Antistatic agents are a class of chemical compounds that prevent static build-up on the surface of a material, such as plastic resins and packaging. They also prevent dust and other fine particles from accumulating on the surface. This prevents static charge from causing problems for electronic components and products. A wide range of polymers can be used as antistatic agents. Some polymers can be ionic or nonionic in nature, while others are based on a combination of both. In addition, some can have internal or external antistatic properties.
Market Dynamics:
The low molecular antistatic agents market is forecast to grow at a rapid pace. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the rising demand for plastic resins from the packaging industry. This is because plastic is lightweight, durable, and chemically inert, which ensures that manufacturers prefer it over metal and wood. Moreover, the increasing disposable income of consumers is driving the demand for electronics, which has further contributed to market growth. Another factor that is boosting demand for antistatic chemicals is the need for environment-friendly products.
On the other hand, fluctuating cost of raw materials is expected to hamper the market growth.
