PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

OCTOSTAT 50 is an antistaic agent applicable to carpet back coatings. The following features
are importat:
- influence on the foaming capability and foam stability of latex compounds
- high antistatic effect
- viscosity changes of the the latex mixtures are possible
- slight influence on the carpet touch
- minimal influence on resoiling properties
It is generally known that the ultimately achieved conductivity does not only depend on the type
and amount of antistatic agent alone, but also on a number of other factors such as:
- Type of Fibre·
- Article design·
- Type of Latex, filler load and filling material
- Kind and composition of back coating
We suggest to use amounts of 20 to 30 g/m² for the preliminary or bonding coating
