Antistatic agents are also added to some military jet fuels, and to nonpolar organic solvents, to impart electrical conductivity, thus avoid buildup of static charge that could lead to sparks igniting fuel vapors. The static dissipator additive Stadis 450 is the agent added to some distillate fuels, commercial jet fuels, and to the military JP-8.
These additives are added to polymers used as sheathing for electrical cables, most commonly PEX. [34] Compounds include benzil and thioxanthone derivatives. [ 35 ] These possess high electron affinities, which allow them to trap and neutralize charge carriers that can cause dielectric breakdown of the insulation.
For example, antistatic additives can be added to help polypropylene surfaces resist dust and dirt. Many physical finishing techniques can also be used on polypropylene, such as machining . Surface treatments can be applied to polypropylene parts in order to promote adhesion of printing ink and paints.
Anti-Static Insulative: Description Carbon powders and fiber: No initial charge. Provides path for charge to bleed off. Typically black color. No or low initial charge. Prevents discharge to or from human contact Initial charges are suppressed. Typically pink color. Insulators and Base Polymers. Not an ESD material

Ethylene bis stearamide (EBS) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 NHC(O)C 17 H 35) 2.It is a waxy white solid and is also found as powder or beads that is widely used as a form release agent.
The method of rubber toughening has been used to strengthen other polymers such as PMMA and nylon. Uses include food containers, water bottles, kitchenware, e.g., blenders and mixers, healthcare materials, cosmetic jars, computer products, packaging material, household equipment e.g., shower trays, battery cases and plastic optical fibers .
An antistatic wrist strap with crocodile clip. An antistatic device is any device that reduces, dampens, or otherwise inhibits electrostatic discharge, or ESD, which is the buildup or discharge of static electricity. [1] [2] ESD can damage electrical components such as computer hard drives, and even ignite flammable liquids and gases.
