Antistatic agents are compounds that are primarily used for the treatment of materials or their surfaces to reduce or eliminate the buildup of static electricity. These agents function either by reducing the generation of electric charge, or by increasing the rate of charge dissipation, or by both. Antistatic agents are widely used in the packaging, electronics, automotive, and textile industries. Major companies operating in the antistatic agents market include 3M (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Akzo Nobel N.V. (Netherlands), DuPont (U.S.), Croda International Plc. (U.K.), A. Schulman, Inc. (U.S.), Arkema (France), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), and Solvay S.A. (Belgium).
