Applications
Ionphase™ fSTAT2 HF is a static dissipative, polymeric polymer additive. It is designed to be used in general extrusion and injection molding applications with high melt flow polyolefins. Examples of end applications include stretch films and articles molded from SEBS compounds.

Mode of action
Ionphase™ fSTAT2 HF is a static dissipative, polymeric polymer additive commonly known as a permanent anti-static additive. These additives are used to control static electricity in plastics. This works by forming an interpenetrated network within the host polymer reducing the resistivity of the blend.

Benefits

• Permanent non-migrating anti-stat

• Not humidity dependent

• Static dissipative

• Gives control and safety for static electricity caused issues

• Lowers the surface resistivity

• Improves the non-charging properties

• Reduces charge decay time

• No halogens, RoHS approved

• Recyclable

• Ready to use and compatible with host polymer

Recommended Polymers

• High melt flow polyolefins

• SEBS compounds

Guidelines for use
Ionphase™ fSTAT2 HF is normally processed at 180-280 °C. Actual processing temperatures will usually be determined by specific equipment or host polymer. We suggest adding the material as an additive during the extrusion process. Use of a barrier type screw with good mixing properties is recommended for good homogeneity of the polymer blend. Stainless steel with nitration, duplex chrome or nickel plating is recommended for screws, barrels, dies and adapters. Low MFI polyethylene is recommended for purging after using Ionphase™ fSTAT2 HF. The required loading of Ionphase™ fSTAT2 HF depends on the host polymer used, processing method and the targeted level of static dissipation.
