_Hydroxyl Generating Deodorization

Hydroxyl Generating Deodorization is a revolutionary ultraviolet technology that safely eliminates bacteria, mildew, mold, noxious gases and odors from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). InStar uses this method in indoor environments for odor processing, air-decontamination and air-purification. Ultraviolet wavelengths combine with ambient air humidity to generate “superior hydroxyls”; the same way ultraviolet rays from the sun come in contact with humidity to clean our atmosphere.

This effective cleaning method avoids the drawbacks of other air purification methods, to create clean, healthy surroundings after damage or a disaster. Hydroxyl Generating Deodorization is extremely effective in battling Sick Building Syndrome and other environmental threats that can be found indoors.
