Foam Packaging

ESD & Anti-Static Foam

If you’re shipping electronic components, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) foam packaging isn’t optional. It’s protection your parts can’t ship without. Ameripak’s ESD and anti-static foam materials are fabricated to protect ESD-sensitive and ESD-susceptible parts, dissipating static electricity to prevent damaging discharge.

Choose from anti-static (pink) foam, chemically doped with an anti-static agent for easy identification; conductive (black) foam, which directs a built-up charge away from the part; or static dissipative (pink/black) foam, filled with carbon to slow and reduce the strength of an electrical charge.

Material Types Available:

Foam Type Color How It Works Best For
Anti-Static Foam Pink Chemically treated with an anti-static agent General ESD-sensitive parts, everyday handling & storage
Conductive Foam Black Conducts a static charge and shunts it away from the part Highly sensitive components, direct board/pin contact
Static Dissipative Foam Pink/Black Carbon-filled to slow and reduce the strength of a static charge Parts needing a controlled, gradual discharge
