Why is Dissipative Impregnated Corrugated Material the Best Choice for ESD Control Packaging?
Impregnated Material
-
Consistent Quality
Manufactured by one paper mill with computerized control, resulting in consistent high quality
-
Better Shielding Effectiveness
Shielding effectiveness is equal to or greater than coated conductive materials
-
State-of-the-art Technology
Carbon is added during the paper making process. The paper is a 6 layer process. The top surface layer is static dissipative, measuring 1 x 106 to <1 x 109 ohms. The conductive layer is in the 5th layer from the surface measuring < 1 x 104 ohms
Coated Material
-
Inconsistent Quality
Manufactured without computer controls and applied at various geographical locations, resulting in quality variations
-
Poor Shielding Effectiveness
Some coated products shield poorly due to inconsistent application procedures by some manufacturers
-
Outdated Technology
Material is coated or printed with carbon loaded black ink which is then coated with a clear sealer to help coating stay on. Shielding layer is very close to surface and high carbon content can bleed through, resulting in poor and inconsistent effectiveness
