Electrostatic Means Better Spray Coverage

Our ESS XT-3 electrostatic sprayer has the ability to coat surfaces with a fine mist of a disinfecting chemical – it doesn’t bead up and run off, it dries quickly, but most of all, it goes where other sprays don’t go. It wraps around and covers the underneath and the back side of exposed surfaces. That’s right! Regular sprayers just can’t do that.

Left: With Electrostatic Charge - Right: Without Electrostatic Charge


In practice, this means that ESS Electrostatic Sprayers offer a superior weapon in the fight against staphylococcus and other infective organisms. For example, an application of disinfectant applied with an ESS sprayer to a high school weight room would cover substantially better than a conventional sprayer — just as you see in the photograph of the ceramic test targets above. Without an electrostatic charge, only the side directly facing the sprayer receives any of the fluorescent dye. Less than 50% of the target is covered. In fact, the back side is still the original shiny black and reflects the fully-coated left knob.

It's That Simple!

How we conducted the
Fluoro-dye test

Two black ceramic knobs were used as targets. The test sprayer was loaded with orange fluorescent dye. The first knob was placed at 18 inches away from the nozzle and then sprayed with the electrostatic system OFF. That's the knob on the right. Then the test sprayer's electrostatic system was turned ON. The second knob was placed on the same spindle as the first and sprayed the same amount of time that the first knob was sprayed.

To make sure we were able to see precisely where the dye was deposited, the two knobs were photographed together under blacklights.
