摘要:
The present invention is directed to ready to use (wet) and setting (dry) repair products with antistatic additives having reduced persistent airborne dust particulates upon sanding thereof. Such wet and dry repair products include, in part, an antistatic additive(s) that can reduce or eliminate the static charge that forms in dust particulates when dried repair products, such as spackling compounds, cementitious materials, and joint compounds, are sanded, for example. In turn, this can help reduce the quantity of airborne dust particulates, the time in which they are suspended, and the distance they travel in a given room or job site. In one example, a repair product for use as a dry repair compound can include an anti-static additive, which can include a cationic charge, and optionally a metal complex. In another example, the repair product further includes water to define a wet or ready to use repair product.
