The Global ESD Foam Packaging Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed mainly to increasing demand for ESD packaging in electrical and electronics, automotive, defense and military, manufacturing, aerospace industries.
ESD foam packaging is a type of insulation material that helps to minimize the effects of electrostatic discharges (or ESDs). In other words, this makes sure that static charges do not damage sensitive electronic components. The name "E-Foam" or "Electro Static Dissipative Foam" refers to its main purpose: removing, dissipating, and grounding electrical charge buildup from human skin and equipment surfaces. It does so by producing an electric field with higher potential than the air around it - about 1000 V/m (about 20 kV/cm) in magnitude. This can be done through either conductive polymer foam or metalized polyurethane foam. The latter notably works well for shielding sensitive electronics in close proximity to the foam. Conductive polymer foam, on the other hand, is typically used as a form of packaging for sensitive electrical and electronic equipment such as computer motherboards or circuit boards.
On the basis of Type, the global ESD foam packaging market is segmented into Conductive Polymer and Dissipative Polymer Foam.
Conductive polymers are a type of polymer that has properties suitable for ESD control. They can be used to suppress the discharge current, hinder surface charges from forming on conductors and increase capacitance in circuits. Conductivity is determined by the site-to-site interaction between fragments (usual chains) of similar or dissimilar lengths dispersed throughout the amorphous phase. It can be used in various applications, such as manufacturing and aerospace industries. The conductivity of this material makes it suitable for electronics or electrical purposes because the materials do not interfere with electromagnetic waves. This also means that people are able to use their hands without feeling any static shocks when coming into contact with other metals. Their gloves are generally made out of neoprene rubber and polyester which gives them an elegant look while still being tough enough to provide protection from different hazards around the workplace - like molten metal on tools, soldering irons, welding equipment, etc. They have excellent resistance against extreme heat and cold temperatures (-40 °F/-40 °C). These gloves are also able to withstand chemicals such as battery acid, oils, and solvents.
A dissipative material is one that has an electrical resistance so high that it does not significantly impede electric currents but offers some protection against static electricity generation while being easily grounded if necessary. Dissipative materials include natural rubber with carbon black filler; metal oxides such as silicon dioxide (SiO), zinc oxide ([ZnO] and barium oxide ([BaO]); metal soaps; carbon paste, as well as polymers made of aromatic amines or other substances. Dissipative polymer foam is a type of environmentally-friendly ESD packaging, made from new materials with good insulation properties and environmental protection. In the ordinary environment, Dissipative Polymer Foam has no conductivity at all (the resistivity can reach several million ohms).
On the basis of Application, the global ESD foam packaging market is segmented into Electrical and electronics (E&E), Automobile, Defense & Military Applications, Manufacturing Industries, and Others (Aerospace).
The global ESD foam packaging market in Electrical and electronics (E&E) is largely used for the protection of static sensitive devices. In this application segment, Conductive Polymer Foam has been widely accepted due to it excellent performance characteristics such as high conductivity that can be obtained by using a small amount of electrolyte, low cost with good insulator property against humidity so that these are easy to recycle. The major applications include Industrial PCs: These include computers used in factories or assembly lines where they typically operate on an enclosed metal chassis; Storage Devices & Media: This type includes CDs, DVDs, and other storage media. They should not come into contact with any material which might cause a discharge while being stored or handled; and Computer Components: This includes items like circuit boards, motherboards, hard drives.
The use of ESD foam packaging in the Automobile sector is to protect from electrostatic discharge. The high-voltage car battery, for example, could produce a dangerous spark when touched by an unsuspecting person wearing rubber gloves. A device that generates static electricity can be used to charge up any surface and then discharged on demand - called electrocution or "zapping." It helps to reduce impact from shocks and vibrations, prevent physical contact with other parts, and thus reduces the possibility of potential short circuits or component damage due to electrostatic discharge.
Defense and Military is an application of ESD foam packaging that deals with the protection against any kind of attack. In this type, metal foams are used in order to shield against electromagnetic waves or high-energy particles. This shielding can provide defense for many different types of industries such as aerospace, military ground forces, sea vessels, etc. These companies have been using these shields since they are not easily destructible by conventional weapons like missiles which gives them a great advantage over their enemy.
ESD foam packaging is very important in manufacturing industries as it prevents static electricity from damaging sensitive products. The ESD foam packaging can absorb the charge of an object and discharge a lower voltage on its surface. It also provides protection for objects against electrostatic forces generated by humans, or other sources like machinery, flooring materials, or lightning strikes; which may cause sparks to fly off those surfaces and destroy delicate electronics devices nearby.
