- Typical Properties of the Coating
- long-term antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 108 - 109 Ω at standard climatic conditions
- strong adhesion of the coating agent to the plastic surface resulting in high stability against physical effects such as friction etc.
- temperature resistant coating resulting 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
- the blocking tendency of PET sheet is neutralized to a large extent
- with the application of MECOSTAT-3/26 the use of additives is largely unnecessary, and therefore surely guaranteed food authenticity (no migration into the liquid filled) and less costs
- highly transparent coating
- MECOSTAT-3/26 is highly productive and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic / antiblocking finishing
- usable in the packing industry for foodstuffs according to EC-Directives

Antiblocking / antistatic finishing of
- highly blocking plastics as PET, PBT etc.
- thermoforming sheets
- other sheets, panels
- molded, injection molded and hollow bodied parts
- fabrics, monoand multifilaments
- Processing Directions
- the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion, felt application, roll coating and application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotor spraying coating (the
- appropriate procedures depend on the purpose of application). If MECOSTAT-3/26 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C
- coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 1.0 and 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-3/26 is supplied as a ready for use solution
- machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT-3/26 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
- a combination of MECOSTAT-3/26 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions
- this type of material is not suitable for sheets which will be printed, sealed, welded or bonded, please contact us for the recommendation of another type of material
- 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
