MECOSTAT® 3/336
MECOSTAT-3 surface antistatic agents are highly effective liquid coating materialsfor the antistatic finishing of plastic surfaces as well as for improving slip properties.The coating´s resistance to temperature guarantees that subsequent thermoformingcan be performed without suffering any damage.Furthermore, the antistatic finishing of the material remains virtually unaffected bythe stretching of the material during the thermoforming process.

- Processing Directions
the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felting, roller application, application by flexographic or gravure printing, spraying spray, rotor spraying coating (the; appropriate processes are dependent on the particular purpose of application); the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film (if required, drying with warm air); coating quantity: depending on the application purpose 1.0 to 3.5 g per sqm (wet coating amount, of the diluted solution); MECOSTAT3/336 is a highly concentrated antistatic agent, it has to be diluted with isopropyl alcohol or demineralised water (1 part of MECOSTAT3/336, 1030 parts of isopropyl alcohol or demineralised water); machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT3/336 should be made of corrosionproof materials (not of copper, aluminum or alloys of them); a combination of MECOSTAT3/336 with antistatic or antiblocking agents is not recommended because of possible reactions; depending on the particular application a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. on polyolefines and polystyrene); for detailed processing and safety information, please refer to the appropriate safety data sheets; due to the large number of applications and processing procedures we would like to point out that corresponding tests have to be performed by the customer to make sure that there will be no incompatibility with the raw materials, additives and the processing procedures
