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.

Drag reducing agents can be broadly classified [2] under the following four categories – Polymers, Solid-particle suspensions, Biological additives, and Surfactants. These agents are made out of high molecular weight polymers or micellar systems. The polymers help with drag reduction by decreasing turbulence in the oil lines. This allows for ...
Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate): A primary antioxidant consisting of sterically hindered phenols with para-propionate groups. Primary antioxidants (also known as chain-breaking antioxidants) act as radical scavengers and remove peroxy radicals (ROO•), as well as to a lesser extent alkoxy radicals (RO•), hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and alkyl radicals (R•).
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
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.
CPVC sprinkler pipe inside a firestop mock-up. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC, and can also withstand higher temperatures. Uses include hot and cold water delivery pipes and industrial liquid handling.
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.
