Antistatic agents can be added to polymers to minimize the natural tendency of most plastics to accumulate static charges.Antistatics are based mainly based on migratory additive systems, which can give fast and long term stable antistatic properties.Migratory additives rely upon the presence of atmospheric humidity to give optimum performance. Anti-static masterbatches aim to neutralize the charges on the surface of the polymer and eliminates these problems. Anti-static Masterbatch functions by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere.
Advantages:
- Low dosage
- Cost effective
- Reduces static charge buildup
- Less dust collection
