StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags 6.5x16 - Faraday Cage Protection for Sensitive Electronics
StratoGrey static shielding bags by LK Packaging provide double-layer protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) for sensitive electronic components. The buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage that shields contents from both triboelectric charges and external static fields. At 6.5 x 16 inches, this elongated format fits circuit boards, memory modules, and other electronic assemblies that require secure ESD protection during storage and handling.
Specs: 6.5 x 16" | Buried metal construction | Static shielding | 1,000/case | Amine/amide-free interior
Commercial Applications
The 6.5x16 static shielding bag serves electronics manufacturing, repair facilities, and distribution operations handling ESD-sensitive devices. Computer component manufacturers use this size for memory sticks, expansion cards, and narrow PCB assemblies. Medical device companies rely on StratoGrey bags for sensitive diagnostic equipment components. Data center operations stock these bags for server memory modules and storage drives. The translucent material allows visual identification without opening, reducing unnecessary handling and potential ESD exposure.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer provides true static shielding, not just dissipative properties
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces—no corrosion or outgassing concerns
- Translucent Material: Easy visual identification of contents without breaking the protective seal
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seam ensures packaging integrity during storage and shipping
- Reusable Design: Seal-top closure allows multiple access cycles for frequently handled components
Technical Details
StratoGrey bags utilize a multi-layer construction with a buried metal element that creates genuine Faraday cage protection. Unlike surface-only metallized bags, this construction shields contents from static fields approaching from any direction. The amine-free interior formulation prevents chemical interaction with sensitive plastics like polycarbonate—critical for optical drives, display components, and medical device housings. LK Packaging's defect prevention manufacturing process ensures consistent quality across every bag in the case.
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding and anti-static bags?
A: Anti-static (pink poly) bags only prevent triboelectric charge buildup. Static shielding bags like StratoGrey create a Faraday cage that blocks external static fields from reaching contents—essential for sensitive CMOS and other field-sensitive components.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate components?
A: Yes. StratoGrey's amine/amide-free interior formulation will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or produce outgassing that could damage sensitive optics or plastics.
Q: Can I reuse these bags for multiple shipments?
A: Yes, the seal-top closure design allows repeated access. Inspect bags for punctures or tears before reuse—any breach compromises the Faraday cage protection.
