This invention describes a dispersion for coating a polymer surface comprising polyglycerol esters and a surfactant being a neutralized or partially neutralised fatty acid or a neutralized or partially neutralized ester of fatty acids. The dispersion can be diluted into a coating composition, which can be applied as a coating on a polymer surface. The coating has anti-static and anti-fogging effects and can be used for for example a variety of different packaging materials.
