Non Permanent Chemical Non Permanent Chemical AntistatAntistatMode of Action:
� Low molecular weight chemical species with a non-polar chain and a polar hydrophilic head
� Migrate to the surface of the material, attracts water which lowers RS and allows to dissipate static charges:
BUT:
� Need ambient humidity to be efficient: No effect in dry conditions.
� Need time to migrate and bring antistatic properties: No immediate effect.
� With time additives are wiped away from the surface of the material: No Permanent effect, Static charges will reappear.

Principle of Principle of PebaxPebax ®® Permanent AntistaticPermanent Antistatic� Addition of Pebax® to the Polymer matrix by dry blend, both polymers are mixed during processing,
Example of PEBAX MV 1074 conductive network in PS matrix
Antistatic Pebax® domains forms a Permanent 3D ionic dissipative network within the matrix which allows to dissipate charges along Pebax backbone.
PebaxPebax®® Antistatic PropertiesAntistatic Properties
Pebax® as antistatic additive The world is our inspirationThe world is our inspiration
� Antistatic Pebax® forms a polymer network in the matrix, it doesn’t migrate nor bring any blooming
� Pebax® antistatic effect is immediate and permanent.
� Chemical antistatic agents are very sensitive to relative humidity and are inefficient in dry conditions
� Pebax® antistatic effect is maintained even at low humidity level.
