MECOSTAT® 3/232
MECOSTAT-3/232 is a highly effective liquid coating material for the antiblocking and antistaticfinishing of plastic surfaces as well as for improving slip properties.The coating´s resistance to temperature ensures that subsequent thermoforming can beperformed without suffering any damage. Furthermore, the antistatic and antiblocking finishing ofthe material remains virtually unaffected by the stretching of the film during the thermoforming process.

- Processing Directions
the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felting, roller application, application by flexographic or gravure printing spray coating, rotor spraying coating (the appropriate processes depend on the application purpose); coating quantity: 1.0 to 3.5 g per sqm (wet coating amount); If MECOSTAT-3/232 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C; the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the sheet (if required, drying with warm air); depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. polyolefines and polystyrene); MECOSTAT-3/232 coating agent is supplied as ready for use solution; machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT-3/232 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys; a combination of MECOSTAT-3/232 with antistatic / antiblocking agents (e.g. silicon derivates) is not recommended because of possible reactions; 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
