Anti-Static Modified Compound (PLA/PBAT)

About This Product

A melt-compounded blend of polylactic acid and polybutylene adipate terephthalate with an anti-static modification carried in the compound, supplied as pellets and processed by injection moulding or extrusion. Both base polyesters are insulators in their unmodified state; the modification is what changes the surface behaviour. Static is a functional problem, not a cosmetic one: it attracts dust to a moulded part and it risks discharge damage around electronic assemblies. An insulating polyester picks up charge by contact and separation, at demoulding, on a conveyor or when a bag is opened, and that charge then has no conductive path along which to dissipate. Anti-static modification gives it one: a surface layer that adsorbs moisture from the air and bleeds the charge away over a controllable time. This grade carries an anti-static modification within a biodegradable system. Surface resistivity and how it holds up over time and at different humidities should be confirmed against your requirement, since anti-static performance in polymers is often humidity dependent. Supplied as a raw material for processing on the buyer's own line. We do not produce finished articles. It is used in electronics packaging, dust-sensitive components and cleanroom consumables. Bio Green Chem supplies this anti-static modified compound to specification on polymer base, pellet form, processing route and the surface resistivity you are working to.
