Anti-static Coatings for Plastics Market

Global Anti-static Coatings for Plastics Market: Overview

Anti-static coatings are applied on plastic surfaces to dissipate static-charge that may accumulate on these surfaces.  Anti-static coatings are applied on the bodies of consumer goods, electronic goods, vehicles, etc. Static-buildup is a major issue encountered in the plastic industry. Plastic substrates usually possess smooth surfaces, and are likely to develop static charges when separated from each other. Buildup of static charge can lead to electrostatic discharge. The release of static can destroy an electronic segment or cause visual imperfections in coated films. Substantial release of static can cause harm to an individual using the appliance. Anti-static coatings consist of conductive fillers, which help in dissipating or conducting the static charge and prevent static buildup on plastic surfaces.
