Seoul Viosys Leads Adoption of COVID-19 Sterilization Technology in the US and China

China's Largest Air Conditioner Manufacturer Applies Biorez in Factories
Top US Air Purification System Company Also Introduces Biorez in HVAC Units
Two of Global Top 5 Confirmed... Establishing as Essential Technology

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Seoul Viosys, which was listed on the KOSDAQ market in March, is increasing its value based on the world’s first UV LED sterilization technology developed jointly with the US company SETi. As it is known to sterilize the novel coronavirus by 99.9% within 30 seconds, the number of global home appliance companies adopting the Biorez technology is increasing.

At 1:05 PM on the 17th, Seoul Viosys was trading at 19,100 KRW, up 18.63% from the previous day.

Earlier, Seoul Viosys was listed on the KOSDAQ market on March 6 with a public offering price of 7,500 KRW. In early April, after a sterilization experiment was conducted by a research team at Korea University, it became known that the Biorez technology sterilizes the novel coronavirus by 99.9% within 30 seconds, causing the stock price to soar. It traded around 8,000 KRW at the end of March but surged to as high as 22,650 KRW during trading on the 29th of last month.

The expectation of improved performance grew as the number of overseas home appliance companies applying Biorez technology increased. RGF, the number one supplier of air purification systems in the US, decided to apply Biorez technology to heating and cooling systems. A Seoul Viosys official said, "We have agreed to supply to two of the world’s top five companies," adding, "Biorez technology is becoming essential for air purifiers and air conditioners to create clean indoor air."

China’s largest air conditioner manufacturer, Gree, also integrated Biorez technology into its Fresh Air product. The Biorez installed inside the Gree Fresh Air conditioner sterilizes various viruses and bacteria in the indoor air that flows into the evaporator surface and inside the device. Air conditioners applying Biorez have proven their performance through experiments by the Chinese Academy of Microbiology, achieving 99.1% sterilization of viruses and bacteria, 98% sterilization of ‘EV71’ and ‘H1N1’?types of enteroviruses, and 99% sterilization of Staphylococcus aureus.

Biorez technology, an optoelectronic semiconductor, is a new concept sterilization technology developed by Seoul Viosys in collaboration with the US company SETi since 2005. It is Seoul Viosys’s technology brand holding over 4,000 patents that prevent bacterial generation and proliferation using only light without harmful chemicals. More than 1,000 application patents have also been secured. Having succeeded in extending its lifespan (50,000 hours), it is supplied for air, water, and surface sterilization in air conditioners, air purifiers, water purifiers, and various multi-sterilizers.
