7980 for Germicidal Irradiation Devices
UVC (200 – 280nm) light has long been recognized as an effective method for deactivating pathogens on surfaces, in the air or in liquids.The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency of implementing solutions to minimize the spread of harmful pathogens. Many new devices are now being commercialized which utilize UVC germicidal irradiation and many of these require components which transmit UVC wavelengths efficiently. High Purity Fused Silica 7980 is available in large sized format which is ideal for transmitting energy from sources such as mercury vapor lamps (λ~254),LEDs (λ~265-280), or Excimer Lamps (λ~222nm).
