The UV-FORCE™ is a patented UV lamp technology that utilizes the Far-UV light spectrum to disinfect surfaces and airstreams.  UV-FORCE™ is a dry, chemical-free disinfection method and is 10 to 1000 times more effective than other UV technologies. The UV light spectrum has multiple bands, each with different features similar to the visible spectrum. UV bands A, B and C have a different effect on the human skin and eyes. Far-UV is the blue band in the UV spectrum. It has a shorter wavelength than UV bands A, B and C which makes it safer for human exposure -- but more effective against pathogens. ![UVC band width range](https://www.hepacart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/UVC%20band%20width%20range.png?width=550&name=UVC%20band%20width%20range.png)   Unlike other UV technologies, UV-FORCE™ destroys the pathogen cell walls resulting in the physical destruction of the pathogen.  **The chemical bonds that hold together molds, fungi, viruses **and** bacteria are no match for UV-FORCE™ and thus destroyed seconds (sometimes less than a second).**   ![pathogen destroyed](https://www.hepacart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pathogen%20destroyed.png?width=360&name=pathogen%20destroyed.png) Because of the wavelength in use, the cells are physically destroyed and cannot remain infectious. This is in contrast to traditional UV-C which chemically changes the bond so it does not replicate but does not destroy the pathogen. UV-FORCE™ is effective not only on hospital surfaces, but also liquids and airstreams and safe to use in any environment. **UV-FORCE™ disinfection achieves 99.99% pathogen kill on surfaces in less than 4 seconds, which is 10 to 1000 times faster than existing UV treatments.** When surfaces are exposed to the UV-FORCE™, 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed in less than 1 second. In 4 seconds, the surface is 99.99% disinfected, making the UV-FORCE™ technology more effective and more efficient than any other UV technology in the market. **The efficacy of the UV-FORCE™ lamps is not affected by the Temperature or Humidity and contains no mercury or other hazardous chemicals.  ** ![HP_Product_ex_2.jpg](https://www.hepacart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hepacart-2016/Image/Far-UV-Sterilray-IMG_V2.jpg?width=303&height=411&name=Far-UV-Sterilray-IMG_V2.jpg) ## UV-FORCE™ is an Investment in Safety Nearly 100,000 people die each year from preventable hospital acquired infection (HAIs). Keeping healthcare environments safe and free from the pathogens that cause these types of infections is therefore a matter of life and death. But hospitals are not the only places that can benefit from UV-FORCE™ technology. Each year, food manufacturing and distribution facilities are forced to recall products that have not been thoroughly disinfected, with these recalls costing millions of dollars. The UV-FORCE™ is a simple, fast, and safe way to disinfect surfaces, liquids, and airstreams. Killing 99.99% of dangerous pathogens can result in huge cost savings, and can literally save lives. **No other disinfection method can achieve these kinds of results in the mere seconds it takes for UV-FORCE™ to work. ** ![HEP inside](https://www.hepacart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hepacart-2016/Image/HEP-inside-alt.jpg?width=1922&name=HEP-inside-alt.jpg "HEP inside") Which Product is Right for You?
