Cortec® EcoSonic® ESD Anti Static Paper is a Static Dissipative Corrosion Inhibitor Paper that will protect sensitive electrical items that are at risk of being damaged by electrostatic discharge in the supply chain.
EcoSonic® ESD anti static paper powered by Nano-VpCI®.
This ESD paper combines the world renowned Cortec VPCI corrosion inhibitors with static dissipation/anti static properties to deliver a complete paper packaging product for your valuable products.
For those looking to prevent static build up on their products EcoSonic ESD Paper performs exceptionally when compared to legacy ESD packaging materials.
The coating on the paper is derived from a Soybean oil that consistently performs well when conducting the static half life test against traditional ESD Paper products that often use Alkyl Ammonium Chlorides, Ethoxylated Amines, Phosphated esters & non ionic based anti static coatings.
The anti static coating used is also thermally stable up to temperatures of 200ºC, (392ºF) as well as being pH stable between 2 & 11 at temperatures in excess of 38ºC (100ºF) for days at a time.
In addition EcoSonic will provide contact, barrier and vapor corrosion protection for electronics made from both ferrous and non ferrous metals.
This unique, all in one product solution means that you can simple wrap your products for transport or storage whilst resting assured they will protected from both static electricity build up and corrosion.
Despite these impressive ‘multi functional’ performance qualities EcoSonic remains fully recyclable and repulpable and is too biodegradable & non-toxic.
This construction also uses the highest quality Kraft paper that is both natural & neutral. It is not bleached or chlorinated during manufacture and does not feature any of the common contaminations found in traditional VCI Paper Packaging.
There are no calculations to make, application systems or chemical tanks. Just simply wrap your items in the paper and fold or tape the edges together. (in some instances it may be practical to use a heat sealer machine).

Using this paper is wonderfully straightforward. You simply wrap your items in the paper, ensuring they are fully enclosed, and then fold or tape the edges securely together. For some applications, particularly when an airtight seal is beneficial for corrosion protection, you might even find it practical to use a heat sealer machine.
• Is it necessary to clean or prepare items before wrapping them in Valdamark Direct's EcoSonic® paper?
While the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper provides excellent corrosion protection, it's always best practice to ensure your items are clean and dry before wrapping. This helps to maximize the effectiveness of the VpCI technology and ensures the best possible long-term protection.
• Can this paper be used to line boxes or containers, or is it solely for wrapping individual items?
Yes, the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper is versatile! While it's excellent for wrapping individual items, you can certainly use it to line boxes, crates, or other containers. This creates an ESD-safe and corrosion-inhibiting environment within the larger packaging, offering a comprehensive protective solution.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• Is there a specific side of the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper that should face the product?
The product description highlights that the anti-static coating is applied to the paper. While the exact directionality isn't explicitly stated as critical for all its functions (like VpCI diffusing in the air), to maximize the direct contact corrosion inhibition and immediate static dissipation, it's generally good practice to have the coated side facing the item being protected.
• Can Valdamark Direct's anti-static paper be cut to size for specific applications?
Yes, absolutely. This paper is designed to be highly versatile, and you can easily cut it to whatever size and shape you need to fit your specific items or packaging requirements. This flexibility helps minimize waste and ensures efficient use of the material.
• If I use Valdamark Direct's anti-static paper, do I still need other forms of ESD protection like static shielding bags?
Valdamark Direct's EcoSonic® paper offers significant anti-static and static dissipative properties. For many applications, it can be a primary layer of ESD protection. However, for extremely sensitive components or in environments with very high static risks, a multi-layered approach, perhaps combining this paper with static shielding bags that create a Faraday cage effect, might offer the ultimate level of safeguarding. It often depends on the specific sensitivity of the electronics and the risk assessment of your environment.
• Can this paper be used in conjunction with desiccants or other moisture control products?
While the VpCI technology in Valdamark Direct's EcoSonic® paper offers a good degree of moisture protection by preventing corrosion, for extremely sensitive items or in highly humid environments where moisture itself could be a problem (not just corrosion), using desiccants in conjunction could provide an additional layer of moisture control, ensuring absolute dryness.
• Is the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper suitable for long-term storage or just transportation?
This paper is designed for both! Its integrated VpCI corrosion inhibitors provide long-term protection, making it excellent for extended storage periods, not just for transit. You can confidently store your valuable items wrapped in EcoSonic® paper, knowing they'll be protected from both static and corrosion for significant durations.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• How does the soybean oil-based coating contribute to the EcoSonic® paper's performance and environmental benefits?
The soybean oil-based coating is truly innovative. From a performance perspective, it's proven to be very effective in dissipating static charges, often outperforming older chemical coatings in static half-life tests. Environmentally, it makes the paper biodegradable, non-toxic, and avoids the use of harmful chemicals, aligning with more sustainable practices.
• What does "Nano-VpCI® powered" mean for the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper?
"Nano-VpCI® powered" refers to the advanced Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology integrated into the paper. This means that tiny, invisible VpCI molecules are released from the paper, forming a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces within the enclosed packaging. These molecules effectively prevent corrosion by interrupting the electrochemical reactions that cause rust and degradation.
• Does the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper leave any residue on the items it protects?
No, a significant advantage of the VpCI technology used in Valdamark Direct's EcoSonic® paper is that it typically leaves no residue on the protected items. The VpCI molecules evaporate and dissipate once the packaging is opened, leaving your products clean and ready for use.
• How does the paper's pH stability impact its performance in challenging environments?
The paper's pH stability (between 2 and 11) is crucial because it ensures the anti-static and corrosion protection properties remain effective even when exposed to environments that might be acidic or alkaline. This broad pH tolerance means the paper won't degrade or lose its effectiveness in contact with various substances or atmospheric conditions.
• What does "static half-life test" signify in the context of this anti-static paper?
The static half-life test is a standard method used to measure how quickly a static charge dissipates from a material. A lower static half-life indicates faster dissipation, which is highly desirable for anti-static materials like Valdamark Direct's EcoSonic® paper, as it means electrostatic charges are removed rapidly, reducing the risk of damaging discharges.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• Can the Valdamark Direct EcoSonic® paper be used with automated packaging machinery?
While the product description focuses on manual wrapping, as a high-quality Kraft paper, it's generally compatible with many automated packaging systems that handle paper-based materials. However, it's always wise to test it with your specific machinery to ensure optimal performance and feed.
