The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) recently announced the approval of the use of disinfectant electrostatic equipment. With the emergence of electrostatic equipment manufacturers of disinfectant products will have to display on their labels, the compatibility of applying their product using an electrostatic sprayer.

The popularity of electrostatic sprayers is their ability to charge disinfectant particles positively, once sprayed, they adhere to negative surfaces, wrapping them around. Barfield, uses the Cube from On Target Spray Systems for its disinfecting needs.

To help navigate the information from the  EPA our team of data visualization extracted the information from their website creating the dashboard below.  It is designed to help our aviation partners better understand the type of product, kill time, and applications.

To follow what OEMs approve regarding aircraft interior disinfection, please refer to their manuals or service information letters. For corporate aircraft, the National Business Aviation Association has compiled good information. To learn more, click on the following link Coronavirus Disease 2019 ( COVID-19)
