Is Electrostatic Disinfection Right for Your Facility?

This year’s pandemic events have created the need for effective and safe disinfection and sanitation methods more urgent than ever before. Surface cleaning with wipes and manual sprays has been proven to be an unreliable method for disinfection because hard-to-reach surfaces are not able to be cleaned properly. Electrostatic spraying has long been a tried and tested method to effectively disinfect large and inconspicuous areas with ease. With the recent pandemic, there has been a boom in demand for Electrostatic Spraying, but is it right for your facility?

What Is Electrostatic Spraying?

Electrostatic spraying is a type of surface cleaning that consists of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects. Electrostatic spraying use a solution (i.e., cleaner, sanitizer, and/or disinfectant) that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer. The resulting spray contains positively charged particles that adhere to surfaces and objects. Because the particles in the spray are positively charged, they cling to and coat any surface, thoroughly disinfecting the area’s services.

How Does Electrostatic Spraying Work?

The electrostatic spray is electrically charged, allowing cleaners, sanitizers, mold preventatives, and disinfectants to distribute evenly to coat all types of surfaces for a more comprehensive clean. As the spray is emitted by the electrostatic sprayer, it is given a positive electrical charge. The positively charged mist then becomes attracted to all negative surfaces, covering the visible area, underside, backside, and other inconspicuous areas with the sanitizing agent. Surfaces that are already covered with the positively charged mist will repel additional spray. With electrostatic spray, disinfectant is sprayed uniformly across all surfaces, including hard-to-reach corners, giving complete sanitization to your facility.

How Long Does Electrostatic Spraying Last?

Electrostatic spraying, or electrostatic disinfection, disinfects, or kills, unwanted pathogens from targeted surface areas, but does not create a protective barrier. It will not protect those surfaces from becoming infected again.
