Anti-Static Technology
The distinctive pink color indicates anti-static properties built into the polyethylene film. Static-dissipative additives throughout the material eliminate triboelectric charge buildup that can damage sensitive electronic components. Unlike surface-only treatments that wear off, the anti-static protection is integral to the film and remains effective throughout the product lifecycle.
Amine-Free Formulation
These bags feature an amine-free anti-static formulation, making them safe for use with polycarbonate circuit boards and components. Traditional amine-based anti-static agents can cause stress cracking in polycarbonate materials. The amine-free formula eliminates this risk while maintaining excellent static protection.
Applications
The 12x18 size accommodates a wide range of electronic components and assemblies commonly encountered in manufacturing, repair, and distribution operations:
- Circuit Board Assembly: Motherboards, graphics cards, and PCB assemblies up to 11x17 inches
- Computer Components: Power supplies, hard drives, optical drives, and peripheral cards
- Electronics Manufacturing: Work-in-progress protection between assembly stations
- Repair Operations: Safe storage of customer components during service
- Inventory Storage: Long-term warehousing of static-sensitive spare parts
- Shipping: Inner packaging layer for electronics distribution
Key Features
- 4 Mil Heavy-Duty Thickness: Puncture-resistant protection for components with sharp edges or leads
- Heat Sealable: Create tamper-evident sealed packages with standard impulse sealers
- Transparent Pink: Easy visual identification of contents while indicating ESD protection
- Consistent Static Protection: Integral additives provide uniform protection across entire bag surface
- No Faraday Cage Required: Ideal for static-sensitive items not requiring RF shielding
When to Use Pink Anti-Static vs. Static Shielding
Pink anti-static bags prevent static charge generation during handling and provide excellent protection for most electronic components. For items requiring Faraday Cage protection against external electrostatic fields or RF interference, consider metallic static shielding bags instead. Pink anti-static bags offer a cost-effective solution when charge prevention is the primary concern.
Storage and Handling
Store bags in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Anti-static properties remain stable under normal warehouse conditions. For best results, ensure components are clean and dry before packaging. Bags can be sealed with heat sealers, tape, or twist ties depending on application requirements.
