• Metal-In
• ASTM D 1003 Compliant: Transparent enough for barcodes to be scanned through the bag
• IEC 60417 6202 / ESD Rating of “S”: electrostatic discharge shielding
• ANSI / ESD S8.1 Compliant: ESD Protective Symbol and lot codes printed on bags
• Sizes reflect inner dimensions
• Amine and Amide Free
• RoHS and REACH Compliant
Static Shielding Bags are constructed of plastic and aluminum in a pattern known as “metal-in”.
The “metal-in” layer is composed of ESD shielding aluminum laminate that provides a conductive Faraday Cage around electronics inside the bag. This is what stops electrostatic discharges (ESD) from entering it.
The anti static outer layers are made of static-free polyethylene (PE) and polyester (PET). These prevent the bag from charging when it rubs against other surfaces.
All static shielding bags sold on Elimstat.com are lead-free, contain no amines, N-Octanoic acid, or heavy metals. This keeps them in compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH.
They have no effect on aluminum, copper, silver, SN-Pb coated foil, stainless steel, or low-carbon steel.
