MECOSTAT® 3/147

• long term antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 2*108 Ω at standard climatic conditions
• antistatic effect also at very low humidity (< 30%)
• strong adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface resulting in high stability against physical effects such as friction etc.
• the coating is temperature resistant resulting 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 improved considerably by the coating, therefore improving the stackability of thermoformed parts
• MECOSTAT-3/147 replaces the antistatic additives used to date resulting in no migration in to the packed material, no accumulation during recycling
• reduction in costs
• striation-free highly transparent coating
• usable in the packing industry for foodstuffs according to EC-Directives
• MECOSTAT-3/147 is high yielding and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic finishing
• unproblematic recycling of the coated plastics

Antiblocking and Antistatic finishing of

• films, sheets, profiles and thermoformed parts of all types (100 1000 µm)
• films for transparent packaging

• the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felting, roller application, application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotor spraying coating (the appropriate processes are dependent on the application purpose)
• If MECOSTAT-3/147 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C.
• coating quantity: 0.8 to 3.5 g per sqm (wet coating amount) the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film (if required, drying with warm air)
• MECOSTAT-3/147 surface antistatic agent is supplied as a ready for use solution
• machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT-3/147 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
• a combination of MECOSTAT-3/147 with antistatic / anti-blocking agents (e.g. silicon derivates) is not recommended because of possible reactions
• depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. polyolefines and polystyrene )
• 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
