Antistatic agent for plastic materials

Hostastat® FE 20

Hostastat FE 20 is a fatty acid ester which provides highly effective internal antistatic properties to thermoplastic polymers.
Benefits
  • Hostastat FE 20 is an antistatic agent based on renewable fatty acids
  • Is show very good effectiveness in PVC and engineering resins
Safety
Hazards
Classification according CLP regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended).
    Skin sensitization, Cat. 1B

Physical Properties
Solidification Point  ≤ 19 °C (66 °F)
Density (at 50 °C) 0.99 g/cm3
Applications
Hostastat FE 20 is an efficient antistatic agent for polar polymers, especially semi-rigid and flexible PVC as well as styrenics. It is added to equalize and reduce static charges on polymers surfaces. Hostastat FE 20 does not cause hazing at usual addition levels of 0,5 to 2 %.

During processing of PVC, Hostastat FE 20 acts as an internal lubricant and processing aid.
