Operating continuity
Record run length, the frequency and reason for cleaning, and relevant process changes.

Control de electricidad estática y de formación de láminas en el proceso de PE
Investigate static-related deposits, agglomeration, and product inconsistency through a structured review of the process and its operating history.
Understand the operating problem
In polyolefin production, static-related catalyst adhesion and agglomeration can contribute to reactor deposits and sheeting. Released deposits may affect product consistency, while cleaning interrupts operation. Effective evaluation starts by relating the symptoms to actual process conditions.
Agree the baseline before the trial
Product consistency
Review gels, contamination, off-spec trends, and the quality measures relevant to the resin grade.
Treatment performance
Document the current additive, static observations, catalyst-related losses, and the measurement basis.
A practical evaluation sequence
| Stage | Technical work |
|---|---|
| 01 / Assess | Review process type, catalyst chemistry, resin grades, deposit history, and the existing treatment program. |
| 02 / Design | Agree the candidate grade, compatibility review, trial conditions, monitoring plan, and criteria for success. |
| 03 / Monitor | Track static-related observations, sheeting and cleaning, product quality, and relevant operating changes. |
| 04 / Review | Compare results with the baseline and document the conditions under which the treatment was evaluated. |
Química relevante
Polysynaid 8000 and Polysynaid 8060 are process antistatic agents documented for slurry and gas-phase polyolefin production. Selection depends on the specific process and catalyst system. Dosing and addition arrangements require a site-specific technical review and the current product and safety data sheets.

Reported reduction in active catalyst loss
A Canadian PE manufacturer reported a 10% decrease in active catalyst loss after switching its antifoulant treatment to Polysynaid 8000. Longer runs and improved product consistency were reported qualitatively. Review the problem, analysis, solution, and result →
