Electrostatic Sanitization and Disinfection For Effective Protection

Table of Contents

Due to the current pandemic, most businesses and public facilities are concerned about the level of disinfection they are being provided by their cleaning services. At BioTek Environmental, we have been providing our clients with the most effective sanitization currently available. We disinfect with the use of the most advanced technology – electrostatic sprayers.

What Are Electrostatic Sprayers?

Electrostatic Sprayers produce a positive electric charge to spray droplets. This charge causes disinfectant/sanitizer droplets to be attracted to the negative surface areas as if they were magnetized. Consequently, the disinfection/sanitization process is much faster and provides more uniform coverage of the targeted area. The droplets of the liquid disinfectant/sanitizer can even attach to areas out of the direct line of sight of the sprayer which would normally be missed by normal sprayers.

Applying Existing Technology 

Although electrostatic spraying has not been readily used in the cleaning industry until recently, this technology has been of disinfectants and sanitizers is new to the cleaning industry, but it is not a new technology. Since 1941, when it was first introduced, electrostatic spraying was used to spray paints and coatings uniformly irrespective of the complexity of the object to be painted. Later on, it was also used to spray crops with pesticides since it could cover both the top and bottom of the leaves. What’s also impressive about electrostatic sprayers is that they can use up to one-third less of a solution to cover an area compared with other more conventional methods because waste is minimized. 

Why Electrostatic Sprayers Are Now Used By The Cleaning Industry

The cleaning industry realized the great potential of using electrostatic sprayers in applying sanitizers and disinfectants more effectively. The traditional methods of dry and wet dusting, unless done with rags which are washed carefully and regularly, basically spread the germs around. On the other hand, the electrostatic spraying devices expel droplets that electromagnetically attach to surfaces and envelop all targeted objects with a force 40 times greater than the force of gravity. Therefore, we can ensure that surfaces that normally get missed because they may be hidden or difficult to reach can be covered with disinfectant on all sides (top and bottom just like a leaf). Furthermore, due to the positively charged nature of the droplets, they are repelled on surfaces that have been sprayed, so the result is an even cover of the disinfectant.

Another advantage of the electrostatic spraying technique is that since the droplets are attracted to surfaces, they do not drift away or fall onto the floor area. In fact, the coverage to tops, sides, and bottoms is increased 70 times more than conventional sprayers.

As a result, we are now able to all surfaces, including hard-to-reach ones, much more effectively which means that the risk of infections is reduced significantly and the sanitizers and disinfectants applied are not overused and harm the environment.
