Electrets can be produced from cycloolefin copolymers (COCs), and charges applied thereto are stable for long periods, even at high temperatures and high relative humidities. The reduction here in a positive charge applied to the COCs is smaller than that of negative charges applied to the COCs. The stability over time of the charges applied is impaired by adding polar additives, such as inorganic silicon compounds. Films, fibers or nonwovens produced from electrets can be processed to give filters.
