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.
EBS is a synthetic wax used as a dispersing agent or internal/external lubricant for benefits in plastic applications to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid compounding materials to enhance processability, to decrease friction and abrasion of the polymer surface, and to contribute color stability and polymer degradation.

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
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 .
The additives in a masterbatch are chosen to impart desired physical property changes to a final plastic product. They can increase volumetric output due to thermal conductivity and volumetric expansion at a given temperature as well as potentially increasing the toughness, flexural stiffness, adhesion, and printability of a final product.
