Electrostatic charges are developed on the plastic surface because of its good electrical insulating property. These charges generally developed when surfaces are rubbed with eachother or two very closely contacted surfaces are separated from each other e.g. during mould release, hot forming, removal from extrusion dies, stacking, automatic packaging, etc. These charges creates problem such as dust attraction, fire & explosion hazard, difficulty in mould release, reduction of speed in packaging machine etc.

To overcome these problem M.G. Polyblends has developed Antistatic masterbatch based on a new generation, high activity Nitrogen-free antistat additive. It specifically effective in providing static electricity control in polyolefins. It's efficiency is measured by determining the surface resistivity of the plastic surface in which this masterbatch has been used.
