PurePurge™ DEFINED
PurePurge™ Inc. is a manufacturer and global distributor of cutting-edge photo-dynamic, disinfection products.
From it's Southern California laboratories, PurePurge™ has developed a patent-pending method of taking one of the most photo-sensitizing substances available and rendering it transiently water soluble, resulting in an organic, photo-sensitive dye that can be deposited into or onto the surface of a vast range of substrates, fabrics and materials.
In the presence of LIGHT, this proprietary organic dye - PurePurge™ - acts as catalyst to generate highly reactive singlet oxygen molecules, which attack and destroy any microbes present on the material or substrate.
PurePurge™ PROCESS
While certain photo-sensitive dyes have long been known for their exceptional stability, their insolubility in water has posed a major limitation in the application of this class of dyes into useful antimicrobial products.
PurePurge™ has developed a technique of taking normal insoluble organic dyes, and rendering them temporarily water soluble, allowing PurePurge™ to be fully integrated into manufacturing materials.
Integrating PurePurge™ into an existing manufacturing process ensures that PurePurge™ is bound into or onto the surface of the material at the molecular level in a commercially viable manner.
This novel integration into manufactured materials results in PurePurge™ being able to generate a continuous and durable supply of singlet oxygen whenever light is present.
singlet oxygen cycles
PurePurge™ Inc. has perfected its' process to commercially manufacture large quantities of singlet oxygen and successfully blend it with a variety of modern and traditional anti-microbials into its' proprietary photo-sensitizing organic dye, PurePurge™
ACTIVATION
The organic dye that is incorporated into PurePurge™ is activated by all forms of light, including both artificial and natural sunlight. When the photo-sensitizing ingredients in PurePurge™ are exposed to light, these molecules become excited into a higher energy state.
PRODUCTION
Part of the energy produced from the photo-sensitive dye is then absorbed by naturally present oxygen molecules around it, transforming these "ground-state" molecules, into highly reactive,"excited-state" singlet oxygen molecules. As long as the PurePurge™ photo-dynamic dye is in the presence of light, it will continue to produce singlet oxygen molecules.
TERMINATION
Singlet oxygen is a safe, yet highly reactive, oxygen species and will react with any nearby biomolecules. Singlet oxygen has long been known to be non-selective in its reactions with bacteria, viruses and other microbes, rendering them 100% neutralized upon contact.
DID YOU KNOW?
Singlet oxygen has no specific target within a microbe - it is completely non-selective.
PurePurge™ oxidizes the entire cell instead of poisoning or puncturing a specific site.
There is no known resistance to singlet oxygen which has been clinically proven to kill:
- Gram Positive Bacteria
- Gram Negative Bacteria
- Enveloped Viruses
- Non-Enveloped Viruses
- Fungi
- Mold
- Spores
