ない。However, the aqueous solutions of many conventionally known antistatic agents have poor affinity with polyolefin-based and polyester-based nonwoven fabrics. When applying it, it is difficult to apply it uniformly to the surface of the packaging material. As a result, antistatic unevenness occurs in the packaging material, or the amount of antistatic agent deposited is insufficient, making it impossible to obtain sufficient antistatic ability.
