Product Description
Ultra-Lightweight ESD IC Tubes for Air Freight
These lightweight anti-static IC tubes are designed for semiconductor parts that must be protected during air freight, express shipping and line-side handling. The low-density, high-rigidity construction reduces packaging weight while keeping components aligned inside the tube. It is a practical option for exporters shipping large quantities of ICs, modules and other static-sensitive devices.
Key Benefits
- Weight-optimized construction can reduce packaging mass compared with conventional rigid tubes, subject to the approved profile and wall thickness.
- Surface resistance is available in the 106–1010 ohm range for controlled electrostatic protection.
- Rigid profiles help resist bending, crushing and component movement during transport.
- Compatible with matching end plugs, caps, cartons and automated component-loading processes.
- Custom profile, length, wall thickness and color options are available for different component packages.

Applications
Recommended for ICs, semiconductor modules and sensitive electronic components shipped by air or express courier. The final tube profile should be matched to the component body, leads and loading direction to prevent rotation, jamming or lead damage.
How to Request a Custom Tube
Send the component drawing or sample, required tube length, quantity, packing method and target ESD range. AcePlas will review the profile, material and wall thickness before quotation or sampling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the tube be customized for an existing end plug?
Yes. Provide the plug dimensions or a physical sample so the tube profile and closure fit can be checked together.
Is the lightest tube always the best option?
No. Weight reduction must be balanced against rigidity, impact resistance and the component geometry. The approved sample should be tested in the intended packing and transport conditions.
