The coronavirus crisis has brought quartz glass into focus because UV light is used to disinfect surfaces against the COVID-19 virus — and quartz glass is a key component in this process.
While some markets have slowed down due to the coronavirus crisis, Mirit Glas has experienced a rise in the processing and sale of quartz glass.
Quartz glass is the ideal material for UV disinfection, as its excellent light transmission ensures that UV light can spread across the full spectrum.
“We have extensive experience in processing and supplying exactly the right quartz glass components, tailored to their specific application. We can supply quartz glass tubes as well as virtually all other types of quartz glass for professional solutions,” says Sales Manager Johan Stenfeldt Hansen.
In the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, several American studies demonstrated that ultraviolet light can destroy the protein shell of the COVID-19 virus.
This has led to an increased focus on designing solutions that use UV light to disinfect surfaces against the COVID-19 virus.
Mirit Glas has the expertise to supply the glass required for these solutions and is therefore a supplier to several Nordic projects involving UV equipment.
The coronavirus crisis has not only heightened the focus on quartz glass. Mirit Glas has also initiated the production of elegant hygiene screens that can protect, for example, receptionists and others who meet many people in the course of their work, from the COVID-19 virus (as well as other illnesses such as influenza).
Mirit Glas provides expert advice on quartz glass and can manufacture quartz glass — including quartz glass tubes — that fit virtually any UV solution.
