Antistatic Agents
Permanent Antistatics for Plastics Applications
BTC Europes antistatic agents for plastics help to prevent static charging, spark-through and dust attraction during the processing of polymers, as well as in the end article. Irgastat® P products are polymeric systems based on polyamide/polyether block amides. They are incorporated as melt additive. Electric resistivity is reduced by the formation of a conductive percolating network.
Irgastat® P is recommended, where a permanent antistatic effect is sought after which is in applications such as electronic and industrial packaging, housings and parts of business machines. Irgastat® P is used in thermoplastic polymers, transparent films and fiber or molded applications. Outdoor applications require testing to determine the suitability of Irgastat® P under the given UV-exposure conditions. Applications include profiles, sheets, and foamed sheets as well as pipes & fittings, tubes and hoses, sidings and claddings.
