Antistatic/Anti-Fog/Dispersing Agent
What is an antistatic agent?
Plastic materials are used in a variety of fields due to their moldability and light weight. However, plastic materials are highly insulating and easily become charged with static electricity due to friction, which causes various problems such as absorbing fine dust and dirt in the air and impairing the aesthetics and commercial value of the product. Therefore, adding an antistatic agent can prevent electrical interference and maintain the aesthetics of the product while still providing its effectiveness. There are also various ways to add the agent, such as kneading it into the resin before molding, or applying it to the surface of a synthetic resin product after it has already been molded, so it can be flexibly used in a variety of processing methods.

What is an anti-fog agent?
Plastic films are used in a variety of fields, including food packaging, industrial materials, industrial, medical, and agricultural use, as typified by the "wrap film" that is used daily in ordinary households. When moisture adheres to the surface of this film, countless fine water droplets adhere to it, causing it to lose transparency (become cloudy). In the case of packaging containers such as wrap film, these water droplets make it difficult to see the contents, and in the case of agricultural vinyl greenhouse films, they block sunlight and have a negative effect on the growth of agricultural crops. However, by using an anti-fog agent, the water droplets can be made into a uniform film to ensure transparency, allowing various synthetic resin film products to perform to their maximum potential. The main anti-fog treatment methods are surface application or kneading of anti-fog agents, or chemical and physical treatment. The general method is kneading (compounding), and various other processing methods can be used.
