2x6 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - Buried Metal ESD Protection
StratoGrey 2x6 static shielding bags by LK Packaging deliver Faraday cage protection for sensitive electronic components. The buried metal construction creates a continuous conductive shield that safely dissipates electrostatic discharge before it reaches contents—essential protection for ICs, memory modules, sensors, and miniature circuit assemblies during storage and handling.
Specs: 2 x 6" | Buried metal-in construction | Semi-transparent | 3/8" side seal | 1,000/case | Amine-free interior
Applications
The compact 2x6 footprint suits small-form-factor electronics that require static-safe packaging. Electronics manufacturers use these bags for IC chips, DIP packages, and small integrated circuits during production and inter-facility transport. Computer component distributors rely on this size for memory sticks, USB drives, and compact flash cards. Assembly operations stock them for connectors, sensors, and discrete components pulled from static-controlled workstations. The translucent material allows barcode scanning and visual identification without opening the bag, streamlining inventory management in ESD-protected areas.
Key Features
- Faraday Cage Protection: Buried metal layer creates continuous shielding against electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference
- Amine-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces—no corrosion risk or outgassing that damages sensitive optics and displays
- Semi-Transparent Material: Visual identification and barcode reading without compromising ESD protection
- 3/8" Side Seals: Wide heat seals maintain packaging integrity through repeated handling and storage cycles
- Reusable Design: Open-top format allows multiple access cycles for components requiring frequent inspection or rework
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding and anti-static bags?
A: Anti-static bags prevent static buildup on the bag surface. Static shielding bags like StratoGrey go further—the buried metal layer creates a Faraday cage that blocks external ESD from reaching contents. For high-value or ESD-sensitive components, shielding bags provide superior protection.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate lenses and displays?
A: Yes. StratoGrey uses an amine-free interior formulation specifically to prevent the corrosion and hazing that amine-based materials cause on polycarbonate surfaces. No outgassing concerns for optical components.
Q: What size components fit in a 2x6 static shielding bag?
A: The 2x6 interior accommodates components up to approximately 1.5 x 5.5" with clearance for sealing. Common contents include DIP chips, small PCB assemblies, USB drives, memory cards, sensors, and electronic connectors.
