ESD PINK DISSIPATIVE BAGS

Description of pink ESD Dissipative antistatic bags

ESD Dissipative bags are specifically designed to manage and dissipate static charges in a controlled manner. Made from high surface resistivity materials (10^4 – 10^11 RS), these containers prevent the buildup of static charges that could lead to harmful electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. By equalizing the static potential difference between the container and ESD-sensitive components, they significantly minimize the risk of ESD damage.

These antistatic bags  are constructed from robust plastics such as polyethylene (PE) with added dissipative additives. The design often features a thinner outer layer to enhance dissipation efficiency. Importantly, they are not intended to protect against direct discharge; rather, they provide a cost-effective solution ideal for use within Electrostatic Protection Areas (EPA). Additionally, they are suitable for storing components that are not highly sensitive to static fields but require frequent handling and protection from direct discharge. Thus, ESD bags play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of sensitive electronic components in various environments.

Applications

• Inside EPA zones for safe handling of ESD-sensitive components.
• Storage of components with low to moderate sensitivity to static fields.
• Frequent handling environments where cost-effective ESD protection is essential.
• Ideal for industries requiring reliable static charge management without the high costs of complete shielding.
