StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags 12x18 - Faraday Cage ESD Protection
StratoGrey 12x18 static shielding bags by LK Packaging deliver advanced electrostatic discharge protection through buried metal Faraday cage construction. The reclosable seal top design allows repeated access while maintaining ESD protection, making these bags ideal for electronic components that require multiple handling cycles during assembly, testing, or inventory management.
Specs: 12 x 18" | Buried metal construction | Reclosable seal top | 500/case | 3/8" side seal | Amine-free interior
Technical Protection Features
The StratoGrey construction utilizes buried metal layers that create a complete Faraday cage around contents, providing double protection against electrostatic discharge. Unlike simple anti-static bags that only prevent charge generation, these static shielding bags actively block external ESD events from reaching sensitive components. The amine-free and amide-free interior prevents corrosion on polycarbonate surfaces and eliminates outgassing concerns critical for sensitive electronics manufacturing environments.
Applications
The 12x18 size accommodates medium to large circuit boards, motherboards, graphics cards, and assembled electronic modules. Electronics manufacturers use these bags for work-in-progress protection during multi-stage assembly. Computer repair facilities rely on StratoGrey bags for safely storing customer hardware. Data centers and IT departments stock this size for spare parts inventory. Medical device manufacturers specify these bags for sensitive diagnostic equipment components. The semi-transparent material allows barcode scanning and visual identification without opening the bag.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal construction shields contents from external ESD events
- Reclosable Seal Top: Resealable closure allows repeated access without compromising protection
- Amine-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces, no outgassing or corrosion risk
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy content identification and barcode scanning
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seams ensure packaging integrity during handling
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between anti-static bags and static shielding bags?
A: Anti-static bags prevent static charge buildup on the bag surface. Static shielding bags like StratoGrey go further—the buried metal layer creates a Faraday cage that blocks external ESD events from reaching contents, providing superior protection for sensitive electronics.
Q: Can I reuse these bags multiple times?
A: Yes. The reclosable seal top is designed for repeated opening and closing. StratoGrey bags maintain their shielding properties through multiple uses as long as the bag isn't punctured or torn.
Q: What size components fit in a 12x18 static shielding bag?
A: The 12x18 size accommodates motherboards, graphics cards, large circuit boards, and assembled modules up to approximately 11x17" with some clearance for the seal.
