StratoGrey 5x8 Static Shielding Bags - Reclosable ESD Protection
StratoGrey static shielding bags deliver dual-layer ESD protection through buried metal construction that creates a true Faraday cage. The 5x8 size fits circuit boards, electronic components, and sensitive assemblies requiring protection from electrostatic discharge during handling, storage, and shipping. The seal top closure allows repeated access without compromising protection.
Specs: 5 x 8" | Buried metal construction | Seal top reclosable | 2,000/case | Amine-free interior
ESD Protection Applications
These static shielding bags serve electronics manufacturing, repair facilities, and component distribution operations. Use them for storing and shipping integrated circuits, memory modules, small PCBs, and static-sensitive components. The 5x8 dimension accommodates standard-size circuit boards, hard drives, and expansion cards. Medical device manufacturers rely on this protection level for sensitive instrumentation components. Data centers use these bags for drive storage and component inventory management.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer shields contents from electrostatic fields and discharge events
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing—safe for sensitive optics and components
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy visual identification of contents without opening the bag
- Seal Top Closure: Reusable access for components that require multiple handling cycles
- 3/8" Side Seals: Strong seam integrity maintains protection during storage and handling
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a metal layer that blocks external ESD events from reaching contents (Faraday cage effect). Anti-static bags only prevent static buildup on the bag surface—they don't shield against external discharge. For sensitive ICs and PCBs, shielding bags provide superior protection.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate lenses and optical components?
A: Yes. The amine-free interior produces no outgassing or corrosive vapors, making these bags safe for polycarbonate, optical assemblies, and components sensitive to chemical contamination.
Q: Can I reuse these bags?
A: Yes—the seal top design allows multiple open/close cycles. Inspect the seal and bag integrity before each reuse to ensure continued protection.
