Product Applications
  • Hostastat® 154 is an effective non-ionic antistatic agent for polyolefins.
  • It reduces the surface resistivity and static decay times in extruded and molded parts from LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE and PP.
  • Hostastat® 154 is mainly used for applications where short static decay times in low humidity conditions have to be met (e.g. PE film for electronics packaging).

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Antistats such as ethoxylated coco or tallow amines show a higher degree of corrosivity, lower compatibility with Polycarbonate, and are more volatile at high processing temperatures.
  • To reduce fume formation and esterification, processing temperatures of 450° F should not be exceeded.
  • Due to the hygroscopic nature of antistatic agents, all Hostastat® grades should be stored in a dry area.
  • Open bags need to be closed and polyolefin/ antistat blends should be protected from moisture and processed as soon as possible.
