Antistatic agents and resin compositions incorporated therein

Methods for reducing or eliminating static electric charges on resins by adding to the resins an effective amount of at least one substituted ammonium salt of an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, the salt having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a straight or branched chain alkyl group having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is hydroxyethyl or an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and are hydroxyethyl, an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, or hydrogen, and R.sub.4 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, together with resins so produced and compositions additionally containing fatty acids for such use.

Plastic compositions with antistatic properties

A method for the nucleation of polyolefins containing residual polymerization catalyst by blending the polyolefins with at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing from about 4 to about 21 carbon atoms and at least one aliphatic monocarboxylic acid containing from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms in a weight ratio between about 4:1 and about 1:4. Also a composition comprising at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing from about 4 to about 21 carbon atoms and at least one aliphatic monocarboxylic acid containing from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms. The polyolefin product of the nucleation can be molded into shaped articles.
