Description
These products are made of an antistatic polyethylene film that under normal working conditions doesn't generate triboelectric
charges. The film is tough, amine free, does not affect polycarbonate housings and does not cause corrosion. The product is
transparent and tinted pink. It is available in a range of bag sizes as well as roll widths. Typical film thickness is 75 micron.
Bags are hot foil printed in black or yellow, with a descriptive text and logo to comply with
EN100015 Part 1.
The film is designed for use as packaging for
non-ESD sensitive
devices that are required in ESD protected areas e.g. passive
components, screws. The antistatic properties are long lasting provided the film is stored in a cool dry place. Do not store outside and
do not expose the film to heat or store in an overheated warehouse.
