Put Germicidal Light Exactly Where You Need It
OptoStrand fibers deliver UV-C disinfection directly on contact — wherever contamination happens. Integrate them into any surface, in any configuration, and protect what matters.
The OptoStrand Fiber
OptoStrand is a flexible fiber that glows with UV-C light along its entire length — like a glowstick for disinfection. Connect it to a light source, and it delivers germ-killing UV-C directly to whatever surface it touches.
The fibers are thin and flexible enough to go where UV lamps can’t reach. Arrange them in rows, grids, or any pattern you need. Add more fibers to cover more area — it’s that simple.
Connect
Use our UV-C light source or bring your own — OptoStrand fibers are compatible with UV-C LEDs. One light source, one fiber, instant UV-C.
Arrange
Integrate fibers into surfaces, lay them side by side, or weave them into grids. Use as many fibers as you need to cover the area your application requires.
Protect
Continuous UV-C on surfaces helps prevent biological buildup in pipes, channels, tanks, equipment, and anywhere contamination is a problem.
Potential Applications
OptoStrand fibers could change how entire industries handle contamination. These are some of the areas we are exploring.
Marine Antifouling
Fibers could protect underwater sensors, intake pipes, and submerged equipment from biological growth — without toxic coatings.
Water Systems
Arrays of fibers inside pipes and tanks could provide continuous UV-C treatment throughout a water distribution system.
Food and Beverage
Fibers integrated into processing surfaces could help keep production lines clean in hard-to-reach areas.
Medical Devices
Thin, flexible fibers could be threaded through instruments and equipment to deliver UV-C to complex internal surfaces.
Your Application
Have an idea? We are always looking for partners and customers who want to explore what UV-C side-emitting fibers can do. Tell us yours.
A Better Way to Disinfect
Traditional UV disinfection means pointing lamps at a surface from a distance and hoping for coverage. OptoStrand fibers go where lamps can’t — they become part of the surface itself. Put them exactly where contamination happens, in whatever configuration you need.
We are working directly with early customers to bring OptoStrand to new industries. If you see a fit, we want to talk.
