Applications
Ionphase™ eSTAT2 is designed to be using compounding and extrusion applications with polyolefins and styrenics. This can be used in applications such as sheets and trays for electronic components or in PCB and special films.

Mode of action
Ionphase™ eSTAT2 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

Recommended Polymers

• Polyolefins

• Styrenics

Guidelines for use
Ionphase™ eSTAT2 is normally processed at 190-240 °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™ eSTAT2. The required loading of Ionphase™ eSTAT2 depends on the host polymer, processing moethod and the targeted level of static dissipation.
