What is Electrostatic Disinfection and Does it Work?

Electrostatic sterilization employs a specific sprayer to deliver the most thorough sterilization coverage feasible. Electrostatic sprayers mix the sterilizing solution they contain with air, then utilize an electrode within the sprayer tip to impart an electric charge. Upon charging, the sterilizer is sprayed onto surfaces. The positively charged sterilizer adheres to any negatively charged surface. This results in a more uniform and comprehensive layer of sterilizer, assisting in the elimination of any pathogens present on the surface.

The molecules with positive charges in the spray push each other away, aiding the spray to fully and comprehensively coat its intended target. These molecules also adhere to the surface they are used on due to the attracting power of the electric charges. 

This technology is proven and reliable, having been utilized by various sectors for many years. Electrostatic spray technology is employed in car painting, ensuring uniform application of paint even in the most challenging areas. This electrostatic method has also been adapted for disinfection purposes, offering an alternative that can distribute disinfectant comprehensively and evenly on surfaces.

Will Electrostatic Disinfection Effectively Disinfect Surfaces Against Diseases Such As COVID-19?

Protecting your business from SARS-CoV-2 is serious work, and it’s incredibly important work. One of the most important parts of that work is prevention. Steps like mandating masks and educating your employees on appropriate handwashing procedures go a long way.

Another important piece is to use disinfectants that are strong enough to tackle it. Electrostatic spray disinfection can play an incredibly important part in helping to fight COVID-19. It can cover large swaths of your high-traffic areas quickly, and electrostatic spray can reach places no other disinfecting tool can.

And since the spray applies evenly and dries on its own, cleaning crews can disinfect without ever touching the surfaces they’re disinfecting. That means there’s little to no risk of your cleaning crew inadvertently spreading the germs they’re trying to fight.

Whether your business needs to fight germs in keyboards, disinfect hospital rooms, or simply keep spaces like elevators and meeting rooms free of SARS-CoV-2, an electrostatic sprayer can be a powerful tool for disinfecting.
