Product Applications
  • Hostastat® HS 1 pills Zn is incorporated into plastics to reduce the negative effects of electrostatic charge accumulation such as dust attraction, static discharge and splashing printing inks.
  • During the processing of thermoplastics, Hostastat® HS 1 pills Zn acts as a flow promoting lubricant and release agent
  • Hostastat® HS 1 pills Zn is preferably used as an internal antistatic agent for polar plastics, such as PVC and styrenics.
  • Where incorporation into the polymer is not possible, i can be applied externally to the surface of the finished article by spraying or dipping.
  • Therefore it is normally used in the form of a 1% aqueous solution in conjunction with 0.1% of a suitable surface-acting alcohol, such as Mowiol© 10 - 74.
