Design of packaging for devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD sensitive) requires consideration of the physical requirements of the packaging material as well as its electrical properties. An overview of the general classifications used for materials with regards to ESD protection and the standards that are most commonly used to characterise the materials follows -
Currently two different types of material are available in the Azote product range which have electrical properties that are suited for packaging of ESD sensitive devices. These are the conductive foam materials (CN grades) and the static dissipative foam grades (SD grades).
Classification of material:
Materials for packaging of ESD sensitive devices can be divided into three classes based on their electrical properties. The classification of materials shown below is based on the definitions in ANSI/ESD S541-2003.

| The Ethafoam and Stratocell anti static foams have also been developed and these materials in this class have reduced amounts of charge accumulation compared to standard packaging materials. These foams are designed to reduce the charge accumulation from triboelectrification i.e. the charge produced from contact and separation of materials.
