Description

Anti-Static Agents
The present invention relates to anti-static agents for polymer substrates.
It is well known that polymers are generally good electrical insulators, typically having surface resistivities of the order of 1 x 1012 to 1014 Ω. Polymer surfaces therefore provide an ideal environment for the build up of static charges, typically by the removal or addition of electrons to their surfaces during initial processing or during downstream operations, such as conveying, assembly or end use. It can therefore be quite common to find polymer surface charges of 5000-10000 V on articles manufactured from commodity polymers, such as polyethylene film, polypropylene fibres, polystyrene mouldings or the like.
There are many detrimental effects associated with such charge build up, and include, for example, the risk of electrical discharge (explosion risk), pick up of dirt dust, and potential damage to sensitive electrical components.
It has therefore been common practice within the plastics industry to try to control the build up of static charges. This has been achieved either by: a) making a polymer article more electrically conductive, for example by the addition of carbon black, or by b) attracting atmospheric moisture to a surface of a polymer article and thus allowing a more conductive path to earth.
Currently available materials for polymer surface charge dissipation include ethoxylated fatty amines, glycerol esters and fatty alkanolamides. These materials are incorporated into the polymer meh during processing and then migrate to the surface of the polymer as it cools.
Such currently available materials suffer however from one or more drawbacks, such as slow migration, poor thermal stability, lack of longevity or can be damaging to substrate materials (for example, amines can cause cracking of printed circuit boards).
There is therefore a need for improved anti-static agents for polymer substrates. Advantageously, such improved anti-static agents would exhibit the following desirable properties - rapid migration to the polymer surface, good thermal stability at polymer processing temperatures, longevity of anti-static performance, substantially amine free and non-corrosive.
The present invention provides such improved anti-static agents for polymer substrates, and there is provided by the present invention compounds of formula (I) suitable for use as antistatic agents for a polymer substrate

The present invention will now be further illustrated by the following Examples, which do not limit the invention in any way.
Examples
Example 1 Preparation of Samples for Testing
For the incorporation of the anti-static additives into a polymer film, the following procedure was adopted.
The base polymer was ground to a powder and additive concentrates (3% w/w) produced by adding an ethoxylated amide directly to the polymer powder and tumble blending. Alternatively the ethoxylated amide was adsorbed onto a porous polymer substrate at 50 % w/w and then blended back into the polymer pellets to give a 3% w/w concentrate. To ensure good dispersion the concentrate was extruded using a twin screw extruder through a rod die, into cooling bath followed by cutting to give an easily handled pellet form.
The concentrate was blended back with virgin polymer to give the required film concentrations (e.g. 0.05, 0.1, 0.25% w/w) and extruded into film under the appropriate conditions. For example, for laboratory evaluation purposes LDPE film was produced by extrusion on a 35 mm 24: 1 L/D single screw extruder fitted with a 50 mm annular die, 0.9 mm die gap and blown film haul off tower. Extruder temperatures between 160 - 200 °C were employed.
Example 2 Measurement of static charge decay time
The time for the charge to decay to 1/e (approx. 37% of its original value) was recorded using a JCI 155 (John Chubb Ind.) static charge decay test unit. The sample was charged to 5000 V by corona discharge and the decay recorded after removal of the charging assembly. The decay time was defined as the time between the peak voltage (not the charging voltage) immediately after removal of the electrode and the time to reach 1/e of this voltage. All tests were carried out in a Faraday cage and at constant temperature and humidity (23°C/50% RH). Testing was carried out immediately after extrusion and at 1, 3, 24, 72, 168, 336 hours after extrusion after conditioning for 1 hour in the humidity cabinet (where possible). Longer-term tests were also performed. Example 3
LDPE film sanφles were sprayed separately with a solution of anti-static additives, including compounds of formula (I), in 2-prσpanol to give a level of 2mg/m2 of active ingredient on the polymer surface. In practice 10 cm3 of solution was sprayed onto a 20 X 20 cm sample of polymer film. Charge decay times were measured as described in Example 2 following conditioning for 3 hours at 23°C/50 % RH
Figure imgf000009_0001
(EO as used herein represents ethoxylated).
These results demonstrated the exceptional anti-static performance the 5 mole ethoxylates of fatty amides particularly those derived from the C18 monounsaturated amide (oleamide) and the C22 monounsaturated amide (erucamide).
The 15 mole EO adduct of lauramide was ineffective as an anti-static agent, and is outside the scope of the present invention.
Example 4
Separate LDPE formulations containing 2500ppm of ethoxylated containing 3, 5 and 15 moles of ethylene oxide were produced as described in Example 1. The charge decay times were measured after conditioning for 24 hours post extrusion.
Figure imgf000009_0002
3 mole EO lauramide 15 mole EO lauramide 500
Both the 3 and 5 mole adducts were effective anti-static additives whereas the 15 mole variant (outside the scope of the present invention) gave an unacceptablyhigh static decay time.
Example 5
Separate LDPE formulations containing 500ppm of 5 mole ethoxylates of four fatty amides of varying chain length and structure were produced as described in Example 3.
Charge decay times were measure at various time intervals after extrusion of the films.
Figure imgf000010_0001
All products were effective anti-static agents but demonstrated differing migration and longevity characteristics.
Example 6
Separate LDPE formulations containing either 2500ppm of 5 mole ethoxylated oleamide or 2500ppm of various proprietary anti-static additives were produced.
Charge decay times were measured as a function of time after extrusion and the results are shown in Figure 1. The 5 mole ethoxylated oleamide gave comparable anti-static performance to the lauric diethanolamide and was faster acting than the commercial ethoxylated tallow amine.
Example 7
The thermal stabilities of ethoxylated amide sanφles according to the present invention were compared with those of proprietary aπti-static agents based on lauric diethanolamide and ethoxylated tallow amine.
The samples were assessed by Thermo-gravimetric Analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 2.
The 5 mole ethoxylated amides according to the present inveπti∞ were clearly more thermally stable than current commercial aπti-static agents. This renders them more suitable for use at high polymer processing temperatures than the conventional anti-static agents.
