Antistatic agent in the world will have a wide range of applications

Antistatic agent market in North America is expected to 2004 years ago, the average annual growth rate of about 4%, to use point of view, most of the use of electronic appliances and on food packaging materials. The terms of the types from the antistatic agent, ethylamine class multi-use polyolefin, as electronic equipment packaging; while quaternary ammonium compounds are often used in PVC, such as industrial conveyor belts, disk packaging and bottles, etc.; fatty acid esters are more use of internal antistatic polyolefin use. European antistatic agent market will have an estimated annual growth rate of 2.5%, on purpose, mainly used in polystyrene, ABS and other styrenic polymer processing, due to add antistatic agent usually has a lubricating efficacy, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish with a lubricant. In Japan, an antistatic agent mainly of 0.1% to 0.2% of the concentration of mixed plastic being, as accurate as the mixing amount of the product on the type of polymer, wherein the polypropylene is the most frequently used products antistatic agent , followed by PVC and ABS. Antistatic agents throughout the Japanese usage rate is expected in 2003 nonionic / cationic antistatic agent used about 5,000 tons, the future will also be about 1% growth rate continues to grow.

The terms of the types of antistatic agents, polymer-type antistatic agent is the most promising permanent products, particularly the use in precision machinery is the growth of popular expectations. This is due to household appliances, electronic equipment used by the electronic circuit, when the electrostatic accumulation is excessive, Character LCD Modules poor contact may occur the situation, hence, have to prevent excessive accumulation of static electricity in this high-performance anti-
Static agent needs to be quite optimistic about the future. But so far the use of more surfactant adsorbed on the plastic surface moisture in the air to produce the effect of preventing static electricity, but because of vaporization, surface cleaning and other reasons, often making antistatic effect disappears or is contaminated, then the high dependence on humidity, in the case of drying effect is poor, so non-surfactant polymer products become better product.

Molding a polymeric antistatic agent is dispersed in the resin play a fixed effect, OLED Display and the low-molecular type (surfactant system), compared, and show a direct effect after molding, is not volatile, will not be affected by exposure contamination after cleaning effect is not reduced, etc., but the drawback is that only low-molecular type antistatic agent than the added quantity.

Currently polymeric permanent antistatic agent, compared with a surfactant system, it is still high-priced products, the manufacturers themselves without a permanent antistatic agent technology, inevitable costs will be relatively enhanced. At present, because of both the price, there are still considerable differences, there is currently a permanent antistatic agent penetration is still low, but the future along with the IT market needs and future expansion of the market, as well as other incentives under falling prices, have helped in the product market expansion.
