Ozone Ultrafine Bubble Water (OUFBW) represents a powerful evolution in modern disinfection. By combining ozone’s natural oxidising strength with ultrafine bubble generation, OUFBW delivers deeper penetration, longer ozone stability, and superior microbial control. This technology is proving to be a game-changer in industries where hygiene and safety are non-negotiable — from healthcare to food processing and water purification.
What Makes Ultrafine Bubbles So Effective?
Ultrafine bubbles are microscopic gas bubbles less than 200 nanometres in size. Unlike conventional bubbles, they stay suspended in water for long periods, continuously releasing ozone molecules. This prolonged contact time ensures stronger and more consistent oxidation — effectively neutralising bacteria, viruses, and organic pollutants.
Fighting Periodontal Pathogens with OUFBW
In medical research, OUFBW has demonstrated impressive results against Porphyromonas gingivalis — a major Gram-negative bacterium linked to periodontitis. This pathogen produces destructive virulence factors such as gingipains, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and lipoproteins that damage tissue and trigger inflammation.
OUFBW works on multiple levels:
- Destroys bacterial membranes: It disrupts the inner membrane of P. gingivalis, leading to bacterial elimination.
- Reduces toxins: It inactivates gingipains and lipoproteins, neutralising their harmful effects.
- Suppresses inflammation: It decreases toxin-induced inflammation markers like E-cadherin degradation and IL-6 activity.
- Prevents infection spread: By reducing membrane vesicles (MVs), OUFBW limits the transport of toxins between cells.
In essence, OUFBW doesn’t just kill harmful bacteria — it also disarms the toxins they produce, ensuring cleaner instruments and safer treatment environments.
Beyond Healthcare: Broader Applications
While the benefits of OUFBW are clear in dental and medical fields, the same technology can be applied across industries that rely on high hygiene standards.
- Food and Beverage: Sanitising processing equipment and extending shelf life without chemical residues.
- Water Treatment: Delivering chemical-free disinfection for potable and process water.
- Hospitality and Public Health: Purifying surfaces and air in high-traffic environments.
Harnessing Nature’s Technology
OUFBW perfectly aligns with Biozone Manufacturing’s philosophy, Harnessing Nature’s Technology to create cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environments. Our ongoing research into ozone and nanobubble systems ensures that each solution we design pushes the boundaries of purification, while remaining environmentally responsible.
