Polymer Additives
What Are Short and Medium/ Long Anti-static Additives?
Short and medium/ long term anti-static additives can also be known as migrating anti-static additives and are sold under the Atmer brand name. They can be added to plastics as a masterbatch or compounding or directly during extrusion to reduce electrostatic attraction in polymers.
How do Migrating Anti-static Additives Work?
Short and medium/ long term additives work by migrating through the polymer matrix towards to surface as it cools. At the surface they pick up moisture from the atmosphere, resulting in reduce static build up in the plastic.
