Plasmacluster Technology Protects You and Your Family
Plasmacluster technology generates and emits the same positive and negative ions that occur in nature. After purifying the air, the ions turn to water and return to the air.
With Sharp’s revolutionary Plasmacluster technology, it keeps your homes a pure, clean and healthier air. It has been proven to eliminate harmful viruses, bacteria, mould and other airborne allergens for your comfort and peace of mind.
The technology is the first in the world that demonstrates effectiveness in reducing airborne*1 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)*2, and reducing novel coronavirus (invcluding variant)*3 contained in adherent saliva*4.

Mechanism of Plasmacluster Ion
Stage01
Plasmacluster Ions are similar to positive and negative ions found in nature. The ions are surrounded by water molecules and are released into the air.
Stage02
The ions from hydroxide (OH) radicals are highly oxidising when they adhere to the surfaces of airborne microbes, such as suspended allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses. They remove hydrogen from the surface proteins, breaking them down.
Stage03
The hydroxide (OH) radicals combine with hydrogen(H) to form water (H20) which is returned to the air.
The Effectiveness of Plasmacluster Technology
With Plasmacluster Technology, every families can enjoy clean, healthy, safe air. It have been proven to remove harmful viruses, bacteria, mould and other airborne allergens, for your complete peace of mind.
