What is Electrostatic Spraying? Electrostatic spraying is a method of applying a coating, cleaner, disinfectant, or other liquid to a surface by applying an electric charge to the liquid solution. Electrostatic spray technology was invented in the 1930s to improve spray disposition.

What is an electrostatic sprayer used for?

Unlike conventional spraying methods, electrostatic sprayers apply a positive charge to liquid disinfectants as they pass through the nozzle. The positively charged disinfectant is attracted to negatively charged surfaces, which allows for efficient coating of hard nonporous surfaces.

What is the difference between a sprayer and an electrostatic sprayer?

Electrostatic Spraying Systems air-assisted sprayers produce spray droplets 900 times smaller than those produced by conventional sprayers. The tiny droplets are given an electrical charge that causes a natural force between the spray droplets and a target surface. Most surfaces are either negative or neutral.
