In light of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), environmental cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces have become more important than ever before. Research studies show that environmental cleaning and disinfection play important roles in helping to prevent the spread of infection. New technology in this industry is the application of EPA-approved disinfectants utilizing electrostatic application systems for proper surface disinfection. Electrostatics is a proven technology in the agricultural and automotive industries. This technology is now being integrated into the infection prevention and control industry as a tool to break the chain of pathogen mobility.
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.
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 the 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).
Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges (Electrostatics, 2016). Electrostatic phenomena is easily demonstrated when lint is attracted to clothes, or when dust clings to a TV screen. These descriptions are examples of Coulomb’s law. Coulomb’s law states that opposite electrical charges attract and like charges repel. Electrostatic spraying has been used for many decades in painting and agriculture. Our system uses this same process to apply a charge to the liquid droplets as they are formed and just before the droplets leave the spray nozzle. These “super-charged” droplets then actively seek out negative or neutral surfaces. What’ more, as the droplets leave the nozzle, the charged droplets repel one another, keeping them from coming together and forming larger droplets. Interestingly, because of the electrostatic charge, droplets “wrap” around surfaces providing an even, consistent surface coverage.
EPA studies (EPA-600-R-15-279 and USEPA 2015b) show that compared to traditional sprayer systems, an electrostatic spray technology is more efficient, reduces waste, and delivers a more uniform distribution of liquids over uneven surfaces.
