We used a dry box to store our prepreg when we had a fab shop. It was a VDS-4 four chamber vacuum drying system and came from Technical Products Co. 602-957-6892. These types of boxes are used in the semiconductor industry also and a cleanroom supply company could be another source depending on how big a box you want ---------- From: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Dry Box Source? Date: Monday, November 11, 1996 4:27PM Allen: A potential source would be Tera Universal 714-526-0100. BW Fellow technetters: We have been trying to identify a source for a "dry box". The "Dry Box" is a plexiglass box (or set of boxes), usually a door in the front, optional shelving, and a flow controller operating off readings of relative humidity. The box is used for storing moisture sensative plastic packaged devices (BGA, QFP, etc.) to avoid moisture absorption. The controller is plumbed to a low humidity air source (dry air, Nitrogen, etc.). When the relative humidity readings rise above a preset limit, the controller flows some source gas. In searching, the closest we have come is "Blue M" which distributes a product called a "Dry box" but is actually a dryer, more on the lines of an oven. Blue M suggested lab equipment manufacturers. Any potential sources would be greatly appriciated.
