ANTI STATIC
Anti-static masterbatch is based on fatty acid ester type of anti-static agents to neutralize the charges on the surface of the polymer. By using anti-static additives, Dust pick-up can ruin clarity and surface finish.
Handling problem- e.g., Mutual repulsion of bodies of the same charge in polymer-based packing.
Electronic static discharge damaging electronic equipment.
Anti-static masterbatch in the water lowers the surface resistivity from the approximate value of 1014 – 1015 ohms for most polymers
Anti-static masterbatch are added to plastics product to reduce or eliminate a static build up.Anti-static masterbatch work by lowering the resistivity of a material so that charges are mobile and therefore will not cause static issues such as dust attraction or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
