RAM & Memory Module Antistatic Bags — 6 x 9 in., 4 mil Pink LDPE
These 6 x 9 inch pink antistatic bags are sized for DDR DIMM memory modules, small PCBs, compact sensor boards, and similar ESD-sensitive electronics. Manufactured from amine-free LDPE, they will not corrode polycarbonate housings or contact surfaces, and deliver consistent static dissipative performance even in low-humidity environments. Meets MIL-PRF-81705E Type II and EIA-541 standards with surface resistivity less than 1 x 10¹² ohms/sq.
Specs: 6 x 9 in. | 4 mil | Pink Antistatic LDPE | MIL-PRF-81705E Type II | EIA-541 Compliant
Applications
- DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 DIMM memory module ESD-safe storage and packaging
- Small PCB and development board protection during storage and transit
- Compact sensor, power module, and microcontroller packaging
- Electronics distribution kit assembly and ESD-protected shipment
- MRO electronics storage in low-humidity industrial environments
Features
- Amine-free formulation — will not corrode or cloud polycarbonate components and housings
- Superior ESD performance in low-humidity environments where standard bags may lose effectiveness
- Surface resistivity less than 1 x 10¹² ohms/sq — meets full static decay requirements
- MIL-PRF-81705E Type II and EIA-541 standards compliance
- Static dissipative protection (not Faraday shielding — for shielding, use metallic ESD bags)
- Compatible with heat sealing, tying, stapling, or taping
Material Notes
Manufactured from 4 mil pink-tinted antistatic LDPE. The amine-free formulation eliminates the chemical outgassing associated with traditional amine-based antistatic additives, which can cause surface corrosion or clouding on polycarbonate and ABS components. Pink antistatic bags are static dissipative only — they reduce triboelectric charge generation but do not provide the Faraday cage shielding of metallic anti-static bags. Gauge specification is nominal.
Use Case Notes
Standard DDR DIMM RAM sticks (2.25 x 5.25 inches) fit comfortably within the 6 x 9 bag footprint, allowing individual or paired module packaging. Development boards in Arduino Nano, Raspberry Pi Zero, and similar small form factors also fit this format. For full-size PCBs or larger assemblies, a larger antistatic bag size is recommended.
Common Questions
Q: What is the difference between pink antistatic and silver/metallic ESD bags?
A: Pink antistatic bags are static dissipative — they reduce charge buildup during handling but do not provide Faraday cage protection against external electrostatic fields. Metallic (silver) ESD bags provide both static dissipation and Faraday shielding. For components requiring shielding from external ESD events, metallic bags are required.
Q: Why does the amine-free formulation matter?
A: Traditional amine-based antistatic additives can migrate to component surfaces and cause corrosion or clouding on polycarbonate parts. Amine-free bags eliminate this risk, making them safe for direct contact with sensitive optical and plastic-bodied components.
Q: Do these bags meet low-humidity ESD requirements?
A: Yes. Unlike standard antistatic bags that lose effectiveness below approximately 20% relative humidity, these bags are formulated for reliable static dissipation in low-humidity industrial and cleanroom environments.
Why Buy
The amine-free, low-humidity-stable formulation addresses two common failure modes of standard pink antistatic bags — polycarbonate corrosion and humidity-dependent performance degradation. At 6 x 9 inches, this bag is purpose-matched to DIMM memory module and small PCB form factors without the excess material waste of oversized ESD packaging. MIL-PRF-81705E Type II and EIA-541 compliance supports use in aerospace, defense, and commercial electronics supply chains requiring certified ESD packaging.
