Antistatic Additives These are internal static treatments. The additives are added when producing the materials in order to obtain permanent antistatic properties. ■■

Durable Antistatic additives

Antistatic additives are used in plastics to obtain

by absorbing moisture from the air. The molecules comprise both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. The hydrophilic compounds absorb water molecules from the air causing the material to become conductive.

Antistatic liquid

permanent

antistatic properties. Their role is to make the material conductive

PP, Polypropylene (FILM, INJECTION) STATICONTROL® AS 11: Internal processing of PP ( PP granules). Quality of treatment: 1010/11 ohms/cm (at 50% RH/20° C), suitable for food. Duration: several years in the absence of friction and depending on the dosage. 100% active granules. LDPE FILMS STATICONTROL® AS 15: Internal treatment of LDPE ( low density polyethylene). Quality of treatment: 1010/11 ohms/cm (at 50% RH/20° C), suitable for food. Duration: several years in the absence of friction and depending on the dosage. polypropylene STATICONTROL® MSG STAT 190: Internal processing of PP. Quality of treatment: 1011 ohms/cm (at 50% RH/20° C), suitable for food. Duration: several months less durable but more economical than AS 11.

Unlike the antistatic additives, liquids are sprayed on the surface of the material. The effect varies depending on the materials and type of liquid used. ■■

PLEXIGLAS STATICONTROL ® AS90E10 Antistatic agent is applied on the surface of plexiglass. Quality of treatment: 1010 ohm/cm (at 50% RH/20° C), suitable for food. polystyrene and PVC STATICONTROL ® AS77E10 Quality of treatment: 1015 – 109 to see 108 ohms/cm. This prevents all static charges (applications: electronics, dustfree, ...). Measuring of static charges is important for the purposes of investigation of static problems.

Corona treatment An electrode connected to a high frequency generator and high AC voltage, emits an electric field in the form of corona. This changes physically and chemically the material (adhesion of inks, glues, ...). Mini-corona Corona treatment for laboratory and small series. ■■ with 3 electrodes ■■ frequency: 4-5 MHz ■■ voltage: 10-48 kV Industrial Equipment Our customized CORONA stations. ■■ From a few centimeters to several meters. ■■ All types of dielectric cylinders (covered with silicone or silicone sleeves, rectified or not, ceramics). ■■ All electrodes (multileaf, U adjustable aluminum segments and stainless steel, ceramic electrodes).

Surface treatment

Specifications Depending on your application, the product being treated, your width and speed of treatment, we can offer the right system.

vacuum Plasma treatment / nanocoating Plasma treatment is the most elaborated process. This is an activation that takes place in a vacuum environment. For simplicity, it is a “corona” under vacuum with an ionizing gas (choice depending on the properties required). The ionized gas enters the surfaces of the material to be processed.

Operation ■■ Increased surface tension: hydrophilic: better adhesion of glues and paint. ■■ Decrease surface tension: super hydrophobic or oleophobic: to make materials waterproof (nanocoating). ■■ Ultrafine cleaning of materials. Applications ■■ Etching of silicone ... ■■ Cleaning of contaminated parts. ■■ Plasma activation of plastic (printing, glueing). ■■ Film deposition. Water and oil repellent nanocoating.

Segmented Stainless Steel Electrodes => interrupt processing. Electrodes multileaf. => regular treatment in the transverse direction with high quality. Ceramic electrodes. => any treatment support (conductive or not).

IONSTORM most powerful BAR on the market! Advanced pulsed DC ionization to neutralize static electricity over long distances without blower or air assistance (up to 1500 mm). ■■

Produces positive and negative ions from specialized emitters. The amount of ions attracted by the object is based on the size of the load. Powered by a generator ionstrom 3700. The power is fully adjustable and can be fixed on specific settings. Bar up to 3 m long can be connected in series (up to 10 m long). The Boussey Control bars are ‘shockproof’.

The HP version works in the same way but is optimized for distances between
