  • Patent number: 6279834
    Abstract: A method of reducing the droplet sizes of a composition sprayed from an aerosol spray device comprising a compressed gas propellant, which method comprises imparting a unipolar charge to the liquid droplets by double layer charging during the spraying of the liquid droplets from the aerosol spray device, the unipolar charge being at a level such that the said droplets have a charge to mass ratio of at least +/−1×10−4 C/kg.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2001
    Assignee: Reckitt & Colman Products Limited
    Inventors: Rodney Thomas Fox, Neale Mark Harrison, John Farrell Hughes, Lindsey Faye Whitmore
  • Patent number: 6199766
    Abstract: A method of killing flying insects which method comprises spraying into the air in which insects are flying liquid droplets of an insecticidal composition, a unipolar charge being imparted to the said liquid droplets by double layer charging and charge separation during spraying, the unipolar charge being at a level such that the said droplets have a charge to mass ratio of at least +/−1×10−4 C/kg.
