Extra safety
November 1st 2004

Octel Performance Chemicals has developed a high flash point version of Octastat, its static management additive, that offers a practical solution to static build-up in solvents and other chemicals.

Octastat 4065 is said to provide a virtually non-flammable (70°C) option, giving companies an additional safety feature.

Octastat is a non-metallic static dissipator additive that increases the conductivity of a fluid to a level where static electricity can be safely controlled and discharged through a proper earthed connection.

It can be used in relatively small doses of between 5 and 50ppm, depending on the fluid being treated.
