18x24 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - Electronics-Grade ESD Protection
StratoGrey static shielding bags from LK Packaging deliver professional-grade ESD protection for sensitive electronics, circuit boards, and components. The 18x24" size accommodates larger PCBs, server motherboards, industrial control panels, and assembled electronic modules requiring reliable static discharge prevention during storage and transit.
Specs: 18 x 24" | Buried metal construction | Semi-transparent | Amine-free interior | 200/case | 3/8" side seal
Faraday Cage Protection
The buried metal layer construction creates a true Faraday cage effect, providing double protection against electrostatic discharge. Unlike simple anti-static bags that only prevent static buildup, StratoGrey shielding bags actively block external static fields from reaching contents. This makes them essential for shipping and storing ESD-sensitive components rated ANSI/ESD S20.20 Class 0 and Class 1.
Commercial Applications
Electronics manufacturers rely on 18x24 static shielding bags for packaging assembled PCBs, LCD panels, and control boards before shipment. Data center operations use this size for server components, RAID controllers, and network interface cards. Medical device manufacturers package sensitive diagnostic equipment and monitoring system boards. Aerospace and defense contractors specify shielding bags for mission-critical avionics components requiring documented ESD protection protocols.
Key Features
- Buried Metal Construction: Creates Faraday cage for complete electrostatic shielding
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing
- Semi-Transparent Material: Allows visual identification of contents without opening
- 3/8" Side Seal: Ensures packaging integrity during storage and handling
- Seal-Top Closure: Easy access for contents requiring multiple inspections
- Reusable Design: Ideal for components accessed multiple times during assembly
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between anti-static bags and static shielding bags?
A: Anti-static bags only prevent static buildup on the bag surface. StratoGrey static shielding bags contain a buried metal layer that creates a Faraday cage, actively blocking external static fields from reaching contents—essential for highly sensitive components.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate components?
A: Yes. The amine-free interior formulation prevents corrosion of polycarbonate surfaces and produces no outgassing, making StratoGrey bags safe for optical components, display housings, and medical device enclosures.
Q: What size circuit boards fit in an 18x24 bag?
A: This size accommodates boards up to approximately 17x23" with minimal clearance. For boards requiring cushioning or documentation inserts, consider sizing down to 16x22" maximum board dimensions.
