On October 25, the ESD Association will conduct an online presentation, “Air Ionization: Theory and Practice,” that will explain how to use air ionization to solve problems caused by static charge.

Ionization probably is the most misunderstood ESD-control technique used by the electronics industry today. We can relate to dissipative worksurfaces, wrist straps, and chairs with grounding chains.

Air ionization is the most effective method of eliminating static charges on nonconductive materials and isolated conductors. Air ionizers generate large quantities of positive and negative ions in ...

Ionization systems, installed in medical device manufacturing facilities’ gown-up rooms and product transfer areas have proven to be critical components in reducing particle counts in the associated ...

An air ionizer releases negative ions into the air. This helps particles clump together and land on a surface, which could be cleaned. Benefits include mold, bacteria, and virus prevention, among ...
