RS PRO Moisture Barrier Bag 255mm(W)x 610mm(L)

RS PRO introduces a fantastic range of ESD static shielding bags. For versatile solutions to ESD protection, antistatic bags are a must-have. These bags are perfect for shielding items that need to retain their electrostatic discharge protection, these bags are able to provide anti-static protection for any item that can fit inside them. There are many static-sensitive electronic components and devices that must be protected from electrostatic discharge to prevent disruption to their working. An anti-static bag is a fantastic way of transporting an item outside of an ESD safe environment. These antistatic bags have an open top for easy access for packaging your components. This antistatic packaging is compact whilst still shielding your components.

• Heat seal-able anti static bags
• Top of the range ESD shielding
• Various bag dimensions to suit equipment
• Dissipative outer section, anti static interior
• Quoted dimensions are internal sizes
• Extra barrier to protect your components against moisture
• Seal strength of more than 12PSI
• Polycarbonate compatible

Antistatic bags come in two variants, those that are made with metallised film, and those that are made with polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). The metallised versions are usually silver in colour, and the PET versions are normally coloured pink. Bags are usually branded with an ESD symbol to clarify their use and can be resealable for multiple uses. They are ideal to use in various environments such as

Aerospace
Industrial equipment manufacturing
Semiconductor manufacturing
Electrical engineers
Telecommunications equipment manufacturing
Medical industry
Battery manufacturing

The RS PRO range of ESD safe bags have various methods of sealing, from heat seal for long term single use storage, or reclosable flaps and zippers for convenient re-use. There are metallised bags that are not only anti static but also static shielding. There are also bubble re-enforced ESD bags and pouches to offer impact protection, as well as moisture barriers for added confidence in long term storage. RS PRO also have a range of PET also called dissipative antistatic bags, these operate by having a dissipative coating. This coating prevents a static charge building on the bag by dissipating the charge to a ground. However, these bags are not resistant to ESD, and will not protect the contents from coming into contact with an item that is carrying a static charge.
There are black versions of PET antistatic bags that contain a trace amount of carbon. This provides partial shielding from static electricity.
