What is Electrostatic Disinfection and how does it work?

Electrostatic is the technology* used to dispense the Disinfectant. The electrostatic process works by using an Electrostatic Sprayer that gives a postive charge to the disinfectant as it exits the nozzle. The charged molecules will repel each other, but will be attracted to the negative surface to which they are applied, providing 360 degree coverage in a way that human hands simply can't.

The Electrostatic process reduces the risk of cross-contamination and is cost effective, eliminatiing the overuse of liquid disinfectants. It is also at least 75% faster than conventional methods of applying disinfectant – saving on labour costs.

What is the difference between the Oxytise Antimicrobial Coating and your Antiviral Disinfectant?

The major difference is our Antimicrobial Coating does not evaporate after being applied and the coating bonds to the surface it has been applied to for 30 days. Our liquid disinfectant works at the point of disinfection when the surface is wet, but once the disinfectant is wiped off or dried, it is no longer capable of killing any further micro-organisms that may recontaminate the surface. Surfaces can become recontaminated to the same levels as before disinfection within 1 – 2 hours. To This is the reason why we use a next generation biocide.

However, to achieve maximum efficiency we recommend a two-stage approach - Disinfection and an Antimicrobial Coating protection.

To what can an Antiviral Disinfectant be applied?

Our coating adheres to a wide variety of surfaces, including metals, plastics, ceramics, timber, carpets and upholstery (does not stain fabric).

Is Electrostatic Disinfection a replacement for regular cleaning?

If a surface is dirty, it must be cleaned beforehand. Dirt and grime create a barrier that will not allow a sanitizer/disinfectant to do its job, so to fully protect your office and work environment, it’s important to clean first and then electrostatically disinfect.
