                    ANTISTAT 1004T 

 
Antistatic Performance and COF
INTRODUCTION

Polyethylene film is inherently hydrophobic allowing the buildup of static charge. Excessive static causes processing problems as the film is manufactured, and creates dust accumulation problems in its final usage as packaging material. ANTISTAT 1004T improves antistatic and properties for polyethylene film.                  

ADVANTAGES 

  • ANTISTAT 1004T is provided in master batch form to facilitate handling and processing.  
  • Excellent antistatic properties are obtained by using ANTISTAT 1004T. These properties are consistent for a longer period of time compared to competitive products. 
  • ANTISTAT 1004T is thermally stable. 
  • ANTISTAT 1004T does not interfere with transparency, anti-blocking, or other properties of the base resin. 
  • ANTISTAT 1004T is FDA compliant for food packaging. 
  • The ANTISTAT 1004T actives comply fully with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all applicable food additive regulations, including 21 C.F.R. § 177.1520, "Olefin polymers."

PROPERTIES 

Appearance: White chip Base 
Resin:  LLDPE ( d. = 0.920, MI= 2.1 ) 
Additive Contents:  Anti stat agent 12.0% 
Anti-block (silica) 3.0% 

RECOMMENDED USAGE 

The optimum additive loading in the film depends on the specific processing conditions and environment the bag is to be used in, as well as the density and grades of base resin being used to make the in the film. The film producer will need to confirm the optimum loading level through trial-and-error analysis for each film's particular end use. 

Typical loadings for general use: 

Resin

    ANTISTAT 1004T
LDPE (Density less than 0.93)          1 - 2%
LLDPE (Density less than 0.93)           2 - 4%

    

STORAGE AND HANDLING 

The ANTISTAT 1004T is highly hydrophilic, and readily absorbs moisture. The ANTISTAT 1004T should be stored in closed containers in a cool and dry

TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF USE IN BLOWN FILM

  1. Conditions:  

Cylinder Temperature:    150 - 200° C
Die Temperature:  200° C
Blowup Ratio:  2.0

  1. Antistatic Performance Test Procedures Film:

Appearance Visual rating of film
Anti-block Property:  Two strips of film(10 cm x 2 cm) are cut and then horizontally overlapped by 10cm2. They are placed under a weight equal to 20 grams/cm2 and held at 40° C for 48 hours. An Instron test instrument is used to measure the force required to separate the two strips.

Antistatic Property:  The surface resistively is measured under the conditions of 20° C and 65% R.H.

  • For PE films where COF is irrelevant, Antistat 1004T (1.8% active non anti-block) provides superior and consistent AntiStat performance. 

  • For PP films, ANTISTAT 1004T (18% active Antistat, 4.5% anti-block), provides antistatic performance.
