Anti-static agents are used to either manage static charges during various stages of processing or to provide long-term static protection based on end-use applications.
Anti-static agents can be divided according to their application into two groups: external and internal antistatic agents.
Qualistat® range of short and medium-term anti-static additives are also known as migrating anti-static additives. They are used in applications where anti-static performance is required for up to 12 months. They can be added to plastics as a masterbatch, during compounding or directly during extrusion to reduce electrostatic attraction in polymers.
Qualistat® range of additives are recommended for use in Polyolefins (PP, PE), ABS, PVC and PET etc. In addition to anti-static property, they provide excellent lustre to substrate, smooth surface finish with minimized dust accumulation.
