Electrostatic disinfection is a cost-effective way to disinfect small, medium, and large spaces in a short amount of time. Electrostatic spray technology is an innovative way to apply cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants to treat surfaces in less time and with better coverage than traditional cleaning methods.

This technology works by charging the liquid cleaner or disinfectant as it passes through the spray nozzle. A special solution is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer. The charged droplets repel one another and actively seek out environmental surfaces.

When the droplets find environmental surfaces, they stick to them or wrap around to coat all sides. This results in a uniform coating of the cleaner or disinfectant on the surfaces sprayed, which includes hard-to-reach cracks and crevices that wiping by hand can miss.

The kill time depends on the type of liquid (cleaner, sanitizer, disinfectant), its ingredients, and its strength. However, it generally takes 1 to 5 minutes to kill 99.99% of pathogens after the spray is applied to a surface. Its touchless application means zero cross contamination, which means that a room can be truly and completely sanitized or disinfected.

Benefits of Electrostatic Disinfection

Cracks and crevices can harbor dirt, dust, bacteria, and disease-causing germs, but are the hardest places to clean and disinfect. One of the main benefits of electrostatic spraying is its ability to wrap around and cling to all surface areas, including inside cracks and hard-to-reach crevices. This ensures that places that can’t be reached by hand are cleaned and disinfected completely.

All disinfectants and cleaners that are used in electrostatic machines are OSHA, EPA, and CDC approved and compliant. There are certain cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants that cannot be used inside an electrostatic spray machine because the liquid won’t be atomized, which means it won’t stick to and coat the surface needing to be cleaned.

Electrostatic spraying is safer and a more consistent application that does not disrupt existing areas, papers, or surfaces. Electrostatic spraying also provides a quick kill time, depending on the liquid cleaner or disinfectant being used. This technology also does not leave any residue, which is often a complaint with some traditional cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants that are applied with a spray bottle and wiped clean with a cloth.

Another benefit is that electrostatic spraying can be done on keyboards, phones, copiers, and other electronics safely without damaging them. Cleaning and disinfecting thoroughly in computer rooms, labs with high-tech equipment, and office areas where copiers and fax machines are housed can be difficult using traditional methods. Electrostatic spraying solves this problem while ensuring spaces between buttons, keys.
