For U.S. military contractors, ensuring the protection and reliability of defense electronics is crucial to mission success. From communication systems to radar equipment, these sensitive components must endure harsh environments while maintaining optimal performance. One of the best ways to safeguard these electronics is through custom aluminum barrier foil bags. 3D Barrier Bags, Inc.™ offers packaging solutions designed to meet your unique challenges and helps extend the lifespan of critical electronics.
Proven Protection Against Moisture Vapor and Humidity
Moisture vapor is a significant threat to defense electronics. Electronics exposed to high humidity, condensation, or oxygen ingress can suffer corrosion or oxidation, which can cause degraded performance. This risk is especially high in tropical climates, deserts and during naval operations on open seas. A U.S. Department of Defense study found that corrosion alone costs the military more than $20 billion annually, with a significant portion resulting from moisture damage to electronics!
3D Barrier Bags, Inc.™ offers custom aluminum barrier foil packaging to prevent moisture vapor, oxygen and other outside contaminants from entering the packaging. These bags are manufactured to fit the dimensions of your product, so there is no waste and facilitate an easy load process. The layer of pure aluminum within the laminate creates a moisture vapor resistance shield that protects sensitive electronics. Using our 3D016SL material, you can lower the moisture vapor transmission rate to less than <0.0006 grams per 100 inches2 per 24 hours.
Prevents Oxidation
Oxygen exposure is another threat that can lead to the oxidation of metal components within defense electronics. Over time, oxidation can degrade materials and cause equipment malfunctions, which can be catastrophic during defense operations. Given the U.S. Department of Defense’s significant annual maintenance costs due to oxidation-related issues, there’s a clear need for reliable packaging that can block oxygen exposure.
Our custom aluminum barrier foil packaging is proven to reduce oxygen transmission to less than <0.00006cc per 100 inches² per 24 hours, significantly minimizing the risk of oxidation. By incorporating these packaging solutions, defense contractors can dramatically lower the likelihood of oxidation-related equipment failures, ensuring reliable performance over extended storage or transport periods. Combine that with our desiccant sachets, and your products could be protected for up to 25 years.
Effective Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Protection
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt or degrade the performance of sensitive military electronics, including communication devices, radar systems, and guidance technologies. 3D Barrier Bags, Inc.™ offers packaging solutions that comply with the mil-spec MIL-PRF-81705.
Cost Savings and Durability
Switching to custom aluminum barrier foil bags from 3D Barrier Bags, Inc.™ can provide significant cost savings for U.S. military contractors and defense manufacturers. By extending the lifespan of defense electronics and preventing damage from moisture vapor, oxygen, and electromagnetic interference, manufacturers can reduce the need for repairs, replacements, and maintenance.
Additionally, custom bag solutions are designed to fit specific equipment sizes and shapes, ensuring that every part of the electronics is fully protected with no wasted material. Our bags meet U.S. military specifications, making them a trusted choice for defense electronics manufacturers seeking durability and reliability.
