How UV light can reveal contamination

UV Blacklights for Hygiene Control

Selection of UV-A blacklight equipment should be optimised for a particular application and depends on the following requirements:

  • UV light irradiation area
  • UV light intensity
  • Process integration
  • Ambient light levels

The case for UV

Appearances are important, but cleanliness must go much further than what can be seen with the naked eye. UV will reveal contamination invisible under normal lighting, dramatically demonstrating and areas that have been missed on apparently clean surfaces.

UV blacklight fluorescent inspection lamps are used for revealing the presence of contamination and soiling which is invisible to the naked eye.
