SABOSTAT®
Most plastic materials tend to build up static charge due to very low conductivity (high surface resistivity).
Consequences of static charge build up vary from the most severe scenario like sudden electrostatic discharge in a flammable/explosive atmosphere or damage to packaged electronic goods, to less catastrophic but still problematic cases such as electrostatic adhesion in films, or simply undesired issues related to dust pick-up.
SABOSTAT® products are incorporated into plastic materials and, with a surface migration mechanism, increase surface conductivity, allowing for static charges to continuously release, therefore avoiding static charge build up.

SABOFOG®
Fogging refers to condensation of water vapor on the surface of a transparent plastic film (due to differences in temperature and humidity between the two sides of the film) in the form of small discrete droplets leading finally to loss of transparency.
In food packaging films, fogging causes loss in content visibility, and therefore in product attractiveness, as well as accelerating product quality deterioration.
In greenhouse films, fogging leads to slower plant growth, and also plant and fruit blemishing due to lens effect or hot water dripping.
Anti-fog additives typically comprise hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemical functional groups in a single molecule. This structural feature allows condensed water to form a transparent layer on the film surface instead of discrete droplets, therefore maintaining transparency. This in turn helps to maintain packaged food visibility and quality, and contributes to plant health in greenhouses.
Product selection from SABO’s anti-fog additives portfolio (including SABOFOG® MS, SABOFOG® ML, SABOFOG® PGS or SABOFOG® F1) enables our customers to design formulations and fine tune the anti-fogging effect according to film characteristics, usage conditions and effect durability.
