https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives Product Bulletin.pdf
Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheet and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.
This static buildup can then cause the
resulting parts, film or sheet to cling to one another,
or stick to the mold or tool.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/pvc-extrusion-processors-case-study.pdf
THE CHALLENGE
PVC sheet and profile extrusion processors were looking
for ways to hit lower density targets while maintaining
a high-quality cell structure.
The result was lower production
density with fewer voids in the extruded sheet or
profile, leading to higher quality finished goods and
a reduction in scrap rates.
