-Mist Innovations Inc. has
perfected a new disinfectant
delivery system that uses static
electricity to get spray solutions
to cling to all types of surfaces;
much like plastic wrap clings to bowls.
E-Mist uses “electrostatics” to more
effectively apply spray solutions registered
and approved by the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Food and Drug
Administration and the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration, said Christopher
Sides of E-Mist Innovations Inc.
The company recently received an
investment from Cowtown Angels and
named Cowtown Angel member George
Robertson its president and CEO.
Eight Cowtown Angels members put
in a total of $150,000 in a first round of
investment and received additional rights
for the next round
of investment.
