MECOSTAT® 3/272

• long-term antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 108 Ω 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
• Fabrics coated with MECOSTAT-3/272 comply with the certificate class D for antistatic bags.
• the slip properties of the plastic surfaces are considerably improved by the coating
• MECOSTAT-3/272 replaces the additives used until now to a large extent
• no migration into the goods filled, no accumulation during recycling
• striation-free highly transparent coating
• MECOSTAT-3/272 is highly productive and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic finishing
• problem-free recycling of coated plastics

MECOSTAT-3/272 is environment-friendly and easily biodegradable.

•  mono and multifilaments
•  woven plastics
•  class D certified antistatic bags
•  thermoforming sheets > 1000 µm

• the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion bath, 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-3/272 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C
• coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 4 and 8 g per sqm (wet coating amount)
• the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or coiling the film or fabric (if required, drying with warm air)
• MECOSTAT-3/272 is supplied as a ready for use solution, the product must not be diluted. Dilution will have a negative effect on the antistatic properties, first of all on the long term
• antistatic properties and on the adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface
• machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT-3/272 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
• a combination of MECOSTAT-3/272 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions
• depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. on 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 
• the material has to be used undiluted
