Antistatic Additives Market

Polymers can accumulate static charge on their surface as they move through shear inducing production equipment. This positive or negative static buildup can hinder production operations and degrade final part performance for its intended use. From an operational perspective, the static charge can cause parts to stick together or stick to molds, and might provide an unwelcome shock to workers. From a functional performance perspective, static charge can remain in plastics long after production, which can enable an unwanted conduit for charge movement in the final part, for example, electronic equipment, or diminish part aesthetics as dust collects on displayed items due to static electricity. Antistatic additive concentrates can be added directly to the polymer to control static charge. The antistatic ingredients migrate to the surface (“bloom”) in order to absorb and ionize moisture from the air and form a conductive path for charges to dissipate. Typical antistatic chemistries therefore should contain a hydrophobic end to remain part of the polymer surface and a hydrophilic polar end available at that surface that absorbs the water molecules.
