Films Protective Company is a manufacturer of static dissipative polyethylene film for non-adhesive ESD packaging, liner bags, and rollstock conversion. The transparent or semi-transparent PE film helps reduce charge build-up during handling, storage, and movement of electronic components. It is available as flat film, tubing, sheeting, or converted bags for IC, PCB, FPC, semiconductor, and precision-component outer packaging. Surface resistance, static decay, thickness, width, slit condition, and converting requirements are selected for the packaging process.
Product Overview
Static dissipative polyethylene film is made for wrapping, separation, bag conversion, and tote-box lining rather than surface attachment. A standard anti static polyethylene film can suit routine packing. For low-humidity workshops, longer storage, or repeated turnover, a more stable dissipative grade should be considered.
The right anti static plastic film roll depends on how it will run through the packaging process. Flat film works for wrapping and layer separation. Lay-flat tubing allows bag lengths to be heat sealed as needed. Sheeting is practical for trays, cartons, and tote boxes. Where visual checks matter, a clear anti-static PE film or semi-transparent grade keeps labels and barcodes readable without opening each package.
Thickness and width should not be selected by part size alone. Component weight, sharp edges, packing speed, seal strength, storage period, and repeated handling matter. For precision electronics, inspect slit-edge cleanliness, winding stability, gel points, blocking, and heat-seal results before conversion.
The product overview distinguishes non-adhesive ESD packaging film from adhesive electronics protection film. Static-dissipative performance is a functional modification added to a selected PE base and structure. See how functional polyethylene films are classified before comparing electrical grades with ordinary LDPE, LLDPE or HDPE film. The product page should then continue with its electrical test conditions and conversion formats.
Benefits
- Helps control charge build-up during bagging, storage, and turnover handling.
- Keeps labels and components visible through transparent or semi-transparent PE packaging.
- Supports flat film, tubing, sheeting, bags on rolls, bottom-seal bags, and liner-bag conversion.
- Allows electrical performance, dimensions, and roll condition to be checked by batch.
- Helps identify migration, blooming, outgassing, loose particles, and contamination risks before release.
- Matches thickness, slit width, winding direction, edge cleanliness, and sealing performance to the converting line.
When Is a Static Dissipative PE Liner Suitable, and When Should Additional Shielding Be Considered?
A static dissipative PE liner is suitable for tote-box lining, separator sheets, bag conversion, and controlled turnover inside an ESD-protected area. It helps manage charge created by friction and movement. When sensitive components leave the protected area, assess the full packaging structure separately. A dissipative inner bag can still be useful, but the outer pack may also need discharge-shielding performance based on component sensitivity, handling route, and transport risk.

Applications
- IC, semiconductor, and precision-component outer packaging
- PCB and FPC turnover bags, liners, and separator sheets
- Electronic-component tote-box liners and internal handling protection
- Heat-sealed bags for clean packing, storage, and controlled movement
- Non-adhesive ESD packaging for electrical components requiring clean handling and controlled charge dissipation
How Should Surface Resistance and Static Decay Be Verified Before Repeat Rollstock Conversion?
Surface resistance should not be treated as a catalogue number only. Before repeat conversion, record the test method, temperature, relative humidity, conditioning time, film side, and sample position. For critical orders, compare MD and TD specimens and take samples from the roll head, middle, and tail. Check static decay under an agreed initial voltage and cutoff level. Release approval should cover slit-edge cleanliness, winding direction, heat-seal suitability, appearance, migration or blooming, lot identification, and the retained approved sample.
FAQ
Is static dissipative polyethylene film adhesive?
No. It is a non-adhesive PE packaging film for wrapping, liner conversion, turnover protection, and bag making.
Can the film be supplied as bags or tubing?
Yes. Roll film, tubing, sheeting, and converted bags can be specified for the packaging process.
Does one dissipative PE bag replace shielding packaging?
Not always. For sensitive components moved outside an ESD-protected area, assess the outer packaging separately.
What should be confirmed for repeat orders?
Confirm the approved grade, electrical test record, dimensions, slit condition, winding direction, heat-seal performance, lot identification, and retained sample.
