Question 1

Will it breakdown/damage plastic? Counting small plastic parts that get crazy static. I'm thinking to spray a cloth and swipe pieces along it. Thx

Accepted Answer

No, Staticide does not damage plastic.  If using Heavy Duty Staticide on plastic, try diluting it with water and isopropyl alcohol.   1 part Heavy Duty Staticide, 1 part water, a half part isopropyl alcohol.   You can use more isopropyl alcohol (replacement for water), but alcohol will make a flammable solution, so store accordingly.   The alcohol improves wetting on plastic, so you end up with better coverage with less solution.  It will also improve the dry time since alcohol evaporates quicker than water.

Question 2

does this work on vinyl floors

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it might be sticky on vinyl.   For a "Ready to Use" product on vinyl floors, use the General Purpose Staticide.   If you have already purchased the Heavy Duty Staticide and want to use it on non-porous materials like a vinyl floor, just dilute it 1:1 or 1:1.5 with water.

Question 3

How long will the staticide last in tyvek labels made from flexo printing? The labels are going to be in contact with dinamite and gunpowder, no water

Accepted Answer

Staticide is an anti-static topical, so we cannot specify longevity.   If the tyvek is cleaned, the Staticide may rinse off.  Dynamite and gunpowder are explosive, so you may have to go to the customer and ask their specification for resistance.   A topical anti-stat may not be appropriate.

Question 4

Can this be used on azek pvc decking to reduce static shock when touching metal railing? how long will it last outdoors in a rainy climate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Heavy Duty Staticide can be used as a maintenance product for eliminating static from composite decking.   This product is not a permanent coating.   It is a topical anti-stat that leaves behind a surface-active residual substance that washes away with water.   It will have to be reapplied after it rains.    Static generated from composite materials seems to go away as the material ages, so the Staticide product only has to be used regularly in the first year and then periodically after that if necessary.
