Application: HBS-A1800 is a vegetable based saturated alkyl(C16~C18) bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amine.HBS-A1800 is an internal antistatic additive that can be used in various polymers such as PE, LLDPE, PP, SAN and ABS. HBS-A1800 gives sustained antistatic action and shows excellent thermal stability due to its saturated alkyl chain. This makes HBS-A1800 especially suitable for those applications needing higher processing temperatures.
HBS-A1800 is a solid at ambient temperatures. When heated at 60-65℃, the product can be dosed as a liquid directly into the polymer by using a single or twin-screw extruder. Pigment or color concentrates should be mixed with the antistatic agent prior to extruding. Premixing ensures uniform distribution of HBS-A1800 in the resin while HBS-A1800 acts as a dispersion aid to the pigment color concentrate.
After being mixed into the polymer HBS-A1800 continuously migrates to the surface of the finished product where it provides excellent antistatic performance. HBS-A1800 is especially well suitable for those applications needing high processing temperatures.

Some indication for the level applied in various polymers is given below:
Polymer           Addition level (%)
PE               0.1-0.3
PP               0.1-0.3
LLDPE               0.1-0.3
ABS               1.5-3.0                   
PS: HBS-A1800 is the vegetable based alternative to HBS-A600.

Safety and health: HBS-A1800 is non-toxic, approved for application in food indirect contact packaging materials.
