Unlike traditional spraying methods, electrostatic sprayers Apply a positive charge to the liquid disinfectant as they pass through the nozzle. Positively charged disinfectants are attracted to negatively charged surfaces, allowing for effective coating of hard, non-porous surfaces.

What are the CDC guidelines for using electrostatic sprayers or nebulizers during the COVID-19 pandemic?

If you use an electrostatic sprayer or nebulizer, only people wearing appropriate PPE should be in the room. Applicants should leave the room after applying. Stay out of the area for the time indicated on the product label and as specified by the application equipment. If possible, open doors and windows after use to ventilate the space.
