Abstract
A water- and oil-repellent, antistatic composition comprises (a) at least one nonpolymeric ionic salt consisting of (i) at least one cation selected from the group consisting of monovalent metal cations, divalent metal cations, and organic onium cations, and (ii) at least one weakly coordinating anion, the conjugate acid of the anion having an acidity greater than or equal to that of a hydrocarbon sulfonic acid, and with the proviso that the anion is organic or fluoroorganic when the cation is a metal; (b) at least one fluorochemical repellency-imparting additive or repellent; and (c) at least one insulating material. The composition exhibits good antistatic and repellency characteristics.
Claims2
A film comprising a composition comprising (a) at least one nonpolymeric ionic salt consisting of (i) at least one cation selected from the group consisting of monovalent metal cations, divalent metal cations, and organic onium cations and (ii) at least one weakly coordinating anion, the conjugate acid of said anion having an acidity greater than or equal to that of a hydrocarbon sulfonic acid, and with the proviso that said anion is organic or fluoroorganic when said cation is a metal;
- (b) at least one fluorochemical repellent;
- and (c) at least one insulating material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers, and reactive precursors thereof;
- wherein said composition is prepared by forming a blend of components (a), (b), and (c).
A molded or blown article comprising a composition comprising (a) at least one nonpolymeric ionic salt consisting of (i) at least one cation selected from the group consisting of monovalent metal cations, divalent metal cations, and organic onium cations and (ii) at least one weakly coordinating anion, the conjugate acid of said anion having an acidity greater than or equal to that of a hydrocarbon sulfonic acid, and with the proviso that said anion is organic or fluoroorganic when said cation is a metal;
- (b) at least one fluorochemical repellent;
- and (c) at least one insulating material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers, and reactive precursors thereof;
- wherein said composition is prepared by forming a blend of components (a), (b), and (c).
