Clariant Hostastat FE 1 is a fatty acid ester-based internal antistatic agent derived from renewable fatty acids, designed for thermoplastic polymers—especially polypropylene (PP). It delivers fast-acting antistatic performance, effectively balancing and reducing static charge on polymer surfaces to prevent issues like dust adsorption, spark discharge, and inkjet defects. When used with long-acting ethoxylated amines (e.g., Hostastat FA 14, FA 68), it combines rapid efficacy with long-term performance. Additionally, it acts as a flow promoter during the processing of filled or reinforced PP. Per CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, this product does not require hazardous warning labels; refer to the MSDS for further details.
Fast-acting: Rapid antistatic effect, ideal for quick static control scenarios
Renewable source: Derived from renewable fatty acids, eco-friendly compliant
Synergistic compatibility: Works with Hostastat FA 14/FA 68 to balance fast & long-term performance
Multi-functional: Acts as flow promoter for filled/reinforced PP processing
Polyolefins (PP-focused): Fast internal antistatic protection
Filled/reinforced PP: Optimizes processing efficiency as flow promoter
PP products: Prevents static-related issues (dust, sparks, inkjet defects)
Thermoplastics: Paired with long-acting antistats for comprehensive static control

Q1: What types of polymers is Hostastat FE 1 compatible with?
A: Hostastat FE 1 is primarily designed for use in polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), including both homopolymers and copolymers. It demonstrates good compatibility and dispersion in these non-polar matrices and is also suitable for certain engineering thermoplastics where surface resistivity reduction is required.
Q2: How does Hostastat FE 1 achieve its antistatic effect?
A: Hostastat FE 1 functions as an internal antistatic agent by migrating to the polymer surface during processing and service life. Its amphiphilic molecular structure enables it to orient at the interface, attracting ambient moisture to form a conductive layer that dissipates static charges effectively.
Q3: Is Hostastat FE 1 suitable for food-contact applications?
A: Hostastat FE 1 is not specifically approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. Customers intending to use it in food-related packaging or articles must conduct their own regulatory assessment and obtain appropriate authorizations based on final formulation, processing conditions, and end-use requirements.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Hostastat FE 1 in polyolefin compounds?
A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, processing method, and desired level of antistatic performance. In most polyolefin applications, Hostastat FE 1 is typically used at low concentrations, generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight, with optimal results often achieved between 0.5% and 1.5%.
Q5: Does Hostastat FE 1 affect the mechanical or optical properties of the final polymer product?
A: When used within recommended dosage levels, Hostastat FE 1 generally has minimal impact on tensile strength, impact resistance, or thermal stability. It may slightly reduce haze in some formulations but is not intended to act as a clarifier or impact modifier — performance should be verified through application-specific testing.
