Antistat concentrate based on Ethoxylated tertiary
amine in a LDPE carrier. Available in pelletized form in 50 lb. bags.
Regulatory Information:
The active ingredient is ethoxylated tertiary amine.
PolyStat 3KI meets FDA, Title 21, §178.3130(b) requirements for
polyolefins at use levels of 0.2% by weight (0.1% of active antistatic
agent) of polyolefin food contact films. Additionally, PolyStat 3KI
is permitted under 21 CFR, §178.3130(b) "For use only as
an antistatic agent at levels not to exceed 0.30% by weight in molded
or extruded PE containers that contact food only of the types identified
in 21 CFR, §176.170(c), Table 1, under Types 1, IV-B, VI-B, VII-B,
VIII, under the conditions of use E through G described in table 2
of 21 CFR, §176.170(c), provided such foods have a pH above 5.0."
Applications:
PolyStat 3KI is an effective antistat for low-density
polyethylene film and sheet. It reduces the surface resistivity and
static decay in extruded films and molded parts from PE.
Use Level Recommendations:
Typical use levels to range from 0.20 to 0.50% by
weight of film and sheet grade PE resin. For injection or blow- molded
articles, the recommended level is 0.3%. Due to the hygroscopic nature
of antistatic agents, all Polystat grades should be stored in a dry
area. Open bags need to be closed and polyolefin/antistat blends should
be protected from moisture and processed as soon as possible.
