- Typical Properties of the Coating
- long term antistatic finishing for several years with reduction of the surface resistance as far as 105 Ω at standard climatic conditions
- antistatic effect also at very low humidity (< 20%)
- strong adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface resulting in high stability against physical effects such as friction etc. temperature resistant coating
- Fabrics coated with MECOSTAT3/225 comply with the certificate classC for antistaticconductive bags.
- the slip properties of the plastic surfaces are considerably improved by the coating
- MECOSTAT3/225 replaces the additives used until now to a large extent
- no migration into the goods filled, no accumulation during recycling
- striationfree highly transparent coating
- MECOSTAT3/225 is highly productive and therefore keeps down costs of antistatic finishing
- problemfree recycling of coated plastics
- Environmental compatibility
MECOSTAT-3/225 is environment-friendly and easily biodegradable.

- Processing Directions
the following processes are suitable for coating: immersion bath, felt application, roll coating and application by flexographic or gravure printing, spray coating, rotor spraying coating (the appropriate procedures depend on the purpose of application).
If MECOSTAT3/225 is applied on warm plastic surfaces, the surface temperature should not exceed 80 °C
coating quantity: according to the purpose of application between 2 and 5 g per sqm (wet coating amount)
the coated surface must be completely dry before further processing or winding the film (if required, drying with warm air)
MECOSTAT3/225 is supplied as a ready for use solution, the product must not be diluted. Dilution will have a negative effect on the antistatic properties, first of all on the long term antistatic properties and on the adhesion of the antistatic agent to the plastic surface
machine parts which come into contact with MECOSTAT3/225 should be made of corrosion proof materials but not from copper, aluminum and their alloys
a combination of MECOSTAT3/225 with antistatic additives is not recommended because of possible reactions
depending on the application, a corona pretreatment is recommended (e.g. on polyolefines and polystyrene)
due to the large number of applications and processing procedures we would like to point out that corresponding tests have to be performed by the customer to make sure that there will be no incompatibility with the raw materials, additives and the processing procedures the material has to be used undiluted
