ESD film prevents corrosion and static damage for most sensitive electronics

EcoCortec, the European subsidiary of Cortec Corporation, has recently launched revolutionary EcoSonic VpCI-125 PCR HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags, made with a guaranteed 30% post-consumer recycled content of high, consistent quality. This is the world's first permanent ESD film powered by Nano-VpCI with a high content of post-consumer recycled plastic. High-performance anti-static, corrosion-inhibiting film and bags target the protection of static-sensitive multi-metal items such as electronics. The ESD film and bags have been developed with a high amount of PCR content for efficient recovery, recycling, and reuse of resources to minimise the economy's negative ecological footprint. They help customers fulfil their sustainability goals without compromising quality specifications related to mechanical, corrosion-inhibiting properties and static discharge.

Throughout their lifecycle, electronics face threats like ESD and corrosion. Even minor static charges can seriously damage these sensitive components. This ESD film offers a comprehensive and environmentally friendly protection solution. By providing ESD and corrosion prevention, this film will protect electronics at every stage, from production to shipment. The ESD films and bags contain permanent anti-static properties to immediately lower or eradicate static buildup as long as they are in use, independent of the presence of humidity. A molecular corrosion-inhibiting layer is formed on metal substrates and does not interfere with electronic components' physical or chemical properties. Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) protect void spaces and recessed areas.

The ESD films and bags are aimed at packaging static-sensitive components where triboelectric charge generation and corrosion are concerns. They are recommended for packaging integrated circuits, PCBs, PCB components, telecommunications equipment, electronic and electrical panels, and enclosures. The ESD films and bags will not affect optical properties, plastics used in the electronics industry or solderability of PCB or parts (IPC-J-STD-003C). The product conforms to NACE Standard RP 0487-2000 and MIL-PRF-81705, IEC 61340-5-1.
