Let’s discuss static shielding bags

Without providing their conventional comparison between anti-static bags (Which are pink in color)
In this blog, we are going to discuss the primary solution (which is considered as perfect one) for the protection of sensitive electronic pieces of equipment such as printed circuit boards, and similar hardware from the damage that is prosecuted by electrostatic discharge. The ESD damage is most likely to do its thing during the time when the enclosed entity is most likely to catch friction. The events such as storage, shipment, and transit are commonly the events where the enclosed commodity is most likely to find resistance. The static shielding bags are known to be a little heavier as compared to the standard packaging bags. This is because of the fact that these bags are layered by 3-4 exclusive layers, which collectively form a Faraday cage around the enclosed commodity, therefore, neutralizing or nearly nullifying the effect of ESD damage and lowering the friction coefficient.

Shielding bags and precision engineering

These bags are exclusively designed by the equipping the precision engineering. It is a lesser-known fact that these bags are designed in a way that the surface resistance is maintained at the rate of 108–1011 Ω (ohms). In this way, the metallic Faraday cage works to reduce or nullify the surface effect, thus, shielding the product by preventing the static build-up. The three layers that are the part of this bag are static dissipative polyethylene, which is exclusively shielded by aluminum and polyester, thus, lowering the chances of product damage.

Somethings that you might need to know about ESD

There are some fact-based points that static shielding bags manufacturers should know while producing these packaging containers. These are
  1. Humidity and moisture increase the chance of damage
  2. Parts that are least damaged from ESD are likely to a malfunction during the process
  3. ESD is not a new concept. It is old physics and requires conventional techniques to tackle
