1. Are these samples you provided “ Clean Room” manufactured? ---these are for "clean room" applications

Static Intercept products (bags) and a related material, RIBS MVTR, can be processed to Class 100 and ISO Class 5.

2. Why are they individually packaged is it for handling reasons only? --- normally for handling reason. they need to ship the items intact to the next line. We would recommend reusable returnable Static Intercept totes

Container with corrosion

protection

the stored components don‘t need oils and /or other secundar protection materials.

permanent protection for components in ferrous

and nonferrous metals, alloys, plastics and

some organic materials

ESD Conductive containers without the addition of carbon black

constituents, improved wear properties,

washable

Container with

ESD- and corrosion protection

unique combination of ESD properties with

permanent protection against corrosion of

injection-molded containers

3. These samples are VCI? Or just the opaque white one? Or neither ? all are just ESD protection. No VCI We would recommend Static Intercept reusable bag for individual shipments.

Intercept is registered by EMI Corp.

Static Intercept®

Anti-Corrosive Permanently Static Dissipative Polyethylene Bags

Description Static Intercept

® is a revolutionary new

technology developed and patented by Bell Labs. Static Intercept

® combines the state

of the art in ESD and corrosion protection. AT&T determined that most latent defects are the result of corrosion. Corrosion can cause solderability problems, loss of performance and premature failure in the field. Only Intercept protects against both ESD and Corrosion.

EMI 2001

No other product protects like Intercept ESD properties are permanent and independent of humidity Does not outgas

Contains no volatile chemicals (no

amides or amines, no anti-stats) Will not contaminate components Tribo charging < 20 volts Cleanroom compatible Extremely low ionic contamination

Intercept is fully recyclable

5. Do the bags need to be translucent so we can see through them? the opaque yes, the gray ones not necessary. Intercept reusable totes would do away with the bags if individual packaging is required then

Static Intercept is black in colour 6. What happens to these items when they reach their destination at the receiving end. ----- they are

disposed to the trash. Intercept is returnable and reusable allowing for cost saving

The properties of INTERCEPT allow for more lean manufacturing and global assembly processes allowing oil-free production with high load utilization. The technology can be integrated in present material and container. Re-usable packaging containers and/or fully recyclable single-use packaging can be applied for best practice and cost optimization*.

7. Why are they 4mil thick< do these components have sharp edging? Yes. This would come down to using a returnable stacking or cushion style of bag or intercept thermoformed tray to carry the items in a Intercept returnable tote with separators or in cushioned bags 8. Are they packed directly stacked on top of each other or do they have separators ------ they are stock by tens and put inside the carton box

7

10. Are the components placed into the Static bag then they go into the VCI Bag. -- nope. (these are more on moisture barrier and ESD protection only) If moisture is a major issue Intercept is also available as a MVTR I feel if the Intercept Tote with desiccant will alleviate the M.V.T.R issue.

RIBS MVTR RReeaaccttiivvee IInntteerrcceepptt BBaarrrriieerr SSyysstteemm

Description: RIBS MVTR is a combination of two inventions that provides a reusable package with permanent electrostatic protection (ESD and EMI Shielding), full MVTR protection, and a self contained de-ionizer for corrosive gases. This heavily metalized laminated co-extruded film contains a single layer of two distinctly different properties. One side of the extruded film is a matrix of polymer and conductive carbon. The inside layer of the film is a static dissipative, non-sloughing, polymer with a backbone of reactive Copper that provides a membrane over the carbon layer. The resulting film provides 4 functions:

(1) A pathway for electrical charges to flow through the membrane to the conductive layer. (2) A pathway for free organic ions to flow through the membrane to be absorbed by the carbon. (3) A pathway for free inorganic ions to react with and be neutralized by the Copper in the membrane (4) A metalized polyester to provide EMI and ESD shielding and moisture barrier protection.

Highlights of Intel Crate Packing Specification ●Moisture Vapour Barrier Bag is required for all crates. A laminated vapour barrier will resist the transmission of water vapour (and other atmospheric gases). Intercept ® vapour barrier bags include electrostatic discharge protection as well as an integrated metal to prevent rust, corrosion, and retard mould growth. ●When clean, the tool, components, and accessories will be covered and enclosed in a 1 mil Corrosion Intercept ® stretch wrap or as required per OEM requirements with sticky side facing out. The Intercept stretch wrap creates a rust barrier. ●The material used for barrier bagging will be a Reactive Barrier plastic, trade named Static Intercept ®.
