Anti-static pouches allow products to be shielded from electrostatic charges and devices to be protected from shocks, abrasions, blows, dust, moisture, water and temperature changes. It is essential in order to prevent charging of a device from an external electrostatic field or contact with a charged body,
since rubbing to the packing material represents a real charge generator.
The internal antistatic agents found in the polyethylene of the pouches protect against electrostatic charges, while the external ones must be constantly applied to the surface, as washing the surface removes them.
