Operating in the electronics industry, you’ll understand that advanced protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential.
As such, at Polyformes we offer a comprehensive range of conductive, static dissipative, and anti-static foams designed to meet every ESD protection requirement. These materials are RoHS-compliant and non-corrosive, making them ideal for applications ranging from wafer interleaving and tote liners to bench mats and delicate device packaging. We can also provide a wide selection of conductive containers.
Our designers also have a deep technical knowledge of these materials properties, while our in-house conversion equipment allow us to create custom ESD-safe inserts, foam end caps, and other packaging precisely tailored to your specific requirements and industry standards.
Virtually all of the high-performance engineering foams converted at Polyformes are used in the electronics industry. They are predominantly utilised for protective packaging, component cushioning, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and environmental sealing.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. If you cannot see your specific application listed, please contact us to see how we can assist.
