Add Corrosion Protection to Your List of ESD Packaging Benefits!
June 27, 2023
Electronics manufacturers and distributors, along with ESD managers, are very familiar with the concept of ESD packaging to safeguard electronics from the unseen but real damage of static discharge during shipping and handling. What many do not know, but are excited to learn, is that they can simultaneously get corrosion and ESD protection with the simple switch to EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags.
Two-in-One ESD/Corrosion Protection
As a baseline for electronics packaging, EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags contain long-term anti-static properties to eliminate static buildup independent of the surrounding humidity level. Going above and beyond ESD protection, these films and bags also contain Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that form a protective molecular layer on multi-metal surfaces—including ferrous metals, copper, brass, and solder—enclosed in the packaging. These VpCI® molecules do not affect plastics, solderability, or optical properties of the electronics and do not need to be removed for component installation. Such characteristics make corrosion protection, electrostatic dissipation, and packaging seamless. An added advantage is that EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 HP Permanent ESD Films are recyclable free of charge through Cortec’s/EcoCortec’s North American and European recycling partnership.*
Who Can Benefit?
Using EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags instead of ESD-only bags is a simple way for electronics manufacturers and distributors to reduce two risks at once and instill greater confidence that sensitive electronics will reach their destination in like-new condition. The extra protection is especially critical for unpredictable shipping conditions in which electronics pass through fluctuating temperatures and humidity that could create condensation and subsequent corrosion within the bag. EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags also open the door to exploring new cost-saving storage possibilities for large computer companies that have difficulty finding climate-controlled warehouses to rent in hot, humid areas of the world.
