our houses cleaner than normal. But what if we told you that viruses would perish the moment they enter your house?
For everyone who wants to have that extra assurance of a germ-free life, CenturyPly’s ViroKill technology is the way to go. But what is it? How does it work? Is it safe? These are the questions that must be popping into your head, and in this article, we’re going to answer all of them.
When highly energetic and activated nanoparticles from ViroKill technology come into contact with the plywood surface, they immediately break and harm the microbial body. ViroKill technology is used to make CenturyPly plywood.
Self-Doctoring Surface Therapy, or SDST, is connected to A-4 (AAAA) safety approaches of the nanoparticles used in the technological operations against the pathogen. 99.99% of the viruses that come into contact with the ViroKill-treated surface are thought to be eliminated by the ViroKill technology. The product is entirely toxin-free because the CenturyPly team of ViroKill technicians uses no hazardous raw materials or components in its production.
ViroKill is an essential technology for smart and healthy interiors. There are many pathogens we come in contact with that we don’t even see. With our furniture having ViroKill, you wouldn’t have to worry much. There are many reasons why ViroKill is essential for healthy interiors. They are:
A safe home is kept tidy. CenturyPly took care to create a technology that is not depleted by frequent surface cleaning and disinfection. CenturyPly's ViroKill technology ensures that the surface treatment does not fade off, promising to add an additional layer of protection.
Technically, ViroKill Technology is a thermostable surface treatment. Due to its thermostable nature, it naturally maintains its antibacterial killing properties even in the presence of heat, sunlight, high humidity, and wetness.
You will have lifetime protection and safety from bacteria, fungi, and diseases thanks to the technology that is integrated into CenturyPly goods. Unless it is physically or chemically destroyed, this technology's antiviral qualities will protect and preserve your furniture's hygienic conditions and healthy atmosphere for a lifetime.
These days, it is difficult to obtain cutting-edge technology that is environmentally friendly. This is the unique feature of ViroKill technology. In order to maintain the quality performance, CenturyPly underwent testing at Biotech Testing Services in Mumbai, which attests to its passing the antimicrobial efficacy test carried out in accordance with JIS Z 2801:2010 requirements. According to ISO 21702:2019, CenturyPly's ViroKill technology is also an antiviral efficacy test. Even though this technology is so specialised, it doesn't release any dangerous substances into the environment.
Here at CenturyPly, we have incorporated ViroKill into a lot of our products. The table below explains it a lot better:
| Product Category | Example Products | ViroKill Benefits | Other Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| CenturyPly Plywood | Architect Ply, Club Prime, Classic Marine | - Germ-free protection against bacteria & viruses - Prevents infections and surface contamination | - Borer & termite proof - High durability - Ideal for home interiors & modular furniture |
| CenturyLaminates | All ranges of decorative laminates | - Self-sanitizing surface kills 99.99% of microbes - Safe for high-touch areas (kitchen, tabletops) | - Stylish finish - Wide design variety - Easy to clean and maintain |
| CenturyVeneers | SenzuraWoods | - Provides continuous protection from disease-causing pathogens - Keeps natural wood surfaces hygienic | - Natural wood texture - Premium finish - Suitable for wardrobes, wall panels, etc. |
Homes are some of our most vulnerable spaces since we spend most of our time here. If the furniture here is embedded with ViroKill, then a lot of pathogens can be fought against. Applications like kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, countertops, and other modular furniture are some of the many examples.
Outside of home, these are the places where we spend most of our time. Incorporating ViroKill-infused furniture here is even more important - benches in classrooms and offices, tables and chairs in hotels and office cubicles, etc., are some examples to name a few.
The most crucial application of ViroKill furniture is in high-traffic areas, which are more vulnerable to germs. For example, hospitals where pathogens are quite abundant and commercial kitchens, where bacterial transmission is prominent. Such spaces would really benefit from ViroKill.
ViroKill is far different from other materials. The table below explains why ViroKill might just be the future of design.
| Feature | Traditional Materials | ViroKill-Enabled Materials (CenturyPly) |
|---|---|---|
| Germ Protection | Passive surfaces: germs can survive and multiply | Actively kills 99.99% of viruses & bacteria on contact |
| Maintenance Needs | Requires frequent cleaning & sanitising | Self-sanitising reduces the need for constant cleaning |
| Durability of Protection | Antimicrobial sprays/coatings wear off with time | ViroKill is embedded into the material-a permanent action |
| Surface Safety | May contain harmful chemicals or coatings | Certified by MoHFW (India) & EPA (USA); non-toxic |
| Health Risk | High-touch surfaces may spread infections | Continuously protects from infections & cross-contamination |
| Eco-friendliness | Can involve VOCs or chemical treatments | Non-leaching, safe for the environment & indoor air quality |
| Use Case Suitability | Not ideal for homes with kids, the elderly, clinics, etc. | Ideal for homes, hospitals, schools, and public spaces |
CenturyPly developed ViroKill technology as a remedy. It eliminates microorganisms that are found on the surfaces of the furnishings in your house and surroundings. An innovative solution to the issue of surface hygiene is the use of nanoparticles to break down the outer membranes of bacteria and viruses. As the need for more hygienic products increases, it is expected that more manufacturers will follow CenturyPly's example and integrate similar technology into their products. The plywood industry will undergo a revolution thanks to the revolutionary ViroKill technology.
