Arcvolt AS 210 Static-Dissipative Coating
A static-dissipative coating that places surface resistivity in the 1×10^6 to 1×10^9 ohms per square band, so accumulated charge bleeds away in a controlled time rather than discharging in a single event. It uses a permanent conductive network rather than a migrating humectant additive, so the property depends less on ambient humidity and does not wash off.

1. Product description
A static-dissipative coating that places surface resistivity in the 1×10^6 to 1×10^9 ohms per square band, so accumulated charge bleeds away in a controlled time rather than discharging in a single event. It uses a permanent conductive network rather than a migrating humectant additive, so the property is less dependent on ambient humidity and does not wash off. It is used on handling trays, tote lids, film, work surfaces and enclosure interiors.
2. Features
- Surface resistivity in the 1×10^6 to 1×10^9 ohms per square dissipative band
- Permanent conductive network, no migrating humectant additive
- Less dependent on ambient humidity, and the property does not wash off
- Applied by spray, roller or curtain coat at 20 to 40 microns dry
3. Recommended uses
Handling trays, tote lids, film, work surfaces and enclosure interiors where accumulated static charge has to be drained in a controlled time.
Substrates. ABS, polycarbonate and ABS/PC blends, pre-treated polypropylene, PET and PC film, powder-coated and phosphated steel, GRP.
4. Typical properties
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Static-dissipative coating with a permanent conductive network | Formulation |
| Surface resistivity | 1×10^6 to 1×10^9 ohms per square, measured on the production film build at the conditioning humidity the customer tests at | ASTM D257 |
| Dissipative mechanism | Permanent conductive network; no migrating humectant additive | Not applicable |
| Humidity dependence | Lower than for humectant-based treatments; confirmed at the customer's conditioning humidity | Customer or supplier protocol |
| Wash resistance | Property does not wash off; wash regime agreed for the project | Customer or supplier protocol |
| Dry film thickness | 20 to 40 microns | ISO 2808 |
| Adhesion, cross-cut | Classification 0 to 1 on the specified pre-treatment | ISO 2409 |
| Drying window | Air dry 30 to 60 minutes at ambient, or force dry 15 to 20 minutes at 60 to 80 degrees C | Customer or supplier protocol |
Typical values, not a specification. Values for each batch are given on its Certificate of Analysis.
5. Application
| Parameter | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Application method | Conventional, HVLP or electrostatic spray, roller or curtain coat |
| Surface preparation | Clean, dry and free of release agent and dust. Polypropylene is pre-treated before coating; steel is coated over its powder coat or phosphate. |
| Thinner | Only the thinner specified for the grade on the label |
| Applied film thickness | 20 to 40 microns dry |
| Drying schedule | Air dry 30 to 60 minutes at ambient, or force dry 15 to 20 minutes at 60 to 80 degrees C |
| Verification | Measure resistivity on the production film build and at the conditioning humidity the customer tests at, not on a thicker test panel |
Process. Conventional, HVLP or electrostatic spray, roller or curtain coat at 20 to 40 microns dry. Air dry 30 to 60 minutes at ambient or force dry 15 to 20 minutes at 60 to 80 degrees C. Resistivity must be verified on the production film build and at the conditioning humidity the customer tests at, not on a thicker test panel.
6. Storage and handling
Store in the original closed containers in a cool, dry, covered area, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Shelf life is stated on the label and Certificate of Analysis. Handle and use the product in line with its Safety Data Sheet.
7. Safety and regulatory information
Read the Safety Data Sheet before use. Safety Data Sheets and regulatory declarations are issued by our technical centre against the product and batch supplied, so they are sent on request rather than published. Request a Safety Data Sheet or declaration.
This Technical Data Sheet is published for on-screen reference. The information is given in good faith from laboratory and application experience and describes typical values; it is not a specification and does not replace a trial on your own substrate and line.
