Antistatic Treatments

A variety of chemical products and fabrics are reputed to be antibacterial and to prevent odors and the spread of infection (170). One such finish is based on an organosiUcon quaternary ammonium chloride compound (171). Chemical finishing of cotton has also been directed toward improving soil release (172,173), antistatic treatments (174), and rot resistance (175,176).

Antistatic treatment Kan (2007) studied the effect of discharge power of a low-temperature plasma treatment on the antistatic property of polyester fabric. The results reveal that when the discharge power increases, the half-hfe decay time decreases accordingly, which means that a better antistatic property is achieved. When... 

We should distinguish between the applications requiring materials with intermediate resistivity values, and those requiring electrically conducting, or at least semi-conducting, behaviour. Most plastics, before any antistatic treatment, have very high volume resistivities, of the order of... 

Applications. Amines (more especially diamines and tertiary amines) and their salts are used mainly in textile treatment (e.g., antistatic treatment) and occasionally in rinse fabric softeners. 

Acetate and triacetate fibers conduct heat readily and are cool to the touch. Being thermoplastic, acetate and triacetate fibers soften at 200°C and 225°C and melt at 232°C and 300°C, respectively. Triacetate can be heat set more readily than acetate, and permanent pleats can be satisfactorily heat set into triacetate fabric. Heat treatment of triacetate will change the character of the fiber and give a more dense molecular structure. Acetate and triacetate possess excellent electrical characteristics and can be used as insulating materials. As a consequence, static buildup is a problem on these fibers unless antistatic treatments are applied. Acetates and triacetates are attacked by a number of organic solvents capable of dissolving esters. Acetate swells or dissolves in acetone, ethyl acetate, phenol, chloroform, and methylene chloride, whereas triacetate dissolves in formic acid, acetic acid, methylene chloride, or chloroform. 

Clarity Clarity is an issue in many extruded film or sheet applications. One can often find clarity differences in PVC resins that would appear to have similar properties at first glance. Many PVC resins sold into extmded film and sheet applications contain antistatic treatments as well as residual materials fi om the polymerization process. These treatments and contaminants have an effect on product clarity.
