On September 1, Sharp will release a portable Plasmacluster ion generator, the IG-CM1.
This model has a lithium ion battery as well as a USB connector, so it can be used in the office and while traveling.
Plasmacluster technology, which is unique to Sharp, breaks down and removes the proteins on the surface of allergens, viruses, and molds. The first product using this technology was released in 2000. Now a decade has passed, and this year's compact model weighs just 150 g, making it easy to carry around.
"When we surveyed working women, we found that people in their 30s were greatly bothered by the dryness of offices. Some women said that by five o'clock, their face felt really de-moisturized and taut. As dry air leads to dry skin, we think that Plasmacluster technology, which keeps the skin moist and beautiful, can be a big help to working women."
This product emits Plasmacluster ions at a density of 25,000 per cubic centimeter, up to about 80 cm in front of the nozzle. The angle of the stand can be varied to suit different locations, ensuring that the ions reach the user effectively.
"Regarding the ion density, we've always expressed that as the number present in an enclosed space. With this product, the goal is to achieve a high ion density of 25,000 just where the user is. So it's used entirely in a one-point fashion. But as this device can be carried anywhere, it can provide a high ion density around you wherever you are."
Sharp aims to manufacture 30,000 units per month. The IG-CM1 is expected to retail for 13,000 yen.
