The Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard delivers professional-grade static and electromagnetic shielding in a lightweight, cost-effective roll format. This 4-layer aluminized material combines true translucency with reliable ESD and moderate EMP protection, making it the ideal choice for users who need to visually confirm contents while maintaining a static-safe environment. Widely used by electronics manufacturers, repair technicians, and preppers, the Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil offers an excellent balance of performance, flexibility, and affordability for custom bags, liners, pouches, or full-device wraps.

Unlike opaque heavy-duty barriers, the Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard allows light to pass through, so you can quickly identify sealed items without opening the enclosure. Its heat-sealable construction supports vacuum packaging and permanent closures, while the proven 4-layer design meets stringent industry standards for electrostatic discharge protection. Sold in convenient 1-yard increments at 36 inches wide, this roll format minimizes waste and maximizes creativity for both small-scale and production-level projects.

Technical Specifications

Every inch of the Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard is engineered and tested to deliver consistent, verifiable performance:

• Thickness: 3.0 mil (MIL-STD-3010C Method 1003)
• EMI Attenuation: Approximately 10 dB per layer across 1–10 GHz (laboratory verified)
• ESD Shielding: <10 nJ energy discharge (ANSI/ESD STM11.31)
• Surface Resistivity: Conductive inner and outer layers meeting ANSI/ESD S541 requirements
• Light Transmission: Translucent – contents remain visible under normal lighting
• Layers: 4-layer construction with aluminized metal shielding layer and static-dissipative coatings
• Compliance: Tested to ANSI/ESD S541 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 program standards; ROHS compliant and lead-free
• Dimensions: 36 inches wide × 1 linear yard (36" × 36")
• Heat Sealable: Yes – suitable for impulse sealers and vacuum sealing
• Puncture Resistance: Superior to standard polyethylene films of equivalent thickness

Key Features

The Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard stands out with practical advantages that streamline workflow and enhance protection:

• True translucency lets you see sealed devices, labels, or serial numbers without breaking the shield
• 4-layer aluminized design provides reliable static dissipation and moderate EMP/EMI blocking
• Lightweight 3 mil profile cuts and folds easily for rapid prototyping or high-volume production
• Fully heat-sealable for airtight, permanent closures or reusable tape-sealed applications
• Compatible with Faraday Defense EMI copper tape for non-heat-sealed edges
• Cost-effective shielding solution for laptops, tablets, hard drives, radios, and medical devices
• ROHS compliant and lead-free – safe for global export and environmentally conscious users
• Vacuum-compatible for long-term archival storage of sensitive electronics

Users across industries trust the Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil for everyday ESD protection and moderate electromagnetic shielding. Repair centers create custom anti-static sleeves in seconds, field technicians wrap diagnostic tools on-site, and preparedness-minded individuals build lightweight Faraday cages that still allow visual inventory checks. The translucent quality eliminates the guesswork common with opaque bags, saving time and reducing errors in high-throughput environments.

Heat Sealing Guidelines

Achieve strong, reliable seals with standard packaging equipment:

• Temperature: 400 °F (204 °C)
• Dwell Time: 0.6 – 4.5 seconds
• Pressure: 30 – 70 PSI (206 – 482 KPa)

For non-heat applications, pair with Faraday Defense EMI copper tape to maintain continuous shielding across seams.

Usage Recommendations

For maximum effectiveness, ensure complete enclosure with at least 2-inch overlaps on all seams. The Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard excels in controlled indoor environments and short- to medium-term outdoor use when protected from abrasion. Grounding is not required for basic ESD protection, but connecting to earth via conductive tape enhances performance against larger transients.

In summary, the Faraday NEST-Z 3 Mil Translucent Barrier ESD EMP Protection 36"x1 Yard merges visibility, compliance, and genuine shielding into one versatile roll. Whether you manage a repair bench, stock a data recovery lab, or simply want peace of mind for critical electronics, this material delivers professional results at an accessible price point.
