KENT RO introduces first of its kind air purifier with UV disinfection
Mounting the deteriorating air quality concern is now the need for additional measures such as UV-C light disinfection, to help prevent airborne transmission. Scientific researches, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), indicate that the primary method of COVID-19 and influenza transmission is through airborne means.

Hence, we have expanded our portfolio with more innovative and tech driven products understanding the current situation and air quality concern, we have come out with a solution that will let you breathe Pure Air and disinfect your home and workplace.”
