What is Dimer’s UV Disinfection Project?
Dimer creates cutting edge green mobile UVC hardware replacing harmful chemicals to enhance global public health. The project is all about redefining how germicidal UVC is applied – with highly efficient, effective, sustainable and safe disinfection of any space. Dimer is an innovator in germicidal UV light surface disinfection technologies designed for healthcare, transportation, shared spaces, and even spacecraft. The technology is non-toxic, uses no chemicals, and is sustainable, offering a revolutionary alternative to traditional cleaning methods. Imagine a solution that eliminates pathogens with precision, addressing UVC limitations of distance, angle of incidence and shadows… this is exactly what Dimer delivers with its patented approach.
Main Benefits of Dimer’s UV Surface Disinfection
- Capable of killing 99.99+% of pathogens on all high touch surfaces – in any environment
- Disinfects upwards of 12,000 sqft per hour with zero operational downtime
- Designed by an active physician, ensuring clinical and practical expertise
- Operator-driven with an adjustable UV wing for both horizontal and vertical surfaces
- Patented control and safety features including an Impervious Shield ensuring zero operator exposure
Innovative Partnerships and Prestigious Awards
The project found an exceptional boost when Dimer entered into an exclusive strategic partnership with Honeywell on May 31st, 2020. This alliance brought the world a groundbreaking UV light disinfection solution specifically designed for airplanes. On November 19th, TIME highlighted the innovation by naming Dimer’s GermFalcon – now rebranded as Honeywell’s UV Treatment System – as one of the Best Inventions of 2020 in the Transportation category. The disruptive technology is proven, having received awards from NASA, BBC, and Time Magazine. With extensive microbiological studies backing the technology and being co-founded by a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Dimer shattered industry norms and elevated the standard for UVC disinfection methods.
Patented Mobile Design and Technological Superiority
At the heart of the project is the UVHammer, the only mobile UV light solution with an adjustable UV wing that reaches inches from any surface, at any angle. This patented mobile design offers unprecedented agility by actively disinfecting the floor and wheels of the unit, ensuring comprehensive and rapid treatment of surfaces. The design has overcome previous challenges associated with UVC application, such as distance limitations and shadows, by delivering concentrated doses of ultraviolet light that inactivate all known disease-causing pathogens – even in hard-to-reach areas. This innovative approach makes the UVHammer not only effective but also dynamically adaptable to various settings.
Real-World Applications and Efficacy in Various Sectors
The technology’s versatility shines across multiple industries. In healthcare, it outperforms traditional environmentally dangerous chemicals in eliminating Operating Room pathogens, reducing disinfection times by up to 80%. In transportation, its exclusive partnership with Honeywell has paved the way to disinfect entire airplane cabins in under 10 minutes. Additionally, Dimer’s solutions are ideal for shared spaces like academic institutions, athletics arenas, and commercial establishments where efficient disinfection is a must. With 14 unique patents and validations from a third-party Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), this project confirms its superiority on both efficacy and safety fronts.
Customer-Centric Safety and Operational Precision
The UVHammer not only promises impressive disinfection performance but also centers on safety and ease-of-use. It is operator-driven, ensuring that only trained personnel handle the device with minimal training required—less than 4 hours. The system incorporates redundant safety measures and real-time operator feedback, making it reliable and consistent in delivering accurate germicidal dosages. Its design emphasizes safety for both the operator and patrons, featuring an Impervious Shield and onboard safety controls that provide peace-of-mind during operation. This focus on safety and precision resonates deeply across all sectors that require stringent disinfection protocols.
