Material Features

• Friction Reduction
• Temperature Resistance

Application Areas

Antistatic treatment of; oriented films (BOPP, BOPET etc.); sheets, plates, profiles; food packing; packing for electronic construction units and devices

Processing Directions

the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felt application, roll coating and application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotary coating(the; appropriate procedures depend on the purpose of application).; coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 2 and 12 g per sqm (wet coating amount), depending on required effect and stretching ratio; before further processing or rolling up the film the coated surface must be completely dry (if required, drying with warm air); MECOSTAT-3/744 is supplied as a ready for use solution; machine parts which come into contact with liquid MECOSTAT-3/744 should be made of corrosion proof materials.; a combination of MECOSTAT-3/744 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions; depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. polyolefines and polystyrene); 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

Typical Properties of the Coating

long term antistatic treatment for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 108 Ω at standard climatic conditions; antistatic effect also at low humidity (< 30%); strong adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface resulting in high stability against physical effects such as friction etc.; temperature resistant coating results in unproblematic thermoforming or stretching without impairing the antistatic finishing; excellent wetting properties on plastic surfaces resulting in good antistatic finishing even under difficult stretching conditions; the slip properties of the plastic surfaces are considerably improved by the coating; no migration into the liquid filled, no accumulation during recycling; striation-free highly transparent coating; MECOSTAT-3/744 is highly productive and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic finishing; usable in the packing industry for foodstuffs according to EC-Directives; problem-free recycling of coated plastics
