Eviplast 42E-DC is a special plasticizer based on polymeric esters coming from E&V production site DCA in Trecate ( NO) that reduce the surface resistivity of vulcanized rubber goods, in particular for NBR, SBR and Natural rubber based articles loaded with white mineral fillers.

The antistatic quality of a rubber article non  carbon black based and mainly clear colour  depends on:

• Nature of the polymer
• Contact area
• Relative humidity of the environment
• Surface humidity of the article

The rubber items where this feature is most required are:

• Conveyor belts and flat belts where a clear non-staining surface is required
• Flooring out and indoor.
• Safety shoes
• Rubber rollers for offset printing machineries
• Cylinders and rubber aprons for textile and textured machineries.

The detected antistatic nature of some relevant and common polymers is:

Resistivity polymers (Ohm X cm) by using a Mega-ohmeter device

NBR (most antistatic polymer) 10¹⁰

EPDM (polymer less antistatic) 10¹⁶

The fillers, plasticizers and accelerators also influence the final result.

Eviplast 42E DC has the characteristic to maintain resistivity of 1X10⁶ Ohms in particular in NBR compounds. The product does not crystallize at low temperatures as normally do due to the molecular weight

Eviplast 42 EDC remains permanently liquid at -5 ° C and tart to solidify at about - 10 ° C.
