Victory Electrostatic Handheld Sprayer
The Boch Ice Center is fighting against COVID-19 with Electrostatic Disinfection!
How does the Victory Electrostatic Handheld Sprayer work?
Electrostatic spray is electrically charged, allowing the appropriate sanitizers, mold preventatives and disinfectants to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces for a more complete clean. As the chemical exits the electrostatic sprayer, it’s given a positive electrical charge. The droplets then become attracted to all negative surfaces, covering the visible area, underside and backside, with the sanitizing agent. Surfaces that are already covered will repel the spray, making the method extremely efficient.
Reduces the time it takes to cover and disinfect all surfaces and hard-to-reach places by 50% compared to conventional methods
Improves infection control and the spread of viruses
Applies chemicals in a more efficient, controlled manner, eliminating the dangers of overuse
For desktops, floors and walls that need to be absolutely spotless, electrostatic spray cleaning is the best option. The same goes for equipment and hard to reach places; if a piece of equipment is heavily trafficked, electrostatic spray cleaning in the most comprehensive way to remove germs.
These are stressful times and we want to make sure that hockey is a positive place for both physical and mental health.
