Introduction of Antistatic Additive for Plastic PE

Permanent antistatic protection for HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE — additive and masterbatch grades

Introduction of Antistatic Additive for Plastic PE

A PE antistatic additive is an ESD additive used in high-density polyethylene (PE). Its main function is to give PE resin permanent antistatic properties. Its composition consists of an antistatic additive and a PE carrier; the antistatic additive is a high-molecular polymer with a specific structure that can form a conductive network in the PE resin.

PE Antistatic Additive Grades

RenJie® supplies several grades of antistatic additive for plastic PE, each matched to a specific resin and application.

80AN — Versatile Grade for HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE

80AN is an antistatic additive for plastic PE which is compatible with HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE. It is a pellet with a pale yellow color and can be colored easily. The transparent grade is available.

300AN — Grade for PE Film

300AN is an antistatic additive for plastic PE film. Its main features are a low melt index and good compatibility with LLDPE resin. After compounding, it forms a conductive layer on the surface of LLDPE film, allowing static charges to be quickly conducted to the ground or other conductive objects, thereby avoiding the accumulation of static electricity.

320AN — Grade for HDPE

320AN is an antistatic additive for plastic designed for HDPE resin. Its main features are high hardness, small addition amount and good compatibility. It is suitable for various HDPE injection molding parts and HDPE sheets.

RenJie® Antistatic Masterbatch 350AN

350AN is an antistatic masterbatch based on an antistatic additive for plastic PE, which uses PE resin as a carrier.

Easy to Use

The unique feature of 350AN is its ease of use. It can be directly injected or extruded after dry mixing with PE resin, with no need for compounding. The compatibilizer itself is formulated in the antistatic masterbatch and has little effect on the performance of the matrix. The antistatic masterbatch can form a discharge layer on the surface of the material, thereby reducing its surface resistivity and allowing the static charge that has been generated to leak quickly. The specific addition ratio is determined according to the requirements of the product’s antistatic performance and processing technology.

Performance and Compatibility

Immediate and long-lasting. The antistatic masterbatch can take effect immediately and provide a long-term antistatic effect.

Non-migrating, low humidity dependence. It does not migrate, and relative humidity has little effect on antistatic performance.

Semi-transparent granular form. 350AN is a semi-transparent granular material. It can produce a transparent antistatic compound when using a small dosage.

Matrix properties retained. It can maintain the mechanical properties of the polymer and has excellent compatibility.

Wide performance window. Extremely effective in providing different performance targets (10⁸–10¹¹ Ω/sq).

Applications of Antistatic Additive for Plastic PE

Permanent antistatic agents for PE are used across the industries where static control is critical.

Electronics Industry

Permanent antistatic agents are used to package electronic components, circuit boards, semiconductor chips and other electrostatically sensitive products, to prevent static electricity from damaging electronic components and ensure their safety and integrity during transportation and storage.

Precision Instrument Industry

Packaging materials made with permanent antistatic agents can effectively prevent static electricity from interfering with instruments and ensure the precision and accuracy of instruments.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industries

Antistatic properties can prevent static electricity from causing dust pollution to medicines and cosmetics and ensure the cleanliness of medicines and cosmetics.

Other Industries

In automotive parts, optical equipment, aerospace equipment and other industries, antistatic materials are also widely used to prevent dangerous incidents caused by static sparks and to meet various static control needs.
