Description:
Protektive Pak’s Cushion Grade Static Dissipative Foam is a non-abrasive, closed-cell
Polyethylene Foam Compounded for Permanent ESD Control Properties. The ESD
protective properties will not degrade; the foam is designed not to flake, slough, or
contaminate products. The foam will electrically couple to a grounded ESD worksurface
when placed on the worksurface. There is no need for a separate ground cord for the foam
when used in this fashion. The 1.9 lb/ft density provides cushioning protecting products
from shock physical damage.

*Consistent with ESD S541 section
A.3 “Dissipative Material for Intimate
Contact, To avoid rapid discharge to
sensitive items, dissipative materials
should be used as the layer of
packaging that contacts the item.”
**ESD Handbook TR20.20 paragraph
5.3.1.7 Electrical Considerations “[RTG
is] The most important functional
consideration for worksurfaces.
This establishes the resistance
of the primary path to ground for
items, placed on the surface. When
worksurface materials are being
selected, consideration should be
given to possible Charged Device
Model (CDM) damage to ESD
sensitive products. If CDM damage
is a concern then setting a lower
resistance limit for the worksurface
should be considered. Typically,
the lower limit for these types of
worksurfaces is 1 x 10
6
ohms.”
