Antistatic Stretch Film in Preventing Static Buildup
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a significant concern in packaging and shipping, particularly for electronics and flammable items, where products are vulnerable to static shocks. Antistatic stretch film plays a crucial role in preventing ESD damage, providing a sense of security and protection. It shields static-sensitive products, preventing the accumulation of ion and electron charges, and reducing tearing, clinging, and dust buildup caused by static charges.
What is an Antistatic Stretch Film?
An antistatic stretch film made of antistatic additives prevents the buildup of static charges and ensures packaged products are safe from them. It is commonly used for products that are sensitive to static electricity.
How Does Antistatic Stretch Film Work?
The antistatic stretch film is treated with a humectant additive and is tinted with a pink colour to give it its distinctive antistatic properties. Infused with humectant additives, the stretch film traps water molecules from the air to create a protective molecular barrier around the film. This barrier effectively dissipates any environmental static charges, reducing the risk of ESD and product damage during transportation and handling. The antistatic stretch film manufacturers offer this film in hand and machine grade, in different lengths, sizes and widths as per customer requirements. With its high-cling performance, this stretch wrap creates a strong, durable and excellent electrostatic protective shield for sensitive products and components.
Importance of Antistatic Stretch Film in Packaging of Sensitive Products & Components
Damages caused by static charges are an issue faced by many industries, especially in sensitive electronics and chemicals. An antistatic stretch wrap creates a molecular shield around sensitive products, preventing static buildup. It is used in the electronics industry for the packaging of sensitive goods. Manufacturers assemble electronic components that are sensitive to static buildup. This static discharge can cause damage to sensitive electronic components like circuit boards and microchips. Antistatic stretch film exhibits excellent mechanical properties and reduces static charges in electric assemblies, sensitive electronic devices, metal parts & components, etc.
Why the Antistatic Stretch Film in Pink Colour?
Its unique pink colour helps in the identification of static-sensitive equipment being transported and shipped, including electronic equipment, flammable products, chemicals & paints, etc. Also known as ESD safe stretch film, it minimizes the attraction of dust and particulates, keeping the products clean, securing and stabilizing the pallet loads.
