Godrej unveils nano disinfection technology in refrigerators

New Delhi: Amid increase consciousness of consumers around germ protection, Appliance brand Godrej group has introduced advanced 'nano disinfection technology' to its range of frost-free refrigerators, for which the company has also filed a patent.

As per the announcement made by the Godrej Group on Tuesday, the technology uses a special anti-germ nano coating in the air flow duct of the refrigerator. The air passing through this duct gets disinfected and as it circulates, it controls microbial activity in the enclosed refrigerator compartment, further disinfecting food surfaces in the refrigerator.

The company also claims that the said technology has been tested to deliver 100 per cent surface sterilization at the duct and an average of 95 per cent over food surface disinfection against germs.

Kamal Nandi, Business Head and Executive Vice President – Godrej Appliances, said, "Since the last year, we have introduced multiple products with cutting edge technologies for germ protection. Encouraged by the response on these offerings and our continuous consumer interactions which reveal a clear need for food disinfection inside refrigerators, we launched the nano disinfection technology in our refrigerators. With this technology, we aim to strengthen our market position and increase our health-oriented solutions to 30 per cent of our overall portfolio by next year."
