ANTISTATIC P042/L

STATIC CHARGE IS OF SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WHEN PROCESSING OR HANDLING PLASTIC MATERIALS

DUE TO THE REASON THAT THE PLASTICS DOES NOT DISSIPATE OR EARTH THE CHARGE THEY GAIN
DURING PROCESSING OR HANDLING. THIS LEADS TO STATIC CHARGE BUILD UP. THE COMMON PROBLEMS
MAY BE SPARK FORMATION, DUST PICK UP, STATIC CLING IN A FILM, RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCKS TO
EMPLOESS WORKING ON MACHINES, RISK OF SUDDEN FIRE. THE REASON OF PLASTIC FOR NOT
DISSIPATIING CHARGE IS THE LOW DIELECTRIC CONSTANT AND THE HIGHER SURFACE RESISTIVITY. THE
MAGNITUDE OF CHARGE DEPENDS ON THE DEGREE OF CONTACT, FRICTIONAL PROPERTIES, RELATIVE
HUMIDITY IN THE AIR .PLASTICS IS AT 10 TO POWER OF 15 OHMS AT 20C AND 50% RELATIVE HUMIDITY . TO
DISSIPATE CHARGE THE SURFACE RESISITIVITY SHOULD BE AT 10TO POWER OF OHMS.
TO AVOID THESE THINGS, ANTISTATIC ADDITIVES ARE DEVELOPED.
THESE ANTISTATIC ADDITIVES WHICH ATTRACKS MOISTURE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE FORMS A
MICROSCOPIC CONDUCTIVE LAYERS ON THE PLASTIC PRODUCT WHICH ALLOWS CHARGE TO DISSIPATE.
THESE ADDITIVES ARE MIGRATING TYPE AND THERMALLY STABLE. THIS RESULTS IN THE REDUCTION OF
SURFACE RESISTIVITY IN THE PLASTICS TO AS LOW AS 10 TO POWER OHMS !CONSIDEREDAS E"CELLENT
SURFACE RESISITIVITY# FROM LEVEL OF 10 TO POWER 1$ WHICH IS CON SIDERED AS POOR SURFACE
RESISTIVITY
FOR ACCURATE ADDITION LEVELS IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE USED IN MASTERBATCH FORM.
PERFORMANCE OF THE MASTERBATCH WILL IMPROVE WITH THE INCREASING RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
WHEN MASTERBATCH IS ADDED TO THE POLYMER, THE POLYMER ACTS AS A RESERVOIR OF THIS
ADDITIVE AND THEN IT MIGRATES TO SURFACE.
THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF ANTISTATIC ADDITIVES:
1. %UICK BUILD OF ANTISTATIC EFFECT DURINGTHE PROCESSING. FACILITATES DISCHARGE IMMEDIATELY
OF THE CHARGES. THE ADDITIVE USE DIN THIS IS MONOESTER BASED. THIS IS NOT A LONG TERM EFFECT.
2. LONG LASTING ANTISTATIC PROPERTIES AFTER THE PROCESSING IS DONE. FACILITATES DISCHARGE
DURING THE PACKING AND THE TRANSPORTATION OF THE PACKED PRODUCTS. IN THIS THERE ARE
NORMAL HEAT STABLE PRODUCTS FOR POLYOLEFINS WHICH ARE ETHO"YLATED AMINES AND ALSO HIGH
HEAT STABLE PRODUCTS LIKE ALKYL SULPHONATES FOR ENGINEERING PLASTICS.
EVEN THE SYNERGISTIC BLENDS ARE GIVING THE BEST OF %UICK AND LONG LASTING RESULTS.
