Atmer™ 262

Atmer™ 262 by Cargill acts as an internal and external anti-static additive. It offers excellent heat stability and possesses synergistic benefits with Atmer™ 129. When used internally, it migrates to the surface of the polymer where it interacts with atmospheric moisture, reducing surface resistivity and allowing dissipation of static charge. External application can be achieved by applying the additive to the surface for an immediate but temporary effect. It can be applied by spraying, wet coating or dipping, dependent on the product manufacturing process. Atmer™ 262 is suitable for polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), styrenics (clear & opaque), TPE and PMMA. Typical addition levels as internal additive are 0.1-0.5% in films and 0.5-3.0% in molding applications. As an external additive, it should be dissolved in an appropriate solvent, such as water or alcohol at a concentration level of between 2-5%.
