Armostat 1800
Chemical Name: Octadecyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine
CAS Number: 10213-78-2
Physical Form: Solid
Used as a stearic acid-based internal antistatic agent for various polymers such as PE, LLDPE, PP, SAN, and ABS.
Applications
Armostat® 1800 is a plant-based saturated alkyl (C16–C18) bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. Armostat® 1800 is an internal antistatic additive suitable for use in various polymers, such as PE, LLDPE, PP, SAN, and ABS. Armostat® 1800 provides long-lasting antistatic performance and exhibits excellent thermal stability due to its saturated alkyl chains. This makes Armostat® 1800 particularly suitable for applications requiring higher processing temperatures. Armostat® 1800 is a solid at ambient temperature. When heated to 60–65°C, Armostat® 1800 can be added directly to the polymer in liquid form using a single-screw or twin-screw extruder. Pigments or color concentrates should be blended with the antistatic agent prior to extrusion. Premixing ensures uniform distribution of Armostat® 1800 in the resin, and Armostat® 1800 can also serve as a dispersing aid for pigment pastes.
