Mechanism of Plasmacluster Ions
1
ION Emission
Plasmacluster ions, the same positive and negative ion found in nature, are generated by plasma discharge and release to the air.
2
Effect on viruses, bacteria and mold
This ions form hydroxide (OH) radicals that are highly oxidising only when they adhere to the surface of mold and viruses. They instantly remove the hydrogen from the surface protein, breaking them down.
3
Return into the air
The hydroxide (OH) radicals combine with hydrogen (H) to form water (H2O) which returs to the air.
The Effectivness of Plasmacluster Ion High Density
* The number in this technology mark indicates an approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3, which is measured around the center of the applicable room floor area (at 1.2 m height above the floor) when the product is placed close to a wall at the MED mode setting.
