The present invention relates to the encapsulated antistatic agent composition. More particularly, the present invention relates to encapsulated antistatic agent composition wherein the antistatic agent is encapsulated in a carrier consisting of a mixture of silica and clay. Moreover, it relates to the production of the masterbatch (MB) which contains encapsulated antistatic agent which is incorporated into the polymer matrix of MB to overcome the static problems of plastic products. This invention makes an effort to overcome the drawbacks of the previously known antistatic agents.
Nowadays, plastics have replaced metals and become the material of choice because they have higher flexibility, lighter weight, better colorability and higher cost effectiveness (Harper C. A (1999), Amarasekera J (2005)). However, static problems are mainly associated with plastics products having challenges in processing and transforming industry, there is adverse effect on the performance during usage.
The antistatic agents are often incorporated in plastic product to overcome such problems. The function of antistatic agent is to prevent the build-up of static electrical charge due to the transfer of electrons to the material surface. Antistatic agents reduce the tendency of surfaces to accumulate electrostatic charges (S. R. Hartshorn, S. S. Thind, in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1984).
Nonionic-type antistatic agent finds the widest use because of their low cost and minimal effect on the mechanical properties of the plastic. Ease of use is another favourable aspect to nonionics. They can be mixed with the bulk of the plastic prior to processing in a masterbatch form or can be applied as coating to the surface of the finished plastic article as the need dictates. However, the use of said nonionics do exhibit temporary effect for short duration of time. Therefore, to overcome the aforesaid drawback & extend anti-static impact for long term, encapsulation technology would be favourable solution.
The antistatic agents can be divided into ionic, amphoteric, and nonionic points. Ionic antistatic agents include cationic compounds, such as quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, or sulfonium salts, and anionic compounds, usually sodium salts of sulfonates, phosphates, and carboxylic acids. Nonionic antistatic agents include esters, such as glycerol esters of fatty acids, ethoxylated tertiary amines, ethoxylated amides and alkylsulfonate esters. Many are FDA- or EU approved. Nonionic antistatics are commonly used in polyolefins; glyceryl monostearate is used in many polypropylene injection molding applications, at levels ranging from 0.05 to >1%. Loading levels depend on resin processing temperatures, the presence of other additives, and application requirements such as clarity, printability, and FDA compliance (Clive Maier, Teresa Calafut, in Polypropylene, 1998). They may be incorporated with the other ingredients during the compounding stage or applied directly to the surface as an antistatic coating.
However, after incorporation most of the antistatic agent has the tendency to come up on the surface, gets washed off and hence there is non-availability of these antistatic agent. Therefore, the antistatic effect is retained only for short duration of time.
CN 103709493 discloses a polymer composition whereas the polymer is a combination of three different low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymers; the MB comprises an additional inorganic material. The above-mentioned ingredients are put into a high-speed blender to be fully and uniformly melted after high-speed blending, thereafter discharged, cooled, fully cured, and then crashed and sieved to obtain a finished product. The master batch and the preparation method disclosed by the invention can be applied to modification of plastic products in plastic processing industry.
CN 104250403 discloses a composition whereas the MB comprises besides the polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (PP) carrier and the antistatic agent, an anti-blocking agent (preferably silica as release agent, but only 0.1-1 parts), an anti-oxidant and one or more compound stabilizers. The masterbatch antistatic has good antistatic effect, lasting effect and good dustproof effect.
CN 106633392 discloses a composition whereas the MB comprises a polypropylene (PP) carrier resin, polyamide (PA) resin particles, 10 to 15 parts of active aluminium oxide powder, 10-15% clay and additionally MgCl2, dispersant and a coupling agent. The functional master batch has the advantages that the PA resin particles, the active aluminum oxide powder, the clay and the magnesium chloride are compounded, so that a polypropylene product achieves the effects that the wetness degree of the polypropylene product is improved by combining water through a chemical or physical path, and meanwhile, the excess charge generated in the polypropylene product is timely dispersed, so that the antistatic capability of a polypropylene material is improved.
CN 107556579 discloses a composition whereas the MB comprises 14-20% polyethylene (PE) polymer, 80-90% bentonite and further carbon black, PE wax, phosphate coupling agent and 3-5% stearic acid amide. According to the polyethylene antistatic filling master batch disclosed by the invention, tetradecyl pyridinium bromide modified bentonite is adopted, and the compatibility between the modified bentonite and the polyethylene is improved, so that the prepared filling masterbatch is easily dispersed in the polyethylene, and the mechanical property and the antistatic property of the polyethylene are improved.
JP 2000313875 discloses that the antistatic is a (A) diethanolamide of a C10-C14 fatty acid and (C) a monoglyceride C10-C14 fatty acid; carrier resin (B) is a petal like calcium silicate powder; AB and B/C are mixed together.

In another embodiment, the present invention provides method for the preparation of masterbatch of the encapsulated antistatic agent and resin composition wherein the encapsulated antistatic agent are expediently provided in the form of a masterbatch, in which the polymer is preferably polyolefins in which the respective encapsulated antistatic is to be incorporated.
In a preferred embodiment, polymers include polyolefins and polyolefin copolymers selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE), preferably selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), metallocene low density polyethylene (mLDPE) and metallocene linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE), polypropylene (PP), preferably selected from the group consisting of polypropylene homopolymer (PPH), polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) and polypropylene block copolymers (PP-block-COPO), PE copolymers, preferably selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), copolymers of ethylene and methyl acrylate (EMA), copolymers of ethylene and butyl acrylate (EBA), copolymers of ethylene and ethyl acrylate (EEA), and cycloolefin copolymers (COC), general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS).
Masterbatches can be prepared by customary physical mixing processes.
A mixing apparatus for the use of a solid masterbatches MB can be a mixer, extruder, kneader, press, mill, calender, blender, injection moulding machine, injection and stretch blow moulding machine (ISBM), extrusion blow moulding machine (EBM), compression moulding machine, compression and stretch blow moulding machine; more preferably a mixer, extruder, injection moulding machine, injection and stretch blow moulding machine, compression moulding machine, compression and stretch blow moulding machine; even more preferably a mixer, extruder, injection and stretch blow moulding machine and extrusion blow moulding machine.
Extruders may be equipped with a metering system for introducing said additives and/or masterbatches into the main stream polymer. This metering may be carried out directly with one or more pure components or with one or more masterbatches.
The type of metering equipment used depends on the form in which the pure component or the masterbatch is metered.
In the case of solid component, a metering device of the feed screw type is usually employed and the point of introduction may be the main inlet of the extruder jointly with the feed of the main polymer granules, or in an unpressurized injection zone located along the extruder. For a solid masterbatch, the metering device may be a system comprising an additional extruder that pre-melts the masterbatch, pressurizes it and meters it by means of a metering pump, the amount of masterbatch metered being fed at a point along the main extruder advantageously without pressure.
In an embodiment, the encapsulated antistatic agent composition can be in the powder form or in granular form.
The anti-static effect of glycerol ester is not permanent. It is well understood that anti-static agent migrates to surface and sometimes gets volatile during processing. As a result, effect is temporary. Therefore, it is necessary and essential to form protective shielding as this would safeguard the active. The unique way of preparing encapsulated antistatic formulation aids to long lasting effect. The release of the antistatic can be modified using a combination of inorganic absorbents so that there is controlled release of active to the surface which is available for longer time.
Patent CN 104250403 discloses the usage of a release agent and antiblocking agent in parts 0.1-1 and the highest loading of antistatic is only 35%. The present invention provides the advantage of using silica and clay mixture as an absorbent. Higher loading percentage of antistatic agent is possible (40-60%) when silica is only used. However, the antistatic agent entrapped into the matrix and the release of antistatic agent to the surface is faster when silica is used as a carrier. The antistatic agent is immobilized as film or liquid or droplets of liquid. In addition, silica is macroporous and release from the carrier into the polymer will depend on the mobility of the active ingredient in the polymer and the interaction of active ingredient with the carrier. Surprisingly it has been found that silica in combination with another inorganic material like clay has the advantage of releasing the active in a controllable manner due to the intercalation and adsorption properties of the clay. Clay acts as carriers for liquids by absorbing them into pores and in between the sheets. Surprisingly this provides a delayed release of active.
The present invention provides antistatic absorbed on silica and clay composition wherein the antistatic are well-incorporated onto porous, hydrophilic mixture of silica and clay. The procedure of melting the antistatics at desired temperature is being practiced with the condition of silica and clay mixture mentioned at same temperature, enhances penetration of active into porous walls of silica and clay mixture. The concentration of antistatic is preferably 10% to 60%, preferably 25% to 55%, most preferably 30% to 50%.
The present invention also provides an encapsulation composition where in the absorbent could be a combination of silica and clay varying from percentage 40 to 90%, preferably 45 to 75%, most preferably 50 to 70% or a clay varying from 50 to 90%, preferably 60 to 90% and most preferably 75 to 85%.
The present invention also provides the advantage of creating a non-existing product category which links the performance of temporary antistatic and permanent antistatic. The temporary antistatic performance exists up to one year and the permanent antistatic last for more than seven years which makes them expensive. The creation of new product range would link the performance between the temporary and permanent antistatic effect.
