It refers to chemical additive added or coated on the surface of polymer products to reduce surface resistance and prevent electrostatic accumulation and the resulting electrostatic hazards. Applying antistatic agent on the surface of macromolecule surface of materials or mixing antistatic agent with it can accelerate the diffusion speed of electrostatic charge, thus making macromolecule materials antistatic. According to the different ways of use, antistatic agent are generally divided into two categories: external antistatic agent (also known as coated antistatic agent) and additive antistatic agent (also known as mixing antistatic agent). The main varieties are anionic antistatic agent, cationic antistatic agent, zwitterionic antistatic agent, non-ionic antistatic agent, metal fiber and carbon black antistatic agent. antistatic agent has been widely used in many fields, including food packaging industry, cosmetics, electronics industry, household appliance shell, automobile shell, electronic instrument parts, precision machinery parts, etc.
