Hi again Navid, Why do you think the anti-static bags are dark colored? Do you think maybe its the carbon in the plastic? End of story! Jim
I don't know why they are dark. Please tell us.
I measured the resistance of aluminum foil with a digital multimeter.

As can be seen in the picture, it measures about 0.4 Ohms.
Then, I measured the resistance of an antistatic bag.

As you can see from the picture, its resistance is higher than the meter can measure. It is higher than 20 Mega Ohms.
If you still think that antistatic bag is the same as Aluminum foil with respect to conductivity, could you explain these measurements?
