This plant‑based saturated alkyl bis(hydroxyethyl)amine is a non‑ionic migratory antistatic agent tailored for BOPP film manufacturing. Derived from renewable plant‑sourced fatty raw materials, it possesses optimized molecular migration speed to reach the film surface after biaxial stretching and thermal setting. It forms a thin hydrophilic surface layer for static dissipation. It features high thermal stability to withstand the high‑temperature stretching and annealing conditions of BOPP produc
Product DetailsThis non‑ionic antistatic additive is synthesized from plant‑derived saturated fatty feedstock. Its molecular structure contains long saturated alkyl hydrophobic chains and two hydroxyethyl hydrophilic groups. During BOPP extrusion, the additive is mixed with polypropylene resin and passes through high‑temperature extrusion, longitudinal stretching, transverse stretching and subsequent thermal annealing. Under controlled migration kinetics, active molecules slowly travel toward the film surface after the heat‑setting procedure. The hydrophilic hydroxyethyl groups capture trace atmospheric moisture and build a thin hydrophilic conductive layer to dissipate static charges, reducing dust pickup during film winding, slitting and converting operations.
Superior thermal stability constitutes its key advantage for BOPP processes. BOPP production involves sustained high‑temperature thermal treatment. Conventional antistatic amines tend to decompose at processing temperatures, generating volatile contaminants, smoke and causing surface defects. This plant‑based saturated alkyl grade resists thermal decomposition during stretching and annealing. Low‑bloom and no‑oil‑bleed performance prevents thick greasy exudate accumulating on the film surface, which is critical to maintain strong ink adhesion for subsequent flexographic and gravure printing as well as dry lamination procedures.
Similar to other migratory non‑ionic antistatic additives, its antistatic effectiveness is humidity‑dependent, and static‑dissipating efficiency declines under extremely dry workshop conditions. Excessive dosage will accelerate surface blooming, induce film blocking on rolled BOPP reels and impair printing and lamination bonding strength. Insufficient addition results in unsatisfactory antistatic effect.
The typical recommended dosage ranges from 0.4 wt%‑1.4 wt% based on total PP resin weight. It can be added directly or formulated into antistatic masterbatch prior to BOPP film extrusion. Pre‑production laboratory testing is required to examine thermal resistance during processing, migration rate, surface resistivity, blocking tendency of rolled film, ink printability and lamination peel strength before large‑scale BOPP manufacturing.
Store the solid or flake antistatic product in tightly sealed moisture‑proof bags inside cool, dry and well‑ventilated warehouse. Avoid long‑term storage under elevated ambient temperature which may cause partial caking. Prevent direct sunlight. Reseal packaging immediately after opening to preserve product quality.
