CRITICAL PROTECTION
WHERE STORAGE & PRESERVATION DAMAGE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP
Ordinary shelf storage exposes a component to humidity and air over time, even without ever being opened or handled.
The component looks the same after a week as it does after a year. The difference only becomes apparent once it's finally used.
A spare part or long-held component fails on first use, well after it was ever inspected.

Common Questions
Q: What package sealing technology is best for multi-year warehouse storage?
A: We use heavy-duty (6-mil+) foil-laminated Moisture Barrier Bags (MBBs) hermetically sealed with industrial vacuum nitrogen-flush sealers. Replacing ambient oxygen and moisture with dry nitrogen gas completely halts chemical oxidation and moisture degradation.
Q: Do plastic trays degrade and cause ESD leaks over a 5-year storage window?
A: Low-end antistatic coatings wash off or wear away, losing ESD effectiveness over time. For long-term preservation, we use materials formulated with carbon powder or inherently dissipative polymers (IDPs) that maintain permanent, non-migratory ESD characteristics.
