Ionic Anti-static Agent Anti-static Agent

Ionic Anti-static Agent GCASTAT® IC-1 Series

Liquid ionic anti-static agent that solves the dust, contamination, color limits and migration issues of carbon black, CNT and surfactants, holding its performance in hot, dry conditions.

  • 0.05–2.0%
  • < 300℃
Product inquiry Back to list

GCASTAT® IC-1 Series is an advanced material that can replace conventional anti-static technologies as the electrical and electronics industries evolve. It solves the problems of carbon black, CNT and surfactants: dust, part contamination, barcode reading limits, color limits, hazardous substances, reverse current, breakdown failure, migration, performance loss over time and with humidity, and poor heat resistance.

Key Benefits

  • Excellent anti-static performance (short decay time and half-life)
  • High heat resistance (<300℃)
  • High transparency
  • Anti-yellowing
  • Physical and chemical stability
  • Freedom of coloring

Applications

  • Silicone rubber
  • Urethane rubber
  • TPU (ether / ester)
  • PMMA
  • Nylon 6.6
  • ESD flooring
  • ESD sheet
  • ESD coating
  • ESD film
  • ESD package
  • Carrier tape
  • ESD adhesive
