is created by vacuum deposited
manufacturing technique. This manufacturing
technique allows for a more flexible finished bag that is
less likely to tear or rip during use. Finished bags with
foil layer, such as Desco’s

provides a better moisture barrier and
is a good choice when having to meet IPC/JEDEC

Description
Desco Statshield
®
Moisture Barrier Bags
combine the
properties of a MOISTURE BARRIER protection with
EMI-RFI-ESD shielding. Statshield
®
Moisture Barrier
Bags meet the electrical and physical requirements
of ANSI/ESD S20.20, Packaging standard ANSI/ESD
S541, and Static Control Bag ANSI/ESD S11.4. All
Statshield
®
Moisture Barrier Bags are amide, amine,
and silicone free and pass outgassing and corrosion
tests. All bags are printed with ESD protective symbol
and the Moisture-Sensitive Identification Label and are
dated and lot coded for quality control traceability.
All three styles are available in a variety of standard
sizes, custom sizes and with custom printing.
Desco offers three styles of Moisture Barrier Bags:
Moisture Barrier Bags
- Static Control Bag ANSI/ESD S11.4 Level 2
- Thickness .0035" (.0889mm)
- Moisture Barrier Transfer Rate (MVTR) ≤ 0.020
- Puncture Resistance >20 lbs
High Moisture Barrier Bags
- Static Control Bag ANSI/ESD S11.4 Level 2
- Thickness .0065" (.1651mm)
- Moisture Barrier Transfer Rate (MVTR) ≤ 0.014
- Puncture Resistance >30 lbs
Foil (EMI/RFI) Moisture Barrier Bag
- Static Control Bag ANSI/ESD S11.4 Level 1
- Thickness .0040" (.1061mm)
- Moisture Barrier Transfer Rate (MVTR) ≤ 0.0003

Dry Packing Information
The Statshield
®
Moisture Barrier Bag, Desiccant Packs
and Humidity Indicator Cards have been developed for
use in “DRY PACKAGING” applications. In order for
the MBB bag and its accessories to perform properly,
Desco recommends the user follow procedures defined
in IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B.
DESICCANT
Desiccant
is a drying agent used to lower the moisture
content of air within a closed space, such as a
sealed Moisture Barrier bag. Desiccant is packaged
in fractional units in order to facilitate its usage with
a variety of bag sizes. One full “unit” of packaged
desiccant will absorb the following quantities of water
at equilibrium with air at 77°F (25°C): 3.00 grams @
20% rH and 6.00 grams @ 40% rH, when tested to
MIL-D-3464.
Desiccant packs are available from Desco in the
following unit sizes and standard packages:

Desiccant packs sold by Desco meet the requirements
of MIL-D-3464. For more detailed information, see
Drawing
13850.
HUMIDITY INDICATOR CARDS
Humidity Indicator Cards
contain chemically
impregnated, humidity sensitive, indicating spots that
will change color with moisture. The comparison bar is
used to determine relative humidity of air. Select the
indicating spot that most closely matches the color of
the comparison bar. The measured relative humidity
is the percentage indicated on the matching spot. The
chemical reaction of the indicating spots is completely
reversible; the spots will continue to change color as
the moisture levels change.
Figure 4. Desiccant packs
In order to provide a complete moisture barrier
packaging system, desiccant must be inserted into
the bag, prior to having the bag vacuum sealed. The
recommended amount of desiccant is dependent
on the interior surface area of the bag to be used.
Figure 5 is a reference table indicating recommended
minimum amounts of desiccant that should be used
with Moisture Barrier Bags.
