- Processing Directions
the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion bath, felt application, roll coating and application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotor spraying coating (the appropriate procedures depend on the purpose of application). If MECOSTAT3/225 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 2 and 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) MECOSTAT3/225 is supplied as a ready for use solution, the product must not be diluted. Dilution will have a negative effect on the antistatic properties, first of all on the long term antistatic properties and on the adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT3/225 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys a combination of MECOSTAT3/225 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. on 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 the material has to be used undiluted
