IONIZATION EQUIPMENT


Air ionization complements and completes any program that intends to eliminate all electrostatic charge sources. In many areas, such as Cleanrooms and in mini environments air ionization is the only practical method of static control. Ionization can neutralize static charges on insulative materials which cannot be grounded and can be considered as the safety net for effective ESD Control.
