Why Is Everyone Talking About Anti-static Bag?
IT’S TIME TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Why choosing the right Anti Static bag and Anti Static flooring a smart move for businesses?
Ever wondered why your computer hard drive or laptop is wrapped in an anti-static bag when purchased? What are these used for? or how do they work?
There is a high amount of risk associated with electric components at the risk of being damaged when it comes to electrostatic discharges. This static electricity can be a major cause of damage to the internal circuitry of microprocessors or components rendering them useless or “fried”. Thus, with anti-static bags, for electronic, health, and military locations, anti-static flooring is often a beneficial and smart choice.
The very main purpose of Anti-static flooring is to help reduce possible electrostatic discharge, such flooring option is a must for industries where static can cause damage or interference to equipment or employees.
Prevention is better than cure
To prevent the components from becoming damaged we should use anti-static bags which helps to shield them from Tribocharging. Anti-static bags can be divided into two categories, StaticShielding bags, and dissipative anti-static bags, however, most people will just refer to them under the generic term “Anti-static bag”.
The material will not generate triboelectric charges on coming in contact with hair, plastic packaging fabrics, or any other insulators. Anti-static bags are made of an ESD coating which mitigates tribocharging resulting in reducing the probability of electric potential that certainly leads to ESD events. IC components, electronic devices, and other ESD sensitive devices are not safe from ESD events when handle, stored, or transported outside an ESD safe environment inside an anti-static bag.
Which bags are ESD safe and how to maintain anti-static flooring?
Anti-static bags which come in pink and blue color are only ESD safe for components inside of an EPA (ESD protected areas). The only bags that protect transportation outside of an ESD safe area or for a shipment are the static shielding ESD bags. Make sure that no ESD-sensitive components are shipped in blue or pink anti-static bags! With anti-static bags selecting the right anti-static flooring for your business can also be overwhelming with so many to choose from, that too if you are in search of options that are conducive to your industry.
