MKEY Antistatic Additives are excellent quality Antistatic Masterbatch. It is recommended for films application due to its excellent transparency and outstanding Antistatic properties even at lower relative humidity, reducing dust contamination and enhances glossiness of end product.
Antistatic Masterbatch generally these additives work by migrating to the surface of the polymer, usually in a molecular or multi-molecular layer, and attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. The water lowers the surface resistivity from the approximate value of 1014 – 1015 ohms for most polymers (including styrenics and polyolefinics) to 1011- 108 ohms.
Antistatic Master Batch is incorporated into the polymer during the extrusion process. Upon extrusion, the additive Master Batch migrates to the surface of the film because of its definite incompatibility with the polymer. Then it builds up a uniform layer on the film / product surface and prevents the building up of static electricity. It also reduces surface resistivity by migrating to the surface and absorbing moisture from the air. Using Antistatic Master Batch will reduce or even eliminate the problems caused by high surface resistivity These problems include:
• Increase handling problems during transport, storage and packing.
• Dust contamination, affecting both, appearance and performance of end products.
• Risk of electrical shocks to employees working at the machines.
• Risk of electrical discharge causing fire or explosion.
