Sounds like the same problem an OEM of ours experienced some years ago. The
OEM had a grease like residue deposited on PWAs that were shipped in the
pink ESD bags. We traced the problem to what is known by the name "beef
fat"; don't recall what the exact chemical name is.
We now only allow the Type 1 bags per MIL-PRF-81705. These are aluminum
colored on the outside and black colored on the inside. We have not had any
recent problems with this type bag leaving any noticeable residue on
product.
