About the I-Vac EMI Shielding & ESD Anti-Static Vacuum Bags

I-Vac ESD bags

The one LAVA bag that isn't for food

A circuit board on metallised LAVA I-Vac anti-static bags

I-Vac shares the Swiss-made multilayer construction of the R-Vac and RS-Vac, with a metallised barrier layer in place of the food bags' PA/PE structure. That changes what it protects against: it packs electronic components and assemblies airtight, static-free and moisture-proof.

Protection

Three kinds of protection in one bag

  1. 01

    Electrostatic discharge

    PCBs, semiconductors, ICs, processors and memory are sensitive to discharges too small to feel. A plain plastic bag holds a charge; the metallised layer dissipates it.

  2. 02

    Electromagnetic interference

    The metallised barrier acts as a Faraday barrier around the contents: for defence electronics, precision instruments and sensitive sensors.

  3. 03

    Moisture and oxygen

    A water vapour transmission rate below 0.0003g per 100 square inches a day.

LAVA I-Vac metallised anti-static vacuum bags

A dry pack

Vacuum sealing takes the air out of the pack, and the metallised barrier stops moisture vapour from coming back through the film in long storage. Together they give the dry pack that moisture-sensitive devices need when stored and shipped to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.

Standards

Specified for ESD packaging

  • MIL-B-81705 Type 1, Class 1: the US military specification for ESD barrier bags
  • IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033: handling, packing and shipping of moisture-sensitive devices
  • EIA 541 and EIA 583: packaging for ESD-sensitive items
  • EIA 625: handling of ESD-sensitive devices
  • EOS/ESD standard: electrostatic overstress and ESD protection

Compliance documentation for procurement is available on request from LAVA Australia.

Machines

External sealers and chamber packers

Sealing I-Vac bags on a stainless steel LAVA vacuum sealer

I-Vac seals on external vacuum sealers, all LAVA vacuum sealers included, and on chamber vacuum packers. With a non-LAVA sealer, check first that it seals the metallised composite. For the widest sizes, 30×47 and 46×46cm, make sure your seal bar covers the whole bag opening.

What it's for

PCBs and electronic assemblies, semiconductors and ICs, memory and processor modules, precision instruments and sensors, moisture-sensitive devices that need dry-pack storage, and defence and aerospace electronics. Custom sizes from 2,000 bags: contact LAVA Australia.

04 · FAQ

Common questions

Can I use the I-Vac bags with a standard external vacuum sealer?
Yes. The metallised foil needs a machine that can seal the composite material; all LAVA vacuum sealers do. With a non-LAVA sealer, check its foil compatibility before ordering.
Can I use these with a chamber vacuum packer?
Yes. The I-Vac works with both external sealers and chamber vacuum packers.
Do these bags meet the MIL-SPEC for ESD packaging?
Yes. The I-Vac meets MIL-B-81705 Type 1, Class 1, the US military specification for ESD protective barrier bags. Contact LAVA Australia for compliance documentation.
What is the moisture barrier performance?
The water vapour transmission rate is below 0.0003g per 100 square inches a day, meeting MIL-B-81705. With vacuum sealing, that gives a dry pack for moisture-sensitive devices stored and shipped to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.
Can I order a custom size?
Yes, from 2,000 bags. Contact LAVA Australia about dimensions, compliance requirements and pricing.
