Antistatic
Including high performance concentrates, offer a solution to problems related to the built-up of electric charges on plastic material.
Once added to the polymer during the extrusion process, our antistatic additives migrate to the surface giving the required effect.
Dust attraction upon storage of plastic materials is a well-known phenomenon. Doing your shopping in a supermarket or household store, which article would you choose? The dusty bottle or the bright and shiny one, probably containing antistatic additives.
However, the need for antistatic additives does not stop with aesthetic aspects. In many industrial applications antistatic properties are needed to prevent electric discharge during filling or loading of plastic packaging, which can initiate fires or dust explosions. During processing they prevent fouling, packaging film defects caused by sparks and improve release of injection or blow molded articles.
Dosing liquid or paste-form antistatic additives can be a challenge. That’s why we offer high performance concentrates. They reduce cleaning time of dosing systems and minimize waste while giving all the advantage of our antistatic additives.
Fast antistatic action, long lasting antistatic properties, solid or liquid products, or cost efficient, easy to dose high concentrate solutions; whatever your requirements, we offer the produ Antistatic agents are added to polymers to minimize the build-up of static electricity/electric charge in plastic materials. Building up static charges on the plastic surface hampers the processing procedures and can be an issue for hygiene and aesthetics.
Antistatic agents can be external and internal. With external antistatic agents, the plastic is coated by spraying or via immersion while internal antistatic agents are incorporated into the polymer matrix and then migrate to the surface. Some conductive fillers can also be used as antistatic agents. The family tree of antistatic agents includes fatty acid esters, ethoxylated amines, quaternary ammonium compounds, alkylsulfonates, and alkylphosphates. ct to match.
