New high performance PE antistatic film developed successfully

According to foreign media reports, a European manufacturer recently successfully applied OCSiAl's TUBALL single-walled carbon nanotubes to produce a high-performance PE antistatic film, compared with pure film, these antistatic PE blow molding The light transmittance of the film is 90%, and the fracture stress in the vertical direction is increased by about 60%, and the permanent conductivity can be maintained.

In general, anti-static bags, FIBC liners, static shielding bags and films, protective tapes, and conductive films are the types of packaging designed to protect certain products and products from electrostatic interference.

However, traditional alternatives have drawbacks. Permanent antistatic additives, such as carbon black, can cause mechanical properties to decline and darkening effects, and migration of antistatic additives can result in non-permanent conductivity under different humidity conditions. Now that single-walled carbon nanotubes can now avoid these problems, single-walled carbon nanotubes can also provide the best value positioning in terms of price, making it an exciting new choice for the industry.

Recently, a European manufacturer successfully applied TBSALL single-walled carbon nanotubes from OCSiAl (Ledlange, Luxembourg) to produce a high performance PE antistatic film with blown film extrusion. forming.

0.01% by weight of TUBALL nanotubes were introduced by easy-to-handle TUBALLMATRIX 810 concentrates with a surface resistivity of 5109 to 1011 Ω/sq, meeting ANSI/ESDS541-2003 and IEC 61340-5-1-2007 standards for preventing static effects of packaging materials. Compared with pure film, these anti-static PE blown films have a light transmittance of 90%, which cannot be achieved with carbon black. In addition, the fracture stress in the vertical direction increases by about 60%, which increases the durability of the PE film. Sex.

These findings demonstrate one of the key features of TUBALL nanotubes, namely that they can create 3D conductive and enhanced networks at very low loads. Compared with other conventional additives, nanotube-formulated films also show promise in terms of thermal stability.

The use of TUBALLMATRIX concentrates eliminates the need for carbon black-related powders or dusts for standard cleaning processes. All of these developments and advantages have encouraged the company to continue testing TUBALL nanotubes and found its potential to produce other antistatic components through polyolefin polymers through a variety of processes including extrusion and injection molding.
