Could a charged surface attract dust during cleanroom installation before operation begins?

The charge is present whether or not air is moving, and the company publishes no measurement of what a filter picks up before a system is started.

The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.

The label directs that the filter is stored flat or on edge in the original packaging, indoors and dry, and that a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged is not installed.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
