WHAT IS IT

VL-PCO is a photocatalytic oxidative technology that employs visible light to activate the catalyst which in turn eliminates the bioburden. Photocatalytic oxidative technology that is active by UVC was developed by the NASA 20 years back to protect their space station against VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). We have finetuned the catalyst to be activated at 410nm and enhanced the kill rate to get an effective sterilization with a contact time of 0.16 seconds.

HOW DOES IT WORK

01

Light Activation

Light Activation

Safe visible light LEDs (400–410 nm) activate TiO₂ catalyst.

02

Catalyst Reaction

Catalyst Reaction

Surface generates reactive oxygen species (ROS)-Hydroxyl radical (OH.) and Singlet Oxygen (O2.)

03

03

Instant Neutralization

Instant Neutralization

Pathogens destroyed at the cellular level; VOCs oxidized to harmless CO₂ and H₂O.
