How to make HIPS plastic sheet achieve antistatic effect?

HIPS plastic sheet itself is a non-conductive material and is prone to static electricity. In order to make HIPS plastic sheet achieve antistatic effect, the following methods can be used:

Add antistatic agent: Adding antistatic agent to HIPS resin can reduce the surface resistance of the material, making it conductive or semi-conductive, thereby achieving antistatic effect. Common antistatic agents include carbon black, graphite powder, metal powder, conductive fiber, etc.

Modified HIPS resin: Modifying HIPS resin by grafting, blending or copolymerization can change the charge distribution of the material and make it have antistatic properties. Common modification methods include:

• Grafting monomers containing hydrophilic groups onto HIPS resin chains to form a conductive water film on the surface of the material.
• Evenly dispersing conductive fillers (such as carbon black, graphite powder, etc.) in HIPS resin to form a conductive network.
• Antistatic comonomers (such as styrene-acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, etc.) are copolymerized with HIPS monomers to obtain copolymers with antistatic properties.

Surface treatment: The surface of HIPS plastic sheets can also be treated to make them antistatic. Common surface treatment methods include:

• Conductive coating: Apply a layer of conductive coating, such as metallic paint, conductive ink, etc., to the surface of HIPS plastic sheets.
• Static eliminator: Spray static eliminator on the surface of HIPS plastic sheets to neutralize the surface charge.
• Plasma treatment: Treat the surface of HIPS plastic sheets with plasma to modify their surface.

Benefits of making HIPS plastic sheet antistatic

Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic has the following benefits:

Prevent static electricity accumulation: Static electricity accumulation can cause safety accidents such as component damage, fire and explosion. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can effectively prevent static electricity accumulation and improve safety.

Prevent dust adsorption: Charged HIPS plastic sheets are prone to adsorb dust, affecting product appearance and service life. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can prevent dust absorption and keep products clean.

Expand the scope of application: HIPS plastic sheets are widely used in electronics, food, medicine and other industries. In these industries, static electricity can cause various problems. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can expand its scope of application.

Here are some specific application examples

Electronics industry: In the electronics industry, HIPS plastic sheets are often used to make packaging boxes and trays for electronic components. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can prevent static electricity from breaking through components and improve product quality.

Food industry: In the food industry, HIPS plastic sheets are often used to make food packaging boxes and trays. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can prevent static electricity from absorbing dust and dirt and improve food hygiene.

Pharmaceutical industry: In the pharmaceutical industry, HIPS plastic sheets are often used to make packaging boxes and trays for medical devices. Making HIPS plastic sheets antistatic can prevent static electricity from causing fires and explosions and ensure the safety of medical devices.
