A study room is one of the most used rooms in a house. Students return from school, keep their bags and work on their homework. Working professionals use the study room to carry out their professional duties. In a room that is frequented by most occupants of the house, there is a constant fear of bacteria and viruses brought in from the outside world. In today’s day and age, when hygiene and good health are of utmost priority, a clean and safe study room is important for enhanced productivity.
ViroKill Technology, developed by CenturyPly, is an innovative solution that provides maximum protection.
The ViroKill Technology is a self-doctoring surface treatment that uses nanoparticles to destroy microorganisms that come in contact with the plywood or laminate surface. These nanoparticles are by nature antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Whenever a microbe comes in contact with the surface, the highly energised nanoparticles activate to physically rupture, thereby killing 99.99% of bacteria and ensuring the hygiene and safety of the surface.
In a study room, various forms of furniture, such as bookshelves and computer tables, come in regular contact with humans. If they are sick, have dirty hands, or the bacteria is left on the furniture's surface by other means, you do not have to worry about the virus spreading as the nanoparticles will start working as soon as they come in contact with the microbes.
The ViroKill Technology has various features that ensure the durability and longevity of the surface treatment.
Virokill technology is thermostable, meaning it can withstand varying temperatures without losing its antiviral properties. Normal exposure to humidity, moisture, or sunlight does not affect the effectiveness of Virokill. So you can keep your study tables in front of the window for fresh air and sunlight and not worry about the ViroKill Technology getting depleted.
Virokill is completely safe for human contact and does not leach chemicals into the air or the surface. Anyone from babies to old individuals can work on and use CenturyPly products enriched with ViroKill Technology with peace of mind, knowing that the advanced technology protects them from harmful pathogens.
Virokill technology provides long-lasting protection as the nanoparticles are embedded in the polymer matrix system of the furniture. As long as the surface remains chemically and physically undamaged, the effects of Virokill will not be depleted. That means that the study room furniture will continue to offer enhanced protection against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other harmful microorganisms throughout its lifetime.
If you want to polish or paint your furniture, be assured that Virokill technology remains unaffected by these external treatments. You can personalise your study room according to your taste without compromising the efficacy of the antiviral properties provided by Virokill.
CenturyPly Virokill products have undergone rigorous testing at Mumbai's renowned Biotech Testing Services (BTS) laboratory. The products were subjected to Antimicrobial Efficacy Tests, including antibacterial and antifungal efficacy, following the international standard JIS Z 2801:2010. Antiviral efficacy tests were also conducted according to the ISO 21702:2019 international standard.
The test results certify that CenturyLaminates and CenturyPly products exhibit an impressive 99.99% efficacy against viruses. When viruses come into contact with these surfaces, their cell walls are ruptured, effectively killing them. It was noted that Virokill technology instantly initiates the killing mechanism, and the complete elimination duration varies depending on the local configuration.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also approved the nanoparticle used in the Virokill Technology, and it is also certified by the Government of India through the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
The Virokill Technology is available in CenturyPly Plywood and CenturyLaminates. In study rooms, you can create desks, shelves and cabinets with CenturyPly plywood , giving them antiviral and antimicrobial properties. The ViroKill Technology will act as a protective shield against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, ensuring a clean and healthy study environment.
You can also renovate the surface of your pre-existing interiors using CenturyLaminates to combine the latest aesthetic with functional technology. You can laminate the study desks, storage cabinets, bookshelves and more in a theme that complements your decor to create peaceful and pleasant interiors that increase your productivity and lift your mood.
ViroKill Technology was developed after observing citizens' increasing fear of viruses during the pandemic. When the entire research and development team of CenturyPly was put to work, they invented this revolutionary technology that is certified to kill bacteria and viruses, offering antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties to your study room interiors. For complete protection of your family from harmful pathogens, choose CenturyPly and CenturyLaminates with ViroKill Technology.
