Understanding MIRON Violet Glass and Its Light Transmission

MIRON violet glass is engineered to provide optimal protection for stored items by carefully controlling light exposure. Here’s how it works:

1. Light Transmission Spectrum: MIRON violet glass has unique light transmission properties. It effectively blocks invisible UV-C (200-290 nm) and UV-B (290-320 nm) radiation, which can cause degradation in stored materials. However, it allows some UV-A (320-400 nm) and visible violet light to pass through, peaking at 390 nm. This selective filtering helps protect contents from harmful light while allowing beneficial wavelengths to penetrate.

2. Infrared Light Transmission: The glass also transmits infrared light from 700 nm to 1500 nm, with a peak at 950 nm. This property helps in preserving the energy and quality of stored substances, including food and botanical extracts.

3. Scientific Validation: Research by the Fraunhofer Institute in Munich highlights the effectiveness of violet glass. They found that rosewater stored in violet glass maintained its quality better than when stored in brown glass, which allowed significant degradation of key aromatic compounds over two months.

4. Biophotonic Insights: Biophotonics studies, which examine light particles emitted by living cells, reveal that light energy is crucial for biological processes. Professor Popp and Dr. Niggli's research indicates that violet glass helps maintain the bio-energy and nutritional quality of stored items by protecting them from harmful light frequencies. This preservation of light energy is essential for sustaining the vitality and health benefits of food and plant extracts.

In summary, MIRON violet glass stands out for its ability to block harmful UV radiation while allowing beneficial light frequencies to pass through, making it a superior choice for preserving the quality and nutritional value of stored products.
