What is the antistatic agent MOA3PK-40? What are its main applications?

Antistatic agent MOA3PK-40 is an anionic fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate potassium salt special surfactant, designed for internal electrostatic elimination in polymer materials, providing efficient and long-lasting static dissipative function.

Detailed Description

Antistatic agent MOA3PK-40 (CAS No.: 39322-78-6), chemical name: fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate potassium salt, commonly known as alcohol ether phosphate potassium salt or polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ether phosphate potassium salt, is an anionic special surfactant produced by Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. The product appears as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a pH value between 6.0 and 8.0 (1% aqueous solution, 25°C), and is a non-flammable liquid with a flash point greater than 100°C.

The core advantage of this product lies in its excellent static elimination efficiency — a low addition level can achieve long-term antistatic effects. Meanwhile, MOA3PK-40 possesses good emulsifying and wetting properties, ensuring uniform dispersion in various substrates. Its outstanding chemical stability makes it resistant to acids, alkalis, and hard water, with good processing adaptability and excellent compatibility with a variety of polymers and organic systems. The application process is also relatively simple, suitable for internal blending or surface treatment.

The working mechanism of MOA3PK-40 is to form continuous ionic conductive channels inside the polymer material, effectively reducing surface resistivity by constructing a conductive molecular layer on the product surface, thereby achieving rapid static dissipation and preventing dust adsorption and static accumulation.

Technical Parameters

Application Recommendations

Antistatic agent MOA3PK-40 is mainly used in the following four areas:

• Internal Antistatic Treatment of Thermoplastics: Suitable for plastics such as PVC, PS, ABS, PE, PP, etc., as an internal additive antistatic agent uniformly dispersed in the matrix, applicable for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding processes, effectively preventing dust adsorption and static accumulation on product surfaces.
• Spinning Oil for Synthetic Fibers: Used in spinning oil formulations for synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, and polypropylene, imparting excellent antistatic properties, smoothness, and fiber cohesion to the fibers, reducing filament breakage and ends down during processing, improving weaving efficiency and product quality.
• Antistatic for Polyurethane (PU) Foam and Elastomers: Suitable for flexible and rigid polyurethane foams as well as cast elastomer systems, maintaining the original mechanical properties of the material while achieving long-term static dissipation, meeting the antistatic requirements of electronic packaging and industrial cushions.
• Oil-Based Coatings and Ink Systems: Provides excellent compatibility and antistatic effects in solvent-based coatings and inks, forming ionic conductive channels on the coating surface to rapidly eliminate static accumulation, preventing dust attraction and spark discharge on the film, suitable for industrial protective coatings and precision printing.

Precautions

Safety Protection: When handling, wear nitrile rubber protective gloves, safety goggles or face shield, and protective work clothes. This product may cause skin irritation (GHS classification H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.

Environmental Protection: This product is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (GHS classification H412). Do not discharge into drains, soil, or any natural water bodies. Waste products and contaminated containers must be disposed of in accordance with hazardous waste regulations.

Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Store separately from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis.
