Plasmacluster Technology

SHARP's unique Plasmacluster technology neutralizes airborne bacteria and viruses, deactivates and eliminates airborne mould and other contaminants.

Plasmacluster benefits

  • Suppresses the activity of airborne viruses
  • Suppresses the activity of airborne microbes
  • Is effective all year round
  • Deactivates and suppresses airborne allergens, dead dust mites and their feces
  • Deactivates and suppresses persistent odors (such as tobacco smoke)
  • Suppresses static electricity that attracts airborne particles
  • Effectively combats adherent and airborne mold and mildew

1. Ions are diffused.

Plasmacluster ions are identical to the positive and negative ions found in nature. These ions are surrounded by water molecules and released into the air.
Ions are long-lived * 3 because they are surrounded by water molecules.

2. The ions stick to suspended allergens and mold.

The ions create highly oxidizing OH radicals which stick to the surfaces of molds or viruses. The ions immediately remove hydrogen from surface proteins, eventually destroying the contaminants.

3. Back into the air in the form of water/moisture.

OH radicals combine with hydrogen (H) to create water (H2O), which naturally returns to the air.

Mold deactivation

Mould spores are carried on clothing and in the air, and can trigger an allergic reaction if inhaled. Sharp's long-life HEPA filter catches 99.97% of airborne particles (including mold spores) as small as 0.3 microns.

Allergen deactivation

Sharp's air purifiers, and especially the models incorporating a humidifier, help to remove airborne dust and pollen from the rooms in your home; these two substances are responsible for around 80% of all allergy-related illnesses.

Virus deactivation

Sharp Plasmacluster ion technology mobilizes negative and positive ions to actively seek out and deactivate viruses - including flu and cold viruses - all year round, but especially in autumn and winter.

Odor elimination

Equipped with a heavy-duty pre-filter and activated carbon filter, Sharp air purifiers help eliminate most indoor odors (including garbage, bathroom, smoke and pets).
