These antistatic concentrates can be used to increase the visual appeal of a medical device by avoiding charge-related dust accumulation. Avient offers two types of Mevopur antistatic solutions: a non-migrating solution, that uses a fibril network to offer an immediate and constant effect; and a migrating solution, which offers antistatic properties through the attraction of water molecules on the surface to lower surface tension.
