SCS PCL100R 36X500 Cleanroom Static Shielding Film, 36 in x 500 ft Roll
SCS PCL100R 36X500 Cleanroom Static Shielding Film, 36 in x 500 ft Roll
SCS PCL100R 36X500 is PCL100 Clean Series metal-in static shielding film supplied as a 36 in wide × 500 ft long roll. Designed for cleanroom packaging applications where surface particulates are a concern, this 2.8 mil laminate combines electrostatic discharge shielding with dissipative inner and outer surfaces. The 500 ft length provides five times the nominal material length of the 100 ft format at the same width.
This item is film rollstock, not pre-made bags or tubing. Cut and convert the material using a suitable, validated packaging and sealing process. The continuous format supports custom-size packaging without restricting the operation to standard bag dimensions.
The manufacturer's PCL100 film datasheet specifies IEST-STD-CC1246E Level 100 surface cleanliness. This is a surface-particulate cleanliness designation, not an ISO room-air classification or a statement of sterility.
Key Features
- Cleanroom-focused material: designed for packaging where surface particulate contamination is a concern.
- 36 in × 500 ft roll: continuous film for application-specific cutting and conversion.
- 2.8 mil metal-in laminate: protects ESD-sensitive contents from electrostatic fields and discharges when properly formed into protective packaging.
- Shielding below 10 nJ: tested per ANSI/ESD STM11.31.
- Dissipative inner and outer surfaces: allow charge removal when appropriately grounded.
- Embossed identification: ESD protective symbol and lot code support traceability.
- Made in the USA: manufactured in Sanford, North Carolina.
Best Uses / Applications
For cleanroom packaging operations handling ESD-sensitive electronic components and assemblies where discharge shielding and specified surface cleanliness are both important. Consider the 500 ft roll for recurring custom-packaging conversion and workflows where standard pre-made bags do not suit the item. Confirm material acceptance, finished-package construction and handling procedures against your facility's contamination-control and ESD requirements.

Choosing the Right Packaging Format
| Option | When to consider it | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| PCL100R 36X500 film roll | Recurring custom-size packaging conversion requiring PCL100 surface cleanliness and ESD shielding | 36 in wide, 500 ft long; film must be formed into the required package |
| PCL100R 36X100 film roll | A shorter material length better matches the operation | Same nominal width, one-fifth the roll length |
| PCL100 pre-made bags | Standard bag dimensions suit the item and reduce conversion steps | Select adequate clearance for item thickness and closure |
| General-purpose shielding film | ESD shielding is required | Do not assume PCL100 surface-cleanliness certification applies to another film series |
| Moisture barrier packaging | The application requires a specified moisture-vapor barrier | No moisture-vapor transmission rating is specified in this listing; do not substitute based on shielding performance alone |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does PCL100R 36X500 mean?
It identifies a PCL100 Clean Series film roll nominally 36 inches wide and 500 feet long.
Is this a roll of finished bags?
No. It is static shielding film rollstock. Cutting, forming and closure must be performed using a suitable packaging process.
How does it compare with the 100 ft roll?
This roll has the same nominal 36 in width and five times the length: 500 ft rather than 100 ft. Choose the format that fits your usage and handling requirements.
Why is film included with Cleanroom Bags?
It is cleanroom packaging material in the PCL100 family, offered as film rather than finished bags. It supports custom packaging conversion.
Does Level 100 mean ISO Class 5 or sterile?
No. IEST-STD-CC1246E Level 100 describes surface cleanliness. It does not establish a room-air classification or sterility.
What ESD protection does it provide?
The metal-in laminate has a discharge shielding specification below 10 nJ per ANSI/ESD STM11.31, with dissipative inner and outer surfaces. Finished-package construction, closure and handling remain important to protection.
Can it replace moisture barrier film?
Do not assume equivalence. Use a qualified moisture barrier material when your process requires defined moisture-vapor transmission performance.
How thick is it and where is it made?
The nominal thickness is 0.0028 inch, or 2.8 mil. SCS identifies the material as made in Sanford, North Carolina, USA.
