Applications
Ionphase™ PE0108M is designed to be used in general extrusion applications with polyolefins.Ionphase™ PE0108M has some food contact approvals depending on geographical region, please contact your sales representative for more detail. Examples of end applications are electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected films and bags, FIBC and octabin liners, protective films and polyolefin sheets.

Mode of action
Ionphase™ PE0108M 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

• Food contact compliant material according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011

Recommended Polymers

• Polyolefins

Guidelines for use
Ionphase™ PE0108M is normally at 180-240°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™ PE0108M. The required loading of Ionphase™ PE0108M will depend on the host polymer, processing method and the targeted level of static dissipation.
