The same positive and negative ions found in nature are created and released through plasma discharge. Plasmacluster technology, an air-purification technology developed by Sharp, decomposes and eliminates airborne mold fungus and viruses.

　

The same positive and negative ions found in nature are discharged. They are enclosed within water molecules, and therefore have a long life.

The ions change into OH radicals with extremely strong oxidizing power only when they become attached to the surface of fungi or viruses, and immediately decompose the proteins on the surface by extracting hydrogen.

The OH radicals combine with hydrogen to form water (H2O) and return to the air.

Plasmacluster ions have been confirmed to have the same level of safety as ions existing in nature.

The positive and negative plasmacluster ions adhere to the surface of airborne fungi, change into OH radicals with extremely strong oxidizing power, and physically decompose and eliminate the proteins on the surface of the airborne fungi. Since the airborne ions are of the same type found in nature, a high density can be achieved in living environments.

Highly reliable safety data has been obtained for Sharp's plasmacluster technology at GLP※ (Good Laboratory Practice) compliant testing facilities. ●Skin irritancy/causticity study ●Eye irritancy/causticity study ●Inhalation toxicity study (assessment of effects on genes in lung tissue) Testing agency: Mitsubishi Chemical Safety Institute, Ltd.

※GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) is a set of standards for testing facilities and testing procedures, to ensure the reliability of safety assessment tests such as those performed on chemical substances.

High voltage and an increase in the number of electrical discharges allows the plasmacluster ion generation device unit to powerfully generate a high density of positive and negative ions. Further, the positive and negative ions are surrounded by water molecules, giving them a long life.

Plasmacluster technology, an air-purification technology developed by Sharp, uses the release of safe positive and negative ions of the same type found in nature to purify the air. This technology allows the elimination of a large number of harmful substances, such as airborne mold fungi, viruses, and allergenic substances. Effects of this technology have been validated by public testing agencies both within Japan and overseas.

Ion diffusion release form for high-density plasmaclusters

●	In order to ensure a stable release of high-density plasmacluster ions, the plasmacluster ion generation unit in this product must be replaced regularly※
※	Total operation time is approximately 17,500 hours (approximately 2 years for a unit that operates 24 hours a day). Operation of the unit will stop after approximately 19,000 hours (approximately 2 years and 2 months).

In addition to the long nozzle, the decreased diameter of the discharge outlet can blow the high-density plasmacluster ions farther into your room.

A separate discharge structure is used to divide the discharge outlet into two sections. It prevents a drop in concentration due to the combination of positive and negative ions near the discharge outlet, releasing the plasmacluster ions efficiently.

A high density is achieved with the use of a plasmacluster ion generation unit, which has an increased number of plasmacluster ions discharged due to high voltage and an increase in the number of electrical discharges.
