Anti-Static Foam

Anti-Static Foam

Anti-static foam is a high-quality material specifically engineered to prevent static buildup and provide critical protection for sensitive electronic components during handling and transport. With a medium-firm texture and unique anti-static properties, this foam gradually dissipates static charges, protecting valuable electronic assets like circuit boards, computer chips, and other electro-sensitive components from static discharge damage. Its performance and longevity make it an ideal choice for packaging and transporting sensitive equipment in industries where static protection is paramount.

Special Properties

Anti-static foam's distinctive properties make it indispensable in applications where static control is essential. The foam's density of 1.4 pounds per cubic foot provides the optimal balance between firmness and cushioning. Its hardness rating (25% ILD of 35 pounds) makes it both durable and compressible enough to protect delicate electronics while absorbing physical impact safely.

  • Electrostatic Dissipation - Anti-static foam gradually dissipates electrostatic charges, providing protection against ESD throughout the handling, storage, and shipping stages. This makes it ideal for environments where static discharge is a risk, such as electronics manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping facilities.
  • Structural Integrity and Durability - With a tensile strength of at least 13.0 PSI, tear resistance of 1.30 PPI, and an elongation rate of at least 200%, anti-static foam withstands stress and strain during transport. Its resilience rating of 35% ensures it recovers shape after compression, ideal for repeated use in packaging.
  • Safe and Environmentally Considerate - The foam contains trace amounts of fire retardant additives and complies with fire safety standards. Notably, it is free from polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), making it a safer option for environments with strict safety and environmental regulations.
  • Versatile Cushioning Options - For sensitive and precision-packaged electronics, egg-crate anti-static foam offers additional cushioning by dispersing impact forces and providing a firm, secure fit. Its textured surface enhances stability within the packaging, and its distinctive appearance lends a polished, professional look.

Applications

Anti-static foam is widely used to package sensitive components such as circuit boards, semiconductors, and computer processors. It offers superior protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), reducing the risk of damage during shipping and handling.

Designed specifically for high-value and precision electronic parts, anti-static foam cushion equipment minimizes exposure to ESD during transportation. Its resilience provides added security against impact and vibration.
