I don't know what you mean by "fog buster" and assume you mean a specific product. I don't know about that speciifc one but insert an excerpt from my own website that should explain the case.



Electric non conductivity is one of the various advantages that plastics possess generally. However, there are cases where this advantage turns to be a defect that static electric charge accumulates on the surface of plastics. Static electricity gives troubles such as electric shock, dust attraction and sticking of films.


Antistatic agents are used to solve the problems as related above by giving antistatic properties to plastics without altering the general mechanical properties of the plastics.


Antistatic agents have in their molecules both hydrophobic and hydrophilic radicals. Practically, the hydrophobic radicals turn to the surface of plastics, while the hydrophilic radicals turn to the air attracting the moisture in the atmosphere.
The static charge accumulation in plastics os dissipated, through the conductivity of water absorbed by antistatic agents.

at the same time, antistatic agents show the action of reducing the accumulation of frictional static charge. Thus, antistatic effect is obtained.
