Borosil has launched an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection product, namely Borosil Suraksha that claims to disinfect 99.9 % germs and other pathogens present on the surface of daily goods and groceries. The Mumbai based consumer products brand has indicated that the UV-C disinfection box, Suraksha (Hindi for security) helps in minimising the danger of communicable diseases from daily essentials, especially amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Users can disinfect objects like masks, wallets, smartphones, currency notes, medical equipment, watches, and groceries. Borosil claims that “small objects” are often sanitised in two minutes while “large objects” take up to eight minutes.
As per the brand, the unit disinfects 99.9percentage germs and other pathogens present on the surfaces with an in-built Ultraviolet — C light. The UV-C light produces electromagnetic energy and impacts the DNA of microorganisms like viruses which destroys their ability to breed and thus, makes them inactive.

In its announcement, Borosil further stated, “The leakage proof design keeps UV-C rays safely within the chamber. The unit shuts off automatically on opening, thus further reducing the probabilities of exposure to the physical body. Research has proven that exposure to UV-C light features a positive impact on fruits, vegetables, and other food products.”
