MECOSTAT® 3/11

• long term antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 1*108Ω at standard climatic conditions
• antistatic effect also at very low humidity (< 20%)
• strong adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface resulting in high stability against physical effects such as friction etc.
• temperature resistant coating results in unproblematic thermoforming without impairing the antistatic finishing
• excellent wetting properties on plastic surfaces resulting in excellent antistatic finishing even under difficult thermoforming conditions
• the slip properties of the plastic surfaces are considerably improved by the coating, and therefore improves the stackability of the thermoformed parts
• MECOSTAT3/11 replaces the additives used until now
• no migration into the liquid filled, no accumulation during recycling
• striationfree highly transparent coating
• MECOSTAT3/11 is highly productive and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic finishing
• usable in the packing industry for foodstuffs according to ECDirectives
• problemfree recycling of coated plastics

Antistatic finishing of

• films, sheets, profiles and thermoformed parts of all types (films up to 800 µm)
• packing for food
• molded, injection molded and hollow bodied parts
• mono and multifilaments, threads and fabrics of all kinds
• foam materials and foam packing materials

• the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felt application, rotor sprayingcoating and application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotary coating (the appropriate procedures depend on the purpose of application).
• If MECOSTAT3/11 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should notexceed 80 °C.
• coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 1 and 4 g per sqm (wetcoating amount)
• the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film(if required, drying with warm air)
• no particular safety precautions are required for processing or disposal
• MECOSTAT3/11 is supplied as a ready for use solution
• machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT3/11 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
• a combination of MECOSTAT3/11 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions
• depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. polyolefines and polystyrene)
