BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYING EVALUATION
Link to study:
EPA’s Evaluation of Electrostatic Sprayers…
Studies by the USA Environmental Protection Agency have demonstrated that electrostatic decontamination methods are more efficient, reduce waste, and deliver a more uniform distribution of liquids over uneven surfaces. The EPA found that electrostatic backpack sprayers used 75x less decontaminant than the traditional backpack sprayers. The study also demonstrated that the electrostatic sprayer had double the efficacy against biological agents due to the minimal amount of
runoff moving spores prior to their deactivation.

U.S. Army Public Health Center on Electrostatic Sprayers…
The electrostatic sprayer positively charges the disinfectant as it passes through the sprayer nozzle. This generates positively charged disinfectant droplets that seek out negatively charged surfaces. The positively charged disinfectant droplets stick to the surfaces in a uniform coating that fully covers the targeted surfaces. Over-application is reduced because the charged particles will seek out an exposed surface area instead of adhering to each other. The droplets
are applied wet and left to dry, affording the required disinfectant contact time. The recommended disinfection ingredient for this process is a product that uses quaternary ammonium chloride because it is naturally positively charged and more chemically stable for the process. However, hydrogen-peroxide, hypochlorous acid, and bleach-based products can be used in the devices

NHTSA’s Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS.gov) on Electrostatic Sprayers…
Operationally, a solution is pulled through the spray nozzle where turbulent air flow shears off droplets into small, reproducible sizes. Electrostatic sprayers apply a positive charge to the decon solution in the reservoir, at the nozzle, or both. Because the droplets exit the sprayer system with a positive charge,
they repel one another enroute to the surface to be decontaminated. This results in an even distribution of decontaminant across the surface and a “wrapping” effect where the spray wraps around multiple sides of an object and into hard to reach areas. The forces attracting the positively charged droplet to its target (most surfaces are either negatively charged or neutral) are approximately 75 times the force of gravity! This minimizes runoff by reducing the chance of droplets aggregating and then
falling to the ground as seen with traditional sprayers. Regardless of the decontamination application technology that you use, remember that best practices need to be adhered to…it’s not magic, it’s a tool to provide enhanced decontamination efficiency.

Diversey Technical Bulletin on Electrostatic Sprayers…
The use of electrostatic sprayers is gaining acceptance as a no-touch method for applying disinfectants and sanitizers to surfaces. Electrostatic sprayers have been used in the agricultural and paint markets for years, and are designed to convert liquids into uniform-sized droplets and then apply a “charge” to each droplet as it leaves the spray nozzle of the device. This charge attracts the droplets to untreated surfaces, while repelling these droplets from each other and treated surfaces, enabling them to “wrap’ around surfaces or objects. This results in an even application (coating) of the chemical on surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas on the underside and backside of surfaces. These sprayers can help to improve labor efficiency while reducing chemical waste and overspray.

HOW TO USE AN ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYER PROPERLY
Using an electrostatic sprayer requires the user to take extra precautions before use. This includes the following:
- Wearing rubber gloves and shoes with rubber soles
- Removing any conductive materials from the body such as metal or steel objects as well as copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. This includes jewelry, keys and tools.
- Never touch the nozzle once the electrostatic sprayer is turned on.
- Do NOT use this device in the rain or when soaked in water or liquid.
- This device is meant to be used on the back when in use and not on the side.
- Only use the fan when outdoors. For indoor usage the fan is not necessary.
- When done spraying, shut down the equipment and place the nozzle against an object or ground to eliminate residual static electricity.
