Mil-Spec Packaging for ESD Protection

Military-Spec packaging is a standardization of packaging methods and materials developed by the US Department of Defense. Mil-Spec Packaging products are designed to prevent damage, enhance uniformity and ensure stringent quality packaging standards throughout the supply chain. The United States military has some of the strictest packaging standards in the world that provide protection for items during shipment, handling, storage and distribution. At Correct Products, we supply a huge selection of mil-spec packaging products for industrial applications and ESD protection.

Top Qualities to Consider in an ESD Chair

Humans feel the effects of static electricity every day. From shuffling across a carpet to shock a friend, to working in environments with high amounts of electricity, this unpleasant physical phenomenon requires special consideration to prevent.

For employees working in an environment such as an electronics assembly line or in electronics repair, the effects of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) pose a serious risk to the equipment, electronics, and materials necessary for operations. These incidents are common in the semiconductor, automotive, medical industries and on electronic assembly lines.

It is important for these work environments to equip themselves with high-quality materials and furniture scientifically designed to dissipate the effects of ESD. These industries will save thousands of dollars in repair costs and increase their productivity by taking simple steps for ESD protection.  Adding ESD chairs to compliment an existing ESD program is one way to prevent ESD from damaging expensive electronic components.

Vacuum Sealers 101

Vacuum sealing otherwise know as dry packaging is the process of removing oxygen from a bag with the goal of extending the shelf life and preserving the material or product inside the bag.  Industrial vacuum sealers are available in a variety of sizes and styles with features that can accommodate most any sealing application.

What is the Difference between Conductive and Static Dissipative?

Last Updated: August 2, 2022

Conductive and static dissipative are two subdivisions of ESD properties. Understanding the difference between these two materials can help you decide which options are the best for your environment. Components are divided into these categories based on their surface resistance, which is the measure of how easily electron charges can travel across the material.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Vocabulary

Below is a list of vocabulary words that can guide you and your team when creating a safe environment for ESD sensitive equipment. Whether you are seasoned in best practices for ESD protection or new to the industry, these terms are important to know.

Best Practices for ESD Protection

Standards for electrostatic discharge protection vary from company to company, but most businesses follow standards outlined by the ESDA, or the Electrostatic Discharge Association. Their standards represent the most comprehensive and updated protections in the industry. There is a huge variety of ESD products available, so when you consider creating best practices, keep ESDA standards in mind.
