LG adds UV technology in their products


LG DUALCOOL air conditioner that uses a multi-step filtration process with UVnano

LG is ramping up their products by introducing UVnano. As the name implies, it uses ultraviolet light to get rid of microorganisms.

The UVnano is what LG claims is a breakthrough that represents the future of personal care. According to LG, this sanitization technology works to eliminate 99.99% germs in just a few minutes using ultraviolet light.

You might assume the UVnano is the product itself, but actually, it's a technology used to apply in a product. For instance, LG's FN7 Tone Free wireless earbuds has a UVnano charging case. According to LG, their studies show that earphones for example, have 2,700x more bacteria than a kitchen cutting board. Utilizing built-in ultraviolet light, LG’s slim charging case keeps listeners’ ears cleaner by eliminating 99.9% of bacteria from the non-toxic, hypoallergenic silicone ear gel and inner mesh. The compact charging case provides up to an hour of listening time after only a five-minute charge.

The LG Puricare Mask, which went through the social media rounds last year, also utilizes UVnano technology in its accompanying charging case. This case is designed to clean and protect the wearable air purifier while charging. It uses UV light to eliminate 99.99% of germs in just 30 minutes and remove bacteria from filters up to 99% using dry mode (4 hrs.). It is a smart, hygienic way to store your wearable air purifier.

For clean air on a larger scale, LG offers UVnano technology in its new air-conditioners as well. After all, with all your precautions, if the air from your air-conditioner is dirty, then the point is moot. LG’s DUALCOOL technology uses a multi-step filtration process with UVnano to reduce allergens and harmful bacteria, ensuring the air you breathe is completely clean. Both innovations work together, keeping your fan 99.99% bacteria free with ultraviolet light.

While not available locally, the newest model from LG’s popular InstaView line of refrigerators also utilize UVnano technology in promoting cleanliness and healthy living at home. Consuming more water is proven to build up one’s immune system, as water helps carry oxygen to body cells while removing toxins that could build up and cause health problems in the long run. Cleaning with ultraviolet light is also a feature in LG’s latest InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerators coming to market in 2021. Powerful UV-C light eliminates germs from the refrigerator’s water dispenser to give users added reason to drink more water and build up a stronger immune system to fight off infections. For additional assurance, users can also activate the UVnano feature with the press of a button. We’ll put this on our wish list, for now.
