In our daily life, electrical switches are one of the most used surfaces – thus, these surfaces may become a virus transmission carrier unintentionally. During the ongoing pandemic, consumers have become extra cautious about their health and hygiene while using any physical product which requires touch. Havells India Limited, has launched India’s first anti-viral and anti-bacterial switches with ViruzSafe^TM technology under the Crabtree brand for its electrical wiring devices portfolio.

Crabtree unique ViruzSafe^TMTechnology has been tested for both Viruses & Bacteria which, within 1 minute of virus exposure on the exposed surface area of Switch knobs, Sockets, Front Plates etc. ensures 92.5 %* anti-viral efficacy and within 2 hours ensures 99.89 %* anti-viral efficacy. Along with this, it also ensures anti-bacterial efficacy of 99%* within 24 hours. Anti-Viral & Anti-Bacterial efficacies have been tested using International standards – ISO 21702 & JIS 2801 respectively. These features are introduced in Crabtree’s legendary Athena White and Signia White ranges . These ranges are innovated with ViruzSafe^TM technology (patent applied) for the above claim.
