Applications
Armostat® 1800 is a vegetable based saturated alkyl(C16-C18)bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. Armostat® 1800 is an internal antistatic additive that can be used in various polymers such as PE, LLDPE, PP, SAN and ABS. Armostat® 1800 gives sustained antistatic action and has due to its saturated alkyl chain excellent thermal stability. This makes Armostat® 1800 especially suitable for those applications needing higher processing temperatures. Armostat® 1800 is a solid at ambient temperatures. When heated at 60-65°C Armostat® 1800 can be dosed as a liquid directly into the polymer by using a single or twin-screw extruder. Pigment or color concentrates should be mixed with the antistatic agent prior to extruding. Premixing ensures uniform distribution of Armostat® 1800 in the resin while Armostat® 1800 acts as a dispersion aid to the pigment color concentrate.
