Polymers are treated with antistatic agents to prevent static electricity buildup and to improve the dielectric surface and volume conductivity of plastic materials. Static buildup on plastic surfaces impedes processing and causes a variety of issues, including increased handling issues during transport, storage, and packaging, as well as dust attraction, which has an impact on the quality and performance of the product.
