ALX Anti-static Masterbatch is a polymer supplied in small pellets that have anti-static/static dissipative properties. The Masterbatch can be extruded into virtually any form you require, while maintaining a static dissipative range of 10⁹ – 10¹² ohms/sq.

This material is formulated to eliminate the electric charges on the surface of the polymer. Electric charges tend to cause many problems like attracting dust which ruins the clarity of film and surface finishing. Static discharges also damage sensitive electronic equipment.

Our Antistatic additives are used with all polymers in injection molded, extruded and blow molded applications. It functions in molecular or multi-molecular layers and attracts water molecules from the atmosphere. The water lowers the surface resistivity to between 10⁹ to 10¹² ohms. Without antistatic additives, the surface resistivity of plastic would be between 10¹² to 10¹⁵ ohms.

Antistatic masterbatches are used in manufacturing of components for appliances and used in washing machines, refrigerators etc.
These are also used for electronic appliances.

We can also modify the masterbatch to achieve different conductivity ranges
from 10³ to 10⁹ ohms/sq.
