    Due to their chemical constitution, most plastics are very good electrical insulating materials, i.e. their electrical conductivity is exceptionally low. Because of this important property, many plastics are used as insulating materials in the electrical industry. The high electrical resistivity however, leads to an undesired property, namely that the material is prone to accumulating electrostatic charges. To facilitate dissipation of the charge, antistatic agents are incorporated which, in combination with atmos pheric humidity, form a conductive film on the plastic surface. A vital requirement for the effectiveness of an antistatic agent is limited compatibility (solubility) with the polymer concerned and controlled mobility (rate of diffusion) in the matrix. For polymers with a low glass transition temperature (e.g. polyolefins), continuous migration of the antistatic agent is important to achieve an antistatic effect, whereas with polymers which have a glass transition range considerably above ambient temperature (e.g. PVC, ABS and PS), the compatibi lity at the moment of cooling is the decisive factor. The antistatic agents mentioned are added to plastics before or during processing. In many plastics they migrate continuously to the surface, where a deposit of the material can take place often even if they are frequently re moved from the surface. Possible interactions with the polymer must be borne in mind when choosing the antistatic additive (lubrication, haze, effects on thermal stability). Depending on the applications the antistatic effect reaches its optimum level either im mediately (calendered film) or after a period of time (injection moulding, extrusion). To achieve an adequate antistatic effect, it is necessary to have a certain level of humidity so that the required moisture film can be formed at the surface (as mentioned previously).

  • 7PVC

    When processing semirigid and flex ible calendered PVC film, Hostastat FE 20 is the preferred additive. It can also be used as an antistatic agent for the production of plasticized injection mouldings and ex trudates. It acts as an internal lubricant and does notcause hazing at usual addition levels of 1 phr to 2 phr 1). Since Hostastat HS 1 causes hazing with PVC in the typical quantity used of 1 phr to 1.5 phr, its prime use is in opaque rigid PVC calendered films. Its strong external lubricating effect must be taken into account during formulation. To minimize the clouding effect of Hostastat HS 1 it can be used in combination, e. g. 0.3 phr Hostastat HS 1 with 1.0 phr Hostastat FE 20. For injection mouldings and extrudates made of rigid PVC, internal antistatic agents are less suitable (at usual addition rates < 2 phr). In this case, we recommend an external treatment with an approx. 1% aqueous solution of Hostastat HS 1 2) pills. As far as possible with the production process, good antistatic effects can also be achieved by addition rates of more than 2 phr of Hostastat HS 1 (as an internal antistatic agent).

    Hostastat FE 2 is also used for pro cessing rigid PVC because of its effectiveness as internal lubricant in combination with montan waxes. Diagrams 14 give an indication of the antistatic effectiveness of Hostastat HS 1 and Hostastat FE 20 in PVC.

    Polyolefins

    For antistatic finishing of PELD, PEHD, and PP Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 and Hostastat FA 38 are the most suitable products. In general, addition levels of Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 are 0.10.15 phr. If Hostastat FA 14 or FA 24 are drum tumbled with polyolefin granules, they may additionally act as an adhesion promoter for other powdered additives. Apart from the antistatic effect, Hostastat FA 38 acts as a processing aid when manufacturing particularly thin PEHD films and biaxially orien tated PP films (BOPP). In this connection it needs to be considered that, like with ethoxylated amines in general, an impact on printability and sealability might take place, generally, the dosage of Hostastat FA 38 ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 phr.

    Direct incorporation of Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 in polyolefin melts by processing can lead to problems of dis persion of the antistatic agent.

    Therefore, Clariant offers a range of granulated systems in which the active ingredient has been predis persed in a suitable carrier. Figures 5 15 illustrate the efficiency of Hostastat FA 14, FA 24, FA 38 and FA 68 in PELD, PEHD and PP. In addition to these products, Clariant offers Hostastat FE 1 and FE 2 for antistatic finishing of polyolefins. Because of its higher dosage of 0.5 phr to 2 phr, the pure additive can be incorporated into the polymer, thus receiving sufficient dispersion (see figures 16 and 17). In cases where an especially effective antistatic finishing is required, a syner gistic combination of Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 and Hostastat FE 1 or FE 2 is recommended (as shown in figure 18).

    For certain PP polymerization processes Hostastat FA14, FA 24 or FA 68 are added in situ to avoid agglomeration of fines whilst shut down or startup. Addition rates are from 200300 ppm.

    1) = phr: parts per hundred resin

    2) = In order to achieve homogeneous surface coating, the additional use of flow control agents based on polyvinyl alcohol is recommended. We are pleased to assist our customers in selecting the appropriate agent.

    Polystyrene and ABs

    Hostastat HS 1 is the preferred antistatic agent for poly styrene (PS and PSHI). The dosage level is 1.5 to 2.5 phr. These addition levels lead to a reduction in transparency of general purpose PS. Therefore, the application should be limited to opaque articles. Furthermore, Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 and Hostastat FE 20 can be used in polystyrene, the addition rates are 0.5 to 1.0 phr (Hostastat FA 14, FA 24, FA 68) or 1.0 to 2.0 phr (Hostastat FE 20), e.g. if liquid coloring agents are involved.

    For styrene co and graftpolymers, such as ABS, either Hostastat HS 1 with addition levels of 2.0 to 3.0 phr or Hostastat FA 14, FA 24 or FA 68 at 0.5 to 1.0 phr is incorporated.

    Diagrams 1924 give a few examples of the antistatic effect of Hostastat HS 1 in polystyrene, high impact polystyrene and ABS.

    safety data

    toxicological properties

    The acute oral toxicity (LD50) values are as follows:

    Hostastat HS 1 5002000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FE 1 > 2000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FE 2 > 2000 mg/kg (mouse) Hostastat FE 20 > 2000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FA 14 5002000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FA 24 5002000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FA 68 > 2000 mg/kg (rat) Hostastat FA 38 > 2000 mg/kg (rat)

    Because of their alkaline nature Hostastat FA 14, FA 24, FA 68 and Hostastat FA 38 are strong irritants and particularly strong mucous membrane irritants. As for handling these materials, the usual precautions must therefore be taken to avoid contact with such substances (gloves, goggles).

    ecological properties

    If handled correctly, Hostastat FE 1, FE 2 and Hostastat FE 20 present no problems in waste water disposal. Mechanical separation in water treatment plants is possible. The other Hostastat grades must not be discharged into waste water, as they have a fish toxicity of 0.1 mg to 10 mg/l. The COD eliminability (static test) is between 20652600mg/g CSB value.

    Status according to the German federal regula tions on hazardous substancesHostastat FE 1, FE 2 and Hostastat FE 20 are not dangerous substances within the definition of these regulations. Hostastat FA14 and FA 24 are defined as corrosive, (C) and environmentally ha z ard ous, (N) and should be marked with warning label R 22, R 34, R 41, R 50/53 for FA 14 and R 22, 34, 50 for FA 24. Hostastat FA 68 and Hostastat FA 38 are defined as irritant, (Xi) and environmentally hazardous, (N) and require warning label R 38, R 41, R 50/53. Hostastat HS 1 needs the labelling corrosive, (C) and warning label R 22, R 34. For further information please see safety data sheet.

    Position under food regulationsOur antistatic agents comply with numerous regulations as shown in the table position under food regulations. For details of national recommendations, guidelines and regulations on addition and migration limits, the relevant official publications should be referred to.

    storage When transporting or storing Hostastat FA 14 and FA 24 below solidifi cation point ( 5 C) flocculation can occur. This can be eliminated by gentle warming and homogenization (stirring up) and does not impair the product quality.

    The products should be stored dry and at room temperature. Because of the hygroscopic nature of the products it is essential that package and storage containers are tightly closed at all times. As far as Hostastat FA 38 is concerned, lump formation may occur under disadvantageous storage conditions. When obeying the above mentioned instructions, the closed units can be stored for at least 6 months.
