What size of molecules can a ULV fogger produce?

A ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogger is specifically designed to create very small droplets of liquid that can be dispersed into the air. The size of the droplets produced by a ULV fogger typically ranges from 8 to 15 microns. This size is optimal for various applications, including the application of disinfectants and pesticides because it allows for effective distribution and penetration throughout a treated area.

Droplets within this size range have the right balance of staying airborne long enough to cover a space efficiently while also being large enough to settle onto surfaces, ensuring thorough treatment. The effectiveness of ULV fogging relies on this fine mist, which can easily reach surfaces and crevices that may not be accessible with larger droplet sizes.

Understanding this helps in selecting the right equipment for specific restoration scenarios, particularly when addressing fire and smoke damage that may require both cleaning and disinfecting strategies.
