  • Publication number: 20220362113
    Abstract: A composition for electrostatic spraying according to the present disclosure contains a microcapsule, a solvent for dispersion, and an acidic conductive regulator. An electrostatic spraying device includes an atomizer that electrostatically atomizes the composition for electrostatic spraying. Since the composition for electrostatic spraying contains an acidic conductive regulator, droplets that are acidic aqueous solutions are generated by electrostatic atomization. When the generated droplets are supplied to a supply target site, an effect based on a property of the droplets as the acidic aqueous solutions is exerted on the supply target site.
