Anti-Static Plastic Bags & Anti-Static Poly Bags
This designation is often confusing to many seeking specific static protection. Here we will attempt to clear up any doubt about the meaning of the terminology.
Polyethylene has a natural tendency to produce static. This can result in a variety of problems, but the most common is having substances stuck inside of a bag during the process of emptying the bag or tubing. Light or powdered particles can stick to the sides of bags that are not produced as “Anti-Static,” making the bags impossible to empty completely.
Products designated as “Anti-Static” contain an additive that reduces the likelihood of a static buildup. It’s important to note that it “reduces” the likelihood, but it does not always eliminate such a possibility. The more dry the climate, the more likely the bags are to produce some static.
Anti-Static Bags and Tubing do dot protect against static originating outside of the package. For that level of protection, see our full selection of ESD products.
Our stock Anti-Static Poly Bags are all sold with the universally recognizable pink tint added. The light pink, albeit transparent, color tells the end user that the bag is made to reduce the likelihood of static buildup. We can custom manufacture poly bags with antistat in clear or almost any other color you want.
