-
What is Electrostatic Disinfection?Electrostatic disinfection is a cutting-edge cleaning method that uses an electrostatically charged mist to coat surfaces and objects evenly. The charged particles adhere to surfaces, providing thorough coverage and effective germ removal, even in hard-to-reach areas.
-
How does Electrostatic Disinfection work?The spray is electrically charged, enabling sanitizers, disinfectants, and mold preventatives to wrap around surfaces. As the solution exits the sprayer, it receives a positive charge, which allows it to stick to negatively charged surfaces, including undersides and backsides. This ensures comprehensive coverage without overuse of chemicals.
-
What are the benefits of Electrostatic Disinfection?Reduces cleaning time by 50% compared to traditional methods. Improves infection control and minimizes the spread of viruses like MRSA, HIV, and influenza. Eliminates overuse of cleaning chemicals through precise application. Decreases financial burdens related to healthcare-associated infections.

-
What is Zetrisil® technology?Zetrisil® is a proprietary nano-based silicone compound created by ESC Brands that is used solely or in conjunction with either isopropyl alcohol or conventional quaternary ammonium compounds. Zetrisil® effectively protects and/or “shields” the area it is applied to from bacterial contamination by way of a long-lasting, cationic-charged, nano-silicone coating.
-
How does Zetrisil® work?Our Zetrisil-based formulations are effective as a bacterial static to broad spectrum kill against germs & bacteria, with the additional benefit of protection for up to 28 days per application.
-
How is the efficacy of our products measured?The analysis technique for determining the surface charge of nanoparticles in a solution (colloids) is called “Zeta Potential”. Nanoparticles have a surface charge measured in millivolts that attracts a thin layer of ions of opposite charge to the nanoparticle surface.
-
What is Zeta Potential?The analysis technique for determining the surface charge of nanoparticles in a solution (colloids)
-
How does Zeta Potential improve the efficacy of Disinfectants & Sanitizers?The majority of germs & bacteria are negatively charged nanoparticles. With a positively charged disinfectant or sanitizer, they will be attracted to each other and agglomerate the negatively charged germs or bacteria particles around the positively charged disinfectant or sanitizer solution therefore improving the kill time and efficacy rate per volume of liquid, disinfectant, or sanitizer.
-
Why is Zeta Potential Important for Disinfectants & Sanitizers?The greater the positive charge disinfectants or sanitizing solutions have, the greater the killing effect against negatively charged germs & bacteria, by way of opposite pole magnetic attraction.
-
Can Zeta potentially kill germs and bacteria magnetically?Yes. Changing the magnetic charge around the germ or bacteria cell can damage the cell wall membrane causing osmosis imbalance to the germ or bacteria, causing the cell wall to rupture, lyse, and explode.
-
Is there a Zeta Potential assessment?Yes, An aliquot of 10 mL was taken from each sample and placed in the zeta-check cylinder. Each measurement was completed in 30 seconds. Analysis was performed in duplicate. Results are summarized in Table 1. It was found that both the samples showed incipient stability.
