40390

40390 by Ampacet is a GMS based antistat masterbatch of migratory nature containing effective substance in PP carrier resin. It gives a short term antistatic effect and depends on water for functioning. Hence the antistatic performance is always better at higher humidity as well as usually improves with conditioning time. It requires a very long time to diffuse out of HDPE or PP homopolymer. It tends to react with polycarbonate, which is commonly used in making electronic circuit boards. Hence a plastic packaging containing amine antistat is detrimental to electronic circuit boards. 40390 has the FDA approval for all the levels.
