Anti-static Agents

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.

Selection Guide

Selection of Antistatic Agents for Polymers

Anti-static agents are used to either manage static charges during various stages of processing or to provide long-term static protection based on end-use applications. But, searching the right additive for your product among a variety of them available in the market, could be a daunting task! Get a comprehensive review of important aspects related to antistats and their chemistries along with the factors that influence selection of anti-static agents including their compatibility with various polymers like polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides, fluoropolymers, and more.
