ESD Protection

Our proprietary method of designing and making any of your packaging needs antistatic/static dissipative ensures the best electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for your product.

Having developed the current ESD Static dissipative standard with the U.S. military, Life Line Packaging is the only North American company with in-house capability to make a Static Dissipative packaging at the highest quality of dissipative standards available in the market.

All E-STAB-REL Carriers we produce are treated with “staticide” topical antistat solution that complies with the electrostatic criteria outlined in MIL-PRF-81705D and National Fire Protection Code 56A, as tested in accordance with Federal Test Standard 101C Method 4046, following guidelines established by the Official Military Handbook #263 outlining criteria for Electrostatic Discharge Control for electric and electronic devices, components, assemblies, and equipment called out in MIL-STD-1686C.

Sample specimens from all production runs of E-STAB-REL Carriers are tested by our in-plant laboratory, using a static decay measurement rate of 5000 volts to 0 volts. These measurements are made with an Electro Tech Systems Static Decay Meter, with Faraday Cage and Humidity Test Chamber. Testing is conducted at 15% relative humidity.

All staticide coated E-STAB-REL Carriers tested to date have shown an average static decay rate of .57 seconds or less for both positive and negative polarity charges.

E-STAB-REL Carriers contain no N-Octanoic acid.

The above Federal Test Standard 101C Method 4046 allows all packages with a decay rate of 2.0 seconds or less to be classified as SAFE ANTI-STATIC PACKAGING ACCEPTABLE TO ALL MILITARY STANDARDS.
