Industry Insights
Antistatic agents are used for preventing stacking of static charges on product surfaces such as plastic and biopolymers. Additives are known to exist in different forms such as nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric. Anionic additives include sodium alkyl sulphonates, sulphonamides, and sodium alkyl phosphates.
Plastics are increasingly used in food packaging industries as they are lightweight and easy for transportation. As food packaging industry is rapidly growing, use of various types of plastics is increasing proportionally. In U.S., packaging industry is the most significant end user of plastic resins. As organized food retail sector is surging, the use of plastic resins in packaging is further growing. As a result, problems associated with static electricity in plastic industry are abundant; necessitating the use of antistatic agents to counter static discharge problems.

Further key findings from the report suggest:
- Ethoxylated amines accounted for 43.8% of the total revenue in 2016. Glycerol monostearate is also anticipated to witness steady growth over the forecast period
- Diethanolamides are similar in composition to ethoxylated amines and are produced from amination of fatty methyl esters. They provide the best performance in LDPE and LLDPE applications and are compatible with polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and non-corrosive to polycarbonate surfaces
- Demand from polypropylene application is expected to grow to reduce build ups of static charges in handling goods made of propylene during loading, unloading, and packaging operations
- Key players operating in the global antistatic agents market include The 3M Company; Akzo Nobel N.V.; BASF Corporation; Croda International Plc.; Arkema, Inc.; Ampacet Corporation; and Evonik Corporation.
