Anti-Static Foam Pads

Polyethylene foams are a very durable material, which can be used to manufacture a whole range of different components, including anti static polyethylene foam pads, available in various colours, densities and grades for use in many different applications and environments.

One of the grades of PE foam available from ASG is Anti Static Polyethylene, sometimes also called Ethafoam or Pink Anti static PE Foam, which is recognisable by its pink colour, manufactured in sheet and roll form in thicknesses up to around 50mm, making the conversion of pads easier and lead times shorter.

Our anti static polyethylene foam pads are produced on-site using drawings, samples or dimensions supplied by our customers ensuring the final product is to their exact specification. Depending upon the size and quantity of pads required, one of our many presses, bandsaws or CNC machines can be used to manufacture the final product to the highest quality of finish, from one off samples to multiple batch runs, which can be supplied as loosely cut parts, or kiss-cut on rolls where a high quantity is required or for use on fast paced assembly lines.

    What Are Anti Static Polyethylene Foam Pads?

    Anti Static Polyethylene foam (Ethafoam) pads are manufactured from a pink in coloured (dyed) non-cross linked, closed cell, polyethylene, combined with an antistatic agent (surfactant), designed for the packaging and transportation of static sensitive electronic components and devices such as circuit boards, computer chips, etc as it doesn’t generate static charge when it rubs against itself or other surfaces. Our anti static polyethylene foam pads can be produced as squares or rectangles with the option of radius corners, and also as circular or oval shaped pads or ‘discs’, in a range of thicknesses up to 50mm without laminations.

    Why Use Anti Static Polyethylene Foam Pads?

    Anti static polyethylene pads can be used for gap filling, insulating and cushioning when transporting fragile or expensive products, as protective packaging is vital in protecting the goods from damage.

    This is also true for electronic components which are static sensitive which can become unusable if stored or shipped within inadequate packaging where the foam or material used wouldn’t break down static charges caused by friction. Human interaction or other items in the box. As with all polyethylene foams, anti static PE foam pads offer protection from impact, moisture and corrosion, but with the benefit of the anti-static agents added to the raw compound.

    Alternatives To Using Anti Static Foam for Transportation and Packaging

    • Convoluted or Eggbox Polyurethane
    • Pick & pluck Polyurethane
    • Static Dissipative Polyethylene
    • Anti-static Polyurethane
    • Plastazote foam

    Advantages Of Using Anti Static Polyethylene Foam Pads

    Anti Static Polyethylene foam pads can offer many advantages to customers and end users and come with a lot of desirable properties including excellent strength and tear resistance, high shock absorbency, resistance to chemicals and grease and being closed cell, doesn’t support mould and bacteria growth or moisture absorption.

    Pink Anti-static polyethylene foam is available in many thicknesses which can be cut down into in perfectly fitting pads and case inserts in order to fully secure and protect the products from movement, impact and most importantly damage from static charge, which in return saves customers and end-users money on having to replace damaged products.

    Applications in which anti static polyethylene foam pads can be used include packaging electrical and surgical equipment, insulation for glazing and HVAC and automotive insulation, etc.

    Benefits Of Using Antistatic Polyethylene Foam

    • Lightweight for lower transport costs
    • A soft material which offers cushioning
    • Can easily wrap around awkward shapes for added protection
    • Reduces cost of replacing damaged items
    • Closed cell material protects goods from moisture damage
    • Can be used in roll or sheet form, or cut into bespoke case inserts from better fit
