Antistatic Foam Sheet
Antistatic Foam Sheet
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we source top-quality materials from reputable suppliers, allowing us to offer diverse Polyurethane foam sheets tailored for various applications and environments.
One sought-after option is Pink Antistatic Polyurethane foam, distinguished by its vivid color and frequently used to protect static-sensitive devices. Manufactured in large blocks, this foam can be easily divided into sheets of variable thicknesses and sizes, including dimensions up to 2300mm x 2000mm.
While Pink Antistatic PU foam sheets are commonly employed for crafting case inserts and packaging materials, our in-house conversion facilities employ a range of equipment, including presses, bandsaws, log-cutters, and oscillating knives. These tools enable us to create customized washers, gaskets, and strips, available plain or with a choice of self-adhesive tapes or foils.
The primary purpose of antistatic foam is to dissipate static electricity. This is crucial when handling electronic components and devices, as static discharge can potentially damage sensitive circuits and microelectronics.
Antistatic foam provides a protective barrier against electrostatic discharge (ESD), helping to prevent damage to sensitive electronic parts during handling, shipping, or storage.
When used as packaging material, antistatic foam ensures that electronic components are shielded from static electricity generated during transportation or storage. This is particularly important in industries like electronics manufacturing, where maintaining the integrity of sensitive components is critical.
Antistatic foam can be easily cut or shaped to fit specific items or packaging requirements. This flexibility allows for customizing the foam to provide a snug and secure fit for various electronic devices, preventing movement and potential damage during transit.
Like standard foam, antistatic foam provides cushioning and shock absorption, protecting electronic components from physical impact and vibration during shipping or handling.
Antistatic foam is often clean and non-abrasive, making it suitable for use with delicate electronic surfaces and finishes. It helps prevent scratches and damage that might occur with rougher materials.
What Are Pink Anti-Static Polyurethane Foam Sheets
During manufacturing, Polyurethane foams can incorporate additives like anti-static agents for tailored packaging and transporting of sensitive electronic equipment.
Pink Anti-static polyurethane, an open cell foam, is ideal for safeguarding ESD-sensitive components. It shields against physical damage and proactively prevents static discharge. Its pink color, added during manufacturing, simplifies identification to ensure proper use. These sheets are customized in various sizes and thicknesses.

Why Use Pink Anti-Static Polyurethane Foam Sheets?
While handling, packaging, and transporting goods, static charges can accumulate due to friction, human touch, or other objects within the package. Pink anti-static polyurethane foam sheets serve not only fragile items but also sensitive electrical goods, preventing potential damage during shipment.
Customers opt for pink anti-static polyurethane foam sheets primarily for their static-dissipative properties. Additionally, they appreciate the material's exceptional cushioning, shock absorption, and vibration dampening capabilities. These sheets are derived from master blocks or buns, offering versatility. They can be supplied as standard plain sheets or slabs, scored into a 'pink & pluck' grade, or split using specialized machinery to create convoluted 'eggbox' sheets.
Advantages Of Using Pink Anti Static Polyurethane Foam Sheets
Using Pink Anti Static Polyurethane foam provides numerous advantages. This material offers softness, strength, shock absorbency, and flexibility.
Manufactured in master blocks, Pink Anti-static polyurethane foam can be split into sheets of various thicknesses. It's available as pick & pluck or convoluted sheets, allowing for precise customization to secure and protect products from movement, impact, and static charge-induced damage. This saves customers money by reducing the need to replace damaged goods.
Anti-static polyurethane foam sheets and components find applications in packaging electrical and surgical equipment, cameras, circuit boards, HVAC, automotive insulation, and more.
Benefits Of Using Pink Anti-Static Foam
- Lightweight
- Soft material offers cushion and protection of abrasion and impact
- Available in different forms to perfectly fit around awkward shaped objects
- Saves money - as protects goods from physical and static damage
- Pink in colour so easily recognisable
- Can be cut down to size to provide the perfectly fitting case insert
Different Types of Packaging Foam Available
Most foams can be used for packaging as they will absorb impact, however certain foams are produced with unique features for transporting or storing items safely. Some of the other more popular packaging foams include:
Polyurethane (PU) slabs - A soft protective open-cell foam used to absorb shock, which will quickly recover following any impact or compression. This type of packaging foam is the same material as the convoluted type, still offering protection from scuffs and dents - but without the peaks.
Polyethylene (PE) - A closed cell foam which is more rigid and higher in density making it great for protecting against vibration and shock, being closed cell its ideal for packing items which need to be protected from moisture.
Pick & Pluck - Polyurethane and Polyethylene foams are available in standard, anti-static or static dissipative grades, which are used for transporting electronic products. These foams not only protect items from physical damage, but also from damage which could be caused by static charge.
Convoluted ‘Eggbox’ packaging Polyurethane - This foam is the same material as the PU slabs and the pick & pluck packaging foams, recognised by its convoluted surface consisting of peaks and troughs and if often supplied in pairs to offer support and cushioning on the top and bottom of the package. Convoluted Packaging PU foam is also available in a Pink Antistatic grade.
