Guidelines for Using Antistatic Bulk Bags: Safeguarding the Security of Sensitive Materials
2025-12-11 15:14
In fields such as electronics and chemical engineering, antistatic bulk bags serve as a “safety barrier” for sensitive materials. Their proper use is directly linked to the safety of goods and compliance with production regulations. Pre-use inspection is the first line of defense: it’s essential to confirm that the bag itself is free from tears or scratches, that the antistatic markings are clear and intact, and that the surface resistance, as measured by professional instruments, falls within the range of 10⁶ to 10¹¹ Ω to be considered合格 (qualified). Any defective products must be immediately removed from service.
The loading and handling stages must strictly control the generation of static electricity. When loading electronic components, flammable powders, and other such items, avoid vigorous friction. Maintain a space of at least 10 cm between the cargo and the bag opening. It is strictly prohibited to load sharp objects that could puncture the antistatic structure. When using Type C antistatic bags, ensure proper grounding according to regulations. The bag opening must be tightly sealed with a dedicated sealing device; do not use staples or other metal fasteners that could compromise the protective performance. During handling, keep the bags away from electrostatic-generating materials such as synthetic fibers and plastics, and handle them gently to minimize friction.
The storage environment must be dry and well-ventilated, with temperature and humidity controlled between 5-35°C and 40%-60%, respectively. Humidity below 40% significantly increases the risk of static electricity buildup. Additionally, the bags should be kept away from sources of ignition and strong electromagnetic fields. After use, reusable bags must be cleaned, thoroughly dried, and stored separately. Damaged bags, on the other hand, must be disposed of in accordance with hazardous waste regulations to prevent secondary misuse and potential safety hazards. By following these guidelines, you can fully harness the protective effectiveness of antistatic bulk bags.
