Plasmacluster Technology
Used in a variety of IndustriesPlasmacluster Ion technology is recognised and used across a wide range of industries. In collaboration with a number of companies, Sharp has expanded the Plasmacluster Ion technology to the following industries worldwide:
• Reduce suspended allergens and floating mould spores with positive and negative ions
Plasmacluster Ions are helpful in deactivating allergens caused
by dust mites and in deactivating mould spores that can cause
mildew in the home. Sharp Air Purifiers help to improve the
quality of the air you breathe.
• Reduce suspended viruses with positive and negative ions
Plasmacluster Ions break down and remove projecting spike-
shaped proteins of suspended viruses such as influenza,
reducing their effects.
• Neutralise odour-causing molecules with positive and negative ions
Plasmacluster Ions help to reduce the source of a wide range of
unpleasant household odours including cooking, pets, garbage
and cigarette smoke.
Advantages of Plasmacluster Ions
Sharp sales of products incorporating Plasmacluster Ion Technology has exceeded 60 Million units worldwide.
Sharp Air Purifiers have been tested and approved by The British Allergy Foundation.

Sharp Air Purifiers contain a Plasmacluster Ion generator that releases positive and negative ions into the air. The Plasmacluster Ions diffuse through the room, surrounding airborne allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses, converting hydrogen molecules in their surface proteins into water.
1. Release Plasmacluster IonsPlasmacluster Ions are similar to positive
and negative ions found in nature. The
ions are surrounded by water molecules
and are released into the air.
2. Attack suspended airborne microbesThe ions form hydroxide (OH) radicals that are highly oxidising
when they adhere to the surface of airborne microbes like
suspended allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses. They remove
hydrogen from the surface proteins, breaking them down.
3. Return to the air as waterThe hydroxide (OH) radicals combine
with hydrogen (H) to form water (H2O)
which returns to the air.

Natural Breathable AirAsthma and allergy sufferers understand the importance of clean air. Animal dander, pollen and many other airborne contaminants cause and exacerbate allergies, particularly in the home. With more of our time spent indoors, reducing these substances from the air around us is important because they can impact upon our wellbeing. Sharp’s Air Purifiers use Plasmacluster technology to help inactivate harmful airborne substances and make our living environment cleaner and healthier.
Sharp’s range of Plasmacluster Air Purifiers help to provide a quick and powerful cleansing effect for an entire room, by removing or deactivating a range of airborne allergens and other substances providing clean, safe air quality in the home.
GLP* compliant test facilities have gathered safety data on Sharp’s Plasmacluster technology after testing for;
– Skin irritation/corrosion – Eye irritation/corrosion – Inhalation toxicity (lung tissue genetic impact assessment)
* Tested by: Mitsubishi Chemical Safety Institute GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) is a system of management controls for test facilities and test procedures designed to ensure the reliability of chemical safety assessment tests.
Proven at 24 Institutions in Japan and around the world. Validation data for Plasmacluster Ion generating devices have been gathered by the institutions referred to below*.
* Tests conducted in laboratory conditions using various Plasmacluster Ion densities of up to 50,000 ions/cm³.
Certified WorldwidePlasmacluster — Gaining Trust and New Customers around the WorldTested by 24 Institutes and Organisations
The effectiveness of Plasmacluster Ions is being proven worldwide
Note: In collaboration with research organizations, Sharp has proven the efficacy of Plasmacluster Ions against 29 types of harmful substances (viruses, allergens, mould fungi, and bacteria) as well as their efficacy and working mechanism in neutralizing four types of odours and in beautifying skin.
• This is supporting scientific data for Plasmacluster Ion generator.• Please note that Sharp does not guarantee that test results can be replicated in actual user situations.• The feature varies upon models/regions• Plasmacluster’s effectiveness will vary depending on the ion density and product.
• Removal of clinging odours
Plasmacluster ions break down and remove odour components that have seeped into room furnishings.
• Removal of Static Electricity
Plasmacluster Ions reduce static electricity, preventing pollen and airborne dust from clinging to curtains, clothing and other surfaces.
• Keep Skin Moisture, Elasticity and Texture
Preserve skin moisture as the water molecules that surround the Plasmacluster Ions adhere to the surface of the skin and form a water molecule coating. The effectiveness will vary based on season, temperature, humidity and skin types.
FUY30JWBreathe easy with the benefit of Plasmacluster Ion technology and the two-in-one filtration system.
Filtration systemThe two-in-one air filter joins benefits of a HEPA*1 and an Active Carbon filter in one simple and cost effective solution. The Mesh pre-filter helps prevent dust and dirt particles from clogging the main filter ensuring it’s long use.
Unique Airflow PerformanceThe long and wide emission nozzle at a 20º angle provides the benefit of a faster airflow and efficient intake, enabling quick removal of dust and particles including removal in lower levels of the room for more effective cleaning.

FUA80JWWith the ability to decrease odours and reduce dust, pollen and mould for a room of up to 62m² floor size at the maximum fan speed using Sharp’s innovative filtration system and Plasmacluster Ion technology, this allows you to manage the air quality in your home, helping to protect you and your family from the affects of allergens and airborne substances.
Dust Sensor and Clean SignThe in-built Dust Sensor automatically monitors the dust pollution levels in the air. This is indicated on the Clean Sign lighting which shows if the air quality in the room is clean or impure.
Quick CleanSelecting the Quick Clean mode enables the Air Purifier to operate at HIGH fan speed for 15 minutes before returning to the prior operation setting. This mode allows for a quick and effective clean.
Dual Active and Passive Air PurificationUsing both Active and Passive forms of Air Purification not only will filter indoor dusts using the filtration system, but also inactivate airborne microbes at the same time with Sharps Plasmacluster Ions being dispersed into the air.

KCA50JW / KCA60JWSharp Air Purifiers with Humidifier
Water tank
KCA50JW / KCA60JWCombining Air Purification and Humidification is more efficient and effective as the water particles bind to the Plasmacluster Ions.
With the added benefits of the humidification function, the KCA50JW and KCA60JW has a temperature and humidity sensor which automatically detects and adjusts the humidity according to the changes in room temperature.
The recommended humidity level is between 40% to 60%. When the humidity is at this level, growth and activation of viruses and bacteria is reduced. Other benefits include protecting the nose, throat & skin as well as suppressing mould growth and reducing the effects for Asthma and Allergy sufferers.
Benefits of HumidificationThe ideal humidity level in your home is between 40% and 60%. When your humidity is too low or too high, you may unintentionally encourage bacteria, virus, mould and dust mite growth.
When the humidity is at the ideal level, growth and activation is reduced as well as reducing triggers for Asthma and Allergy sufferers. Additional benefits include helping to relieve the effects of a dry throat, eyes and skin.
The rotating filter releases an evenly airflow of superfine mist, leaving floors dry and surfaces residue-free, making the room fresher and cleaner.
