Applications
Armostat 700 is a refined tallow based oleylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, so it is a liquid alternative to Armostat 300. Armostat 700 is an internal antistatic additive that can be used in various polymers such as PE, PP, PS, SAN, ABS and HIPS. Armostat 700 gives sustained antistatic action and is especially effective in injection molding applications. The low melting point allows liquid dosing even at low temperatures. Armostat 700 can be dosed directly into the polymer by using a single or twin-screw extruder. Pigment or color concentrates should be mixed with the antistatic agent prior to extruding. Premixing ensures uniform distribution of Armostat 700 in the resin while Armostat 700 acts as a dispersion aid to the pigment color concentrate.
Semi-permanent, animal-based antistat providing sustained antistatic properties, and especially effective in film applications. Liquid alternative to Armostat 300.
