How Do Mylar Bags Protect Electronics?
Do you ever wonder how our smartphones, tablets and other electronics remain dry and secure? Enter: Mylar bags. Powered by Mylar bags are constructed of a unique material called polyester film, which is incredibly strong and moisture resistant. Packing our electronics in Mylar bags gives us a layer of protection against any water or humidity that could potentially damage our controller. It’s like taking our tech toys and wrapping them up in their own little toasty house so they can stay nice and dry.
The science behind Mylar bags and how they repel moisture
These aren't your average bags; they are FILLED WITH SCIENCE. The answer is the polyester film that these sheets are made from. This special material is then covered with a thin layer of metal (most commonly aluminum) to give Mylar bags their shiny look. And it’s this metallic coating that makes Mylar bags such good barriers to moisture. When water or atmospheric moisture attempts to crawl inside, the metallic layer repels it, sort of the way a superhero might deflect a villain’s attack. So our electronics (umbrella) stay protected and dry inside the Mylar bag (umbrella) - just like how we stay dry on a rainy day with an umbrella.
Storing your electronics in Mylar bags to protect them from static
Static electricity may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s very much a real threat for our electronics. When we poke or slide our gadgets, we can create static electricity and zap them with a charge, thereby injuring or damaging sensitive circuits and chips inside. And that is where a Mylar bag comes in handy. The polyester film in Mylar bags is a built-in anti-static material so that it prevents the build-up of static electricity on our devices. So by sticking our electronics in some Mylar bags we can be sure that they’re safe and sound, away from external shocks and surprises.
Why you need Mylar bags if you're storing electronics
Mylar bags are the protective shields provided by us for our electronic equipment against all kinds of threats. From moisture to static electricity, and even dust and debris, mylar bags have us covered. In addition to being light, flexible and easy to use, they are the ideal way to store our gizmos. This prevents our electronics from breaking in the long run, so that our electronics continue to run for a long long time. So, if you want to keep your devices as pristine as possible, make sure you have a Mylar bag handy.
