Antistatic

Static electricity can damage electronic components or even cause safety hazards. We incorporate antistatic additives during the manufacturing process to create foams that can dissipate electrostatic discharge (ESD). Engineered for consistent conductivity and cushioning performance, they’re ideal for packaging, storage, and transport in high-tech environments.

Mechanism of Action

Antistatic additives increase the surface conductivity of the foam, allowing static charges to dissipate harmlessly rather than building up.

Key Benefits

  • ESD Protection

    Prevents damage to electronic devices from electrostatic discharge during packaging and handling.

  • Dust & Particle Control

    Reduces the attraction of dust, fibers, and other particulate matter—especially important in cleanroom environments.

  • Safety in Flammable Environments

    Can help to prevent sparks in environments where flammable materials are present.

  • Improved Handling

    Reduces the tendency of materials to stick together due to static charge.

Considerations

We can customize the level of antistatic protection based on the static discharge in your specific application. Contact us to learn more about surface resistivity measurements and decay rates.
