Antistatic Agents - Methods
of minimizing static electricity in plastic materials.
Such agents are of two basic types: (1) metallic devices
which come into contact with the plastics and conduct
the static to earth. Such devices give complete neutralization
at the time, but because they do not modify the surface
of the material it can become prone to further static
during subsequent handling; (2) chemical additives which,
mixed with the compound during processing, give a reasonable
degree of protection to the finished products.
