16x18 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - Faraday Cage ESD Protection
StratoGrey static shielding bags by LK Packaging provide advanced ESD protection for sensitive electronic components. The buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage barrier, delivering double protection against electrostatic discharge during handling, shipping, and storage. These 16x18 bags accommodate larger circuit boards, subassemblies, and electronic equipment.
Specs: 16 x 18" | Buried metal shielding | Semi-transparent | 3/8" side seal | 200/case | Amine-free interior
Applications
The 16x18 StratoGrey size handles mid-to-large format electronics including motherboards, PCB assemblies, power supplies, and control modules. Electronics manufacturers use these bags for work-in-progress protection between assembly stages. Distribution centers rely on them for shipping replacement parts and warranty items. Data centers and IT departments stock this size for storing and transporting server components, network cards, and peripheral electronics. The reusable seal-top closure makes these bags ideal for components requiring multiple access cycles during testing, rework, or inventory management.
Key Features
- Buried Metal Construction: Creates true Faraday cage shielding that blocks external static fields from reaching contents
- Amine-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces - prevents corrosion and produces no outgassing that could damage sensitive components
- Semi-Transparent Material: Allows visual identification of contents without opening the bag, improving inventory management
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seal ensures packaging integrity during storage, shipping, and repeated handling
- Seal-Top Closure: Reclosable design enables multiple access cycles without compromising ESD protection
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a buried metal layer that creates a Faraday cage, blocking external static charges from reaching contents. Standard anti-static (pink poly) bags only prevent static generation from the bag itself but don't shield against external discharge. For ESD-sensitive components, shielding bags provide superior protection.
Q: Can I reuse these static shielding bags?
A: Yes. The seal-top closure design allows multiple open/close cycles. Bags remain effective as long as there are no punctures or tears in the shielding layer. Inspect bags before reuse and replace any with visible damage.
Q: Why does the amine-free interior matter?
A: Some ESD bag materials contain amines that can corrode polycarbonate surfaces and other sensitive plastics. StratoGrey's amine-free interior is safe for extended contact with polycarbonate components, optical drives, and other susceptible materials.
