Aluminox introduces a product range for virus (COVID-19) and bacterial protection

Nowadays, companies around the world are trying to protect themselves and adapt to the new reality of COVID-19. Keeping our employees, partners and customers safe during #coronavirus is one of the top priorities.

Business continuity is also in many cases of great importance and that is why at ALUMINOX we have recently introduced a product range for virus and bacterial protection based on UVC technology.

This technology is used for many years in areas with high requirements of disinfection and sterilization, 99,99% such as hospitals and operating theaters.

In Aluminox we can offer a wide range of applications depending on the requirements of the customer. One idea would be that the UVC system is installed on the central HVAC system, sterilizing the air throughout the ship (including fresh air each time), preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria in the space.
