MECOSTAT® 3/124

Antistatic / antiblocking finishing of

• films, sheets, profiles and thermoformed parts of all types (films up to 800 µm)
• technical sheets and plates
• molded, injection molded and hollow bodied parts
• fabrics, mono- and multifilaments
• EPS, foam materials

• longterm antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 108 Ω at standard climatic conditions 
• 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 good 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
• MECOSTAT3/124 replaces the additives used until now to a large extent
• no migration into the liquid filled, no accumulation during recycling
• striationfree highly transparent coating
• MECOSTAT3/124 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

• the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felt application, roll coating, and application by flexographic or gravure printing, (the appropriate procedures depend
• on the purpose of application). If MECOSTAT3/124 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 60 °C
• coating quantity : depending on the purpose of application between 0.8 and 3.0 g per sqm (wet coating amount)
• MECOSTAT3/124 contains isopropyl alcohol, use explosionproof installations
• the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film (if required, drying with warm air)
• MECOSTAT3/124 is supplied as a ready for use solution
• machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT3/124 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
• a combination of MECOSTAT3/124 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions
• due to the large number of applications and processing procedures we would like to point out that corresponding tests have to be performed by the customer to make sure that there will be no incompatibility with the raw materials, additives and the processing procedures
