Detailed Description:
Antibacterial plank flooring, simply put, is a flooring material that emits negative ions. The main component of the negative ion activator, the negative ion element, is a crystal structure belonging to the trigonal crystal system with a space group of R3m. It is a typical polar crystal with no symmetry center in the R3m point group, and the positive and negative charges along its C-axis cannot coincide. Consequently, the two ends of the crystal form positive and negative poles, and these poles do not disappear even in the absence of an external electric field, hence it is also known as the "long electrode," meaning the negative ion element crystal is a long charged body.
The principle is:
Negative ion element
"A long electrode creates an electric field around it, as the positive and negative charges lack a symmetric center, it possesses a dipole moment and the dipole moments are aligned in the same direction, polarizing the crystal to a high degree. This polarized state persists even when the external electric field is '0,' hence it is also known as 'spontaneous polarization,' leading to the accumulation of charges at the crystal's positive and negative poles. The strength of the electric field or the amount of charge depends on the inter-ionic distance and bond angle of the dipole moment, each crystal having its inherent dipole moment. Generally, long electrodes attract surrounding opposite charges, forming a surface charge layer on their surface, which shields most of the inherent electrode charges. Consequently, the static state of the crystal has a low capacity for negative ions (typically 50-100 per cm³). When subjected to slight external influences (such as temperature or pressure changes), the inter-ionic distances and bond angles change, increasing the polarization strength, releasing the charges in the surface charge layer, enhancing the electrode charge quantity, increasing the electric field intensity, and manifesting a clear charged state or forming microcurrents in a closed loop."
Sources include:
Formaldehyde, ammonia, and other volatile organic compounds released from decorative and construction materials.
(2) Various organic compounds such as H2S and smoke in toilets and kitchens;
(3) Odor from domestic waste and other decayed substances.
(4) Odor from smoking fumes.
Negative ion activator odor removal mechanism:
Most odors, unpleasant smells, bacteria, smoke, and other particles in the air carry a positive charge. Therefore, the released negative ions can neutralize them until they become charge-free and settle down.
(2) Smog and harmful gases containing oxygen free radicals can be neutralized by negative ions.
(3) Negative ion generator crystals form an electric field around each particle with a microcurrent of 0.06mA, causing bacteria and organic matter to decompose under the influence of the electric field current.
(4) Certain harmful gases react during the shrimp processing to form low-toxic substances.
The elimination of odors is a comprehensive result of the negative ion encapsulation sedimentation, negative ion neutralization, electric field current decomposition, and certain chemical reactions.
IV. Mechanism of Negative Ion Accelerator and Far Infrared Radiation:
Negative ion activator is a far-infrared radiation material highly beneficial to human health. The human body absorbs far-infrared wavelengths at 9.6μm, while the negative ion activator emits far-infrared radiation within a range of 2-18μm, with a radiation power output of 0.04w/cm2, slightly higher than the body's adsorption power density of 0.03w/cm2. These data fully demonstrate that the far-infrared radiation emitted by the negative ion activator is well-coordinated with the human body and can be completely absorbed by it.
V. Mechanism of Negative Ion Promoter's Antimicrobial and Bacteriostatic Properties:
1. Due to the strong electric field of 104-107 V/m surrounding the negative ion material, bacteria are killed or their division and proliferation are suppressed by the electric field's influence and the resulting 0.06 mV·A microcurrent.
