I'm considering using anti-static polyethylene foam sheets cut to fit in a case I have for my RF test gear. My thinking is that polyethylene is more stable than the other foams out there.
2 sources I have are Granger & McMaster-Carr Anyone have any thoughts?
What we do at JPL is use conventional foam, and cover it with antistatic film (like the stuff they use for ESD bags - the silvery stuff, not the pink stuff. The pink stuff sheds particles), taping it with ESD safe tape.? This has the added benefit that if the foam gets gunky, or sheds particles, they're "inside" the plastic wrapper.
