Anti-static anti-corrosion wrapping paper is recyclable

The paper is recyclable and re-pulpable, and does not contain nitrites, phosphates, silicates or hazardous compounds.

“This product eliminates static electricity build-up through the use of a coating made from soybean oil,” according to the company. “EcoSonic ESD Paper performs better on the static half-life test than papers with conventional static-dissipative
coatings consisting of alkyl ammonium chlorides, typical ethoxylated amines, typical imidazolines, phosphated esters, and nonionic based anti-static coatings.”

The paper is stable to at least 200°C (with caveats) said Cortec and effective against humidity, SO₂, H₂ and galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals, conforming to MIL-PRF-3420G (vapour inhibiting ability), ANSI/ESD STM11.11 and MIL-STD 3010 C Method 4046 D.

“Just wrap your products in the paper and fold the edges together with the printed logo side facing out,” said Cortec. “Use
adhesive tape as needed to hold paper folds in place. Parts protected by EcoSonic ESD Paper can be painted, welded and soldered – [the] paper does not influence physical properties of even the most sensitive electrical components, including conductivity and resistance.”

Recommended dose is 0.09m² (one square foot) of VpCI® paper for every 0.28m² (three square feet) of surface to be protected, and 0.09m² for every 0.01m³ (half a cubic foot) of void space.

Shelf life is one year, with best life in original packaging, indoors, out of direct sunlight at 4 – 38°C.

Use is foreseen with electronic assembles containing steel (carbon, stainless or galvanized), cast iron, aluminium alloys, copper, brass (≤30% Zn) and solder.
