Polymers are electrically non-conductive, and have a strong tendency to accumulate surface electrostatic charges. Undesired or dangerous effects of the static charge build-up are dust attraction, difficult opening of bags, and possibility of explosion. The addition of Antistatic master batches reduces the surface resistance of the end product and avoids the accumulation of static charge. Anti-Static Additives are added to plastics to reduce or eliminate a static build up. Anti-static additives work by lowering resistivity and are capable of neutralizing the surrounding static field.

According to a study, about 80% of infection diseases start from surface contact. Bacteria and fungi are everywhere in our daily life, the microbe can quickly reproduce with suitable conditions. It may cause contamination, odors and infectious diseases. Anti-Microbial, Anti-Fungal additives will be integrated into the polymer during the manufacturing process to inhibit the growth and provide protection from microbes.

Most polymers go through oxidative degradation processes during manufacturing and subsequent compounding and processing. Oxidation and heat aging are major causes of degradation of plastics. Exposure to heat and oxygen causes a chain reaction involving the formation of free-radicals, which inevitably leads to cleavage of the main chains in the polymer and degradation of the plastic. This is manifested in many difference ways including loss of shine and transparency, yellowing, surface cracking and odors. Oxidation can also result in loss of mechanical properties such as impact resistance, elongation and tensile strength.

Sunlight together with heat and oxygen induces reactions of degradation in plastics, causing detrimental effects on their mechanical, optical and physical properties. The result is breakage, chalking and discoloration. Outdoor weathering results in degradation by exposure to the ultraviolet part of sunlight which reaches the earth’s surface, at wavelengths between 300 and 400 nanometres. Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, oxygen, polluting gasses also play an important role.

Ferrous metals have a high carbon content which generally makes them vulnerable to rust when exposed to moisture. Mechanism: Vapor corrosion inhibitors are substances that slowly release a corrosion preventative compound from plastic films into a sealed air space, effectively protecting exposed metal surfaces. It protects by interrupting the electrochemical corrosion process caused by moisture, oxygen and contaminants in the atmosphere.
