Panasonic has surpassed many electronic brands nominated for this category to win the award thanks to its unique and advanced antibacterial technologies applied in the Company’s modern refrigerators.
NanoeX – the active antibacterial technology applied for six door premium fridge – Suppressing 99.99% bacteria, mole, reducing pesticide by 2.8 times (after washing), and preventing odor
In 2018, Panasonic adapted the antibacterial and odor purification Nanoe-X technology from air conditioners to high-end refrigerators. Nanoe-X are nano-sized ion particles generated from moisture in the air with 4.8 trillion (-OH) radicals. These ion particles spread through the air inside refrigerator, reliably reach bacteria and viruses, allowing (-OH) radicals to transform virus proteins to deactivate and inhibit the growth of bacteria and virus in the air.
Especially, Nanoe-X is able to weaken bonds in pesticide on the surface of fruits and vegetables, allowing pesticides to be washed away easily with water, eliminating odors and 99.99% of mold, bacteria. Therefore, it is safe and hygienic for fridge users.
Blue Ag+ - for two and three door fridge - eliminate 99.99% of bacteria thanks to UV-A light and Ag+ ions
The Panasonic’s Made in Japan six door fridge reduces pesticide by 2.8 times and suppresses 99.99% of bacteria thanks to the exclusive antibacterial technology, namely Nanoe-X
Blue Ag+ generates a strong bacteria killer, OH radicals, through a reaction between silver Ag ions and UV-A light. The OH radicals work with hydrogen molecule of the bacteria to transform OH radicals into water and eliminate the bacteria.
The Blue Ag+ technology is utilized in the -3 Celsius degree soft freezing case, which makes this feature outstanding and unique for Panasonic’s fridges (PrimeFresh Blue Ag+ right soft freezing at -3 Celsius degree). PrimeFresh Blue Ag+ eliminates 99.99% bacteria, enabling food to be fresh for 7 days and can cook without defrosting . Another application of Blue Ag+ is found in the cold wash hygiene for bacteria elimination only in Panasonic washing machines.
