Superior Strength: 12mm century 710 bond plywood
Nanoparticles are e ective throughout the lifetime of the furniture as
they are embedded in the polymer matrix system. Unless and until the
surface is not chemically and physically damaged, the e ects of ViroKill
won’t be depleted.
While, a) The test certi es killing of 99.99% virus b) It is about virus
which is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA Virus close to COVID-19
Virus as a category and c) There are many published scienti c papers
and reports available which support that the speci c nanoparticle
being used in manufacturing is strongly e ective against many viruses,
however, there is no test speci cally available, as of now, for materials to
be tested for COVID-19. Hence,
CenturyLaminates & CenturyPly is not in a position to claim that it can
be used as a form of any protection against COVID-19.
What products of
CenturyPly &
CenturyLaminates
will be using this
technology?
Is Virokill certified by any
independent agency ?
What is ViroKill and how
does it work?
Does ViroKill work against
COVID-19?
CenturyVeneers will be using this in:
Is the treatment done on the surface
or throughout the product construct?
It is a surface treatment of the products
Is ViroKill thermostable? What is the effect of moisture
or direct sunlight on it?
Yes, it is thermostable. This surface treatment is
non-leachable and normal exposure to humidity, moisture or sunlight
does not a ect the antiviral properties. However, any structural damage
of the surface by chemical or physical treatment may a ect the ViroKill
properties
Does it cover anti-bacterial and
anti-fungal properties?
Yes, ViroKill has additional anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Is it safe for any interior
usage?
Yes, ViroKill is completely safe for interior usage
CenturyPly ViroKill products were duly tested at one of the most
renowned testing laboratories, the Biotech Testing
Services (BTS) located in Mumbai. As per the standards, the
following tests were carried out:
(1) Antimicrobial E cacy Test (both Antibacterial E cacy and Antifungal
E cacy of speci ed microbes) has been done as per JIS Z 2801:2010
international standard.
(2) Antiviral E cacy Test of speci ed virus has been done as per ISO
21702:2019 international standard.
The following testing standards were followed to carry out the tests:
The Test Results (attached) certify that CenturyLaminates and CenturyPly
products have 99.99 % e cacy against virus. Virus coming in contact
with CenturyLaminates and Century Plywood surfaces would have their
cell walls
ruptured and get killed.
The process of killing mechanism starts instantly and it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to
complete it, depending on the local con guration. However, it will not
kill any viruses in the surroundings of the furniture. Also, mishandling of
the product, like exposure to excessive sunlight, excessive temperature,
humidity, moisture may a ect the e ciency of the performance.
The speci c type of nanoparticle which is used by
CenturyPly in their products is in the approved list of
materials against viruses of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This speci c nanoparticle is also certi ed against virus protection by the
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, through the
Department of Science and Technology (DST).
