Frequently Asked Questions

How many negative ions does IONIQUE™ generate?

ZAXXON
Certified nanotechnology laboratories in Taiwan have demonstrated that IONIQUE™ may generate up to 140 counts of negative ions per cc into ambient air. This count may increase or decrease depending on the rise and fall of friction, heat, and positive ions count in air. back

How long will the negative ion capability of IONIQUE™ last?

ZAXXON
Zaxxon's patent-pending Clean Air Technology utilizes a natural ionization process that works gradually over the life of the product to neutralize the positively charged contaminants in the air. The floors will continue to be effective for the duration of the warranty as long as the floor is not damaged and continues to be exposed directly to the air. Carpets, rugs, and other items that may cover the floors will prevent effective ion exchange.

What is IONIQUE™ and how does it work?

ZAXXON
IONIQUE™ is a uniquely engineered polymeric flooring product from ZAXXON that uses patent-pending Clean Air Technology and incorporates naturally occurring ionized mineral composites to release negative ions into ambient air. While the overall flooring itself remains electrically neutral, when impacted by the heat and pressure of footsteps, molecules within the flooring can attract positively charged airborne antigens to the ground.

What are negative ions? How are they beneficial?

Optimal Skin Care Frequently Asked Questions - A Bravenet.co...
It is now medically recognized that degenerative skin conditions, such as ageing, wrinkles and skin discolorations are caused primarily by free-radical damage. Molecules attempting to repair themselves in this way trigger a cascading event called "free-radical damage." The action of free-radical damage takes place in a fraction of a second. Theoretically, free-radical damage can cause deterioration of the skin's support structures, decreasing elasticity and resilience.

WHAT ARE NEGATIVE CHARGED IONS?

FAQS
Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged Ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged Ion.  Like Ozone, Negative Charged Ions represent a natural method of cleaning the air we breath.

Q Ionic/Ozone Air Purifier
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

They're oxygen atoms with an extra electron. And they can help you feel better. Technically speaking: "Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged Ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged Ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us the most."

Are all negative ions the same size and does it matter?

Frequently Asked Questions
No, they are not all the same and yes it does matter. There are small, medium and large negative ions. Small (ingestible) negative ions are highly mobile and are biologically active. The Elanra is the only ioniser in the world to produce these consistently over a wide range. A process patented by the Australian manufacturer. Medium to large negative ions are sluggish and slow moving and merely clean the air. These molecule groups are called small ions or clusters.

Why is IONIQUE™ a revolutionary benchmark in the flooring industry?

ZAXXON
IONIQUE™ is a revolutionary benchmark in the flooring industry because it redefines the role that flooring can play in the betterment of our environment and our daily lives. Flooring is one of the most expansive surface areas in any building interior. However, up to now, the flooring products that cover these large areas have only been manufactured to fulfill the basics of aesthetics and durability performance.

Peak O3 Air Purifier Frequently Asked Questions
Most of the particles found in our indoor air carry a positive charge. By producing large quantities of negative ions, the Peak O3 causes those particles to clump together and fall out of the air.

HyperStealth FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Negative ions are molecules or atoms with a negative charge due to the loss of one or more electrons. Every breath you take contains a few hundred ions per cubic centimeter. In normal outdoor conditions the ratio between negative and positive ions is fairly even.

Frequently Asked Questions
Negative ions are natures most powerful air-cleansing agents. There is nothing in the world more effective in taking allergens and contaminates out of the air we breathe. Unfortunately, due to the tight construction of today's homes and buildings, they are unable to take effect within indoor environments. Negative ions are created by nature, and found at their most optimal levels where the air is most pure and healthy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NEGATIVE CHARGED IONS?

FAQS
One direct benefit is the removal of airborne particulates (many of which are the source of allergies) due to gravity.  By necessity, the particles which float in the air are very light.  The addition of the displaced electron often adds enough weight to the particle that it can no longer float freely in the air and it will fall harmlessly to the floor where it will be swept or vacuumed away.

How does a negative ion generator produce negative ions?

Frequently asked questions about negative ionizers
There's several ways to generate negative ions, but the way we do it is apply a safe, extremely low-current, high voltage to sharp points (the ion emitter). Without getting into a detailed explanation and delving into electron physics, the electrons build up on the sharp points and are ejected into the air, where they attach themselves to oxygen atoms. Since the electrons have a "negative" charge, the molecules of oxygen with extra electrons become negative ions.

How many negative ions does the passive negative ion generator produce?

HyperStealth FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ion Counters indicate that the original passive negative ion generator produces between a constant 550 ? 650 negative ions per cubic centimeter within an inch of the ion counter. The MarkII (second generation prototype) registers 1250 ions per cubic centimeter a few inches from the ion counter.

BatMax generates negative ions, what does that mean ?

BatMax I Help I FAQs
Air purifiers are are commonly known as negative ions (- ion) producer and are dispersed into the air throughout a room, where they interact with airborne pollutants. Negative ions then bring particles out of the air you breathe, while disinfecting some of the airborne micro-organisms in the environment. High DC voltage (over 1,000 V), especially when connected to pointed metal edges or needles, will produce ions of the same polarity as the voltage source. This is the basis of home ionizers.

How does the Neo-Tec Ionizer produce negative ions and ozone?

Clean Air FAQS: Air Cleaners, Air Purification, Air Purifier...
Neo-Tec Ionizer uses ionizing electrodes (needlepoint ionizers) to produce a high density of negative ions. Needlepoint ionization produces the highest concentration of negative ions of any other method. Each Neo-Tec Ionizer produces about 1,000,000 ions/cm.3. Also, it is very unlikely that the electrodes within the Neo-Tec Ionizer purifier will ever wear down or erode, since they are made from stainless steel. Most other ionizers use inferior materials for their electrodes (needlepoints).

What kind of health benefits have been credited to negative ions?

ZAXXON
Research scientists worldwide have consistently found the positive effect of negative ions on air quality and our general well-being. FDA has approved of negative ions as part of the treatments for allergies, hay fever and certain respiratory symptoms in U.S. medical facilities. In Europe, negative ions have been used to reduce rate of infection in special infection units.
