What is Electrostatic Spraying?
Have you ever taken a balloon and rubbed it on your hair and then made it stick to a wall? That’s electrostatic charging in a simple way. When you rub the balloon against your hair, the balloon acquires a negative charge due to exchange of electrons. The negatively charged balloon is attracted to a positively charged or neutral surface such a wall. So, opposite charges attract. Just plain vanilla science.
The automotive & aviation industries have used this technology for years as an efficient way of applying chemicals and paints. Similarly, this technology can be used to apply disinfectants. Electrostatically applied chemicals result in a significant increase in droplet attraction and their attachment to surfaces resulting in complete & uniform converage.
Surface Disinfection
Most surface areas are neutral (uncharged) or negative. Electrostatic application for surface disinfection is a method of applying EPA-registered disinfectants to a target surface area by utilizing electrostatic force of attraction. Simply put, the electrostatic system places an electrical charge on the droplets and disperses them across a target surface area, providing a comprehensive, even coverage. This provides a consistent and uniform coverage in which the droplets adhere to vertical, horizontal and three-dimensional surfaces. As proven in the agriculture and automotive industries, this electrostatic application process takes less time to achieve the desired effect, while substantially reducing chemical costs. (Laryea and No, 2004 and 2005; Matthews, 1992)
How Long do Germs Stay on Surfaces?
SARS-CoV-2 can remain on surfaces for hours, and up to 9 days. Research has shown that microorganisms can survive on surfaces for days, weeks, and even months, and can be hidden from current spray and wipe methods. (Kramer, 2006) Using electrostatic technology provides effective, proven, safe and comprehensive surface coverage and eliminates cross contamination of dangerous pathogens.
When using an electrostatic application mechanism, the atomized droplets are discharged from the nozzle and form a uniform coating on the surface that can can also wrap around various surfaces. Did you know that research shows that electrostatic application is eight times more effective than conventional spraying?
Does Electrostatically Applied Disinfectant Perform Better?
In both third party testing and real world settings, clinical studies have shown electrostatic application methodology can provide efficacy and significant improvements within environmental services terminal cleaning procedures. In the American Journal of Infection Control, a study for decontaminating the operating room environment was presented. It was found that using persistent technology with a quaternary ammonium and trichloromelamine solution using a 40-micron electrostatic applicator will significantly reduce colony-forming units (CFUs) remaining after standard terminal cleaning (Sutton, 2015). A study performed in the laboratory setting with an 85-micron electrostatic applicator utilizing a hydrogen peroxide and sliver based product for efficacy against S. Aureus, P. Aeruginosa, MRSA, and C. Difficile showed an average of 99.999% reduction of vegetative bacteria (S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and MRSA) and an average 99% reduction of spore-forming bacteria (C. difficile) as labeled on the product for surfaces (Ebron, 2014). Other healthcare system studies have shown a significant decrease in hospital re-admission rates, turnaround times for patient discharge/transfer rooms, chemical consumption, and in labor.
