Antistatic agents

Antistatic agents are substances added to materials like plastics or fabrics to prevent the buildup of static electricity. Static electricity occurs when surfaces accumulate electric charge, causing discomfort or attracting dust and dirt. These agents work by either increasing the material's ability to dissipate static charges safely or by reducing the build-up of charge through moisture retention or conductive properties. They are commonly used in electronics, packaging, and textiles to improve safety, performance, and cleanliness. Overall, antistatic agents help maintain stable, static-free surfaces, reducing the risk of static-related issues.
