摘要 |
A polymeric material resistant to the build up of static charge is disclosed, along with processes for achieving the same. According to the present invention, an anti-stat agent is combined with a thermoplastic polymer to form a polymeric material that is resistant to the build-up of static charge. The anti-stat agent of the present disclosure can be a derivatized fatty molecule, such as a derivatized fatty alcohol or a derivatized fatty acid. In one embodiment, the fatty molecule can be alkoxylated to form an alkoxylated fatty molecule, such as an ethoxylated fatty molecule. Additionally, in another embodiment, the alkoxylated fatty molecule can be reacted with a phosphoric compound.
