MECOSTAT® 3/247
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 finishingof the material remains virtually unaffected by the stretching of the material during thethermoforming process.MECOSTAT-3/247 is based on isopropanol solvent. It is very suitable for the applicationon flexographic and gravure printing systems.

- Processing Directions
the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felting, roller application, application by flexographic or gravure printing (the appropriate processes are; dependent on the particular purpose of application); coating quantity: depending on the application purpose 1.0 to 3.5 g per sqm (wet coating amount); the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film (if required, drying with warm air); MECOSTAT3/247 is delivered as a ready for use solution (no dilution); MECOSTAT3/247 contains isopropyl alcohol, use explosionproof installations; machine parts which come into contact with liquid MECOSTAT3/247 should be made of corrosionproof materials (not of copper, aluminum or alloys of them). The coating is not; corrosive after drying.; a combination of MECOSTAT3/247 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions; depending on the particular application a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g., on some types of polyolefines and partially on 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
