New Spraying Tools Offer Coverage, Residual Time

The ESS nozzle applies an induction electrical charge to liquid droplets sprayed through it in a fine mist. As the spray is atomized, the negatively charged droplets are carried in an air stream toward the target, according to a company release. The charge causes the droplets to wrap around the target object with a force of attraction of 75 times that of gravity. Droplets will even reverse direction and move upward against gravity to coat hidden surfaces providing four to ten times better coverage than conventional sprayers.
