Applications
The 18x18 StratoGrey bags serve demanding ESD protection requirements across multiple industries. Electronics manufacturers use this size for motherboards, large PCB assemblies, and multi-board modules during production and shipping. Computer repair and refurbishment operations rely on these bags to protect replacement parts and customer hardware. Data center technicians stock this size for server components, RAID controllers, and network cards. Aerospace and defense contractors specify StratoGrey for mission-critical avionics and communication equipment. Medical device manufacturers protect sensitive diagnostic equipment and imaging components with these static shielding bags.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer provides double protection against electrostatic discharge by creating a complete conductive envelope around contents
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or produce outgassing that could damage sensitive electronics or optical components
- Reclosable Seal Top: Convenient resealable closure allows repeated access to contents during assembly, testing, or multi-stage manufacturing processes
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy identification of contents without opening the bag, reducing handling and potential ESD exposure
- 3/8" Side Seal: Strong perimeter sealing ensures packaging integrity during storage and shipping
- Large Format: 18x18 dimensions accommodate oversized PCBs, motherboards, and assembled electronic modules
Technical Specifications
StratoGrey static shielding bags meet industry standards for ESD protective packaging. The buried metal construction creates a continuous conductive path around all surfaces, preventing both triboelectric charge generation and external static field penetration. The amine-free and amide-free inner surface is specifically engineered for compatibility with polycarbonate components, optical lenses, and other materials sensitive to chemical outgassing. This makes StratoGrey bags suitable for long-term storage applications where traditional anti-static bags might cause surface damage over time.
Common Questions
Q: What makes StratoGrey different from standard anti-static bags?
A: StratoGrey uses buried metal construction to create a true Faraday cage that shields contents from external static fields. Standard anti-static bags only dissipate surface charges. For sensitive components, static shielding provides superior protection.
Q: Can I use these bags for components with polycarbonate parts?
A: Yes. StratoGrey's amine-free and amide-free interior is specifically designed to be compatible with polycarbonate surfaces. Unlike some ESD bags, StratoGrey will not cause stress cracking or surface damage during storage.
Q: What size components fit in the 18x18 bag?
A: The 18x18 interior accommodates components up to approximately 17x17 inches with minimal clearance. For larger motherboards, server boards, or PCB assemblies, this size provides room for the component plus standard ESD foam or cushioning.
