ESD coating for EVA foam — even when thickness, shape or quantity is hard to source.
ProShieldESD converts suitable EVA foam inserts, thick foam pads, case linings and cushioning components into ESD-control surfaces. Use the foam thickness, density and geometry your application needs — then add static-control performance with ProShieldESD coating.
ESD-coated EVA foam inserts and case foam
Use the EVA foam you need. Add ESD performance at the surface.
ESD foam is not always available in the thickness, density, colour, size or quantity required for real projects. ProShieldESD gives foam converters, packaging suppliers and manufacturers a practical alternative: use suitable standard EVA foam, cut it to the required geometry, then apply ProShieldESD to create an ESD-control surface.
Custom thickness freedom
Create ESD-control foam from suitable EVA foam in the required thickness, including thick inserts and cushioning pads.
Low-volume friendly
Support prototype, NPI, field kit, repair, replacement and limited-batch projects without waiting for special ESD foam stock.
Cut first, coat later
Coat suitable EVA foam after die-cutting, CNC cutting, pocketing, nesting or case-lining so ESD performance follows the final design.
Coating-first solution
Buy the ProShieldESD coating and convert suitable foam parts after cutting, shaping, nesting or case-lining.
1-inch and 2-inch EVA foam converted to ESD when special stock was hard to source.
A customer required 1-inch and 2-inch thick EVA foam in limited quantity for a static-sensitive application. The challenge was not the foam shape — it was availability. Thick ESD EVA foam in the required specification was difficult to source, especially at low volume.
The problem
The customer needed thick EVA foam in a specific quantity and specification, but suitable ESD foam stock was not readily available without sourcing delays or minimum-order constraints.
The coating route
Suitable standard EVA foam was selected in the required thickness and converted with ProShieldESD coating to create an ESD-control foam surface.
The result
The required foam thickness, cushioning design and low-volume requirement were preserved while static-control functionality was added after fabrication.
ESD performance for foam — without changing the foam design.
ProShieldESD 1EF1 is developed for EVA foam surfaces. It allows standard foam inserts, thick pads, case linings and cushioning parts to be converted into anti-static, ESD or conductive surfaces without depending on carbon-loaded foam stock.
For shaped EVA foam
Useful for cut inserts, pockets, liners, pads and custom foam shapes where ESD performance is needed on the finished foam surface.
Uniform static-control surface
The homogeneous coating creates consistent ESD behaviour across the coated foam surface.
Anti-static, ESD or conductive grades
Select the surface resistance range based on the application: anti-static, ESD or conductive versions are available.
Cut the foam you need. Make the surface ESD-safe.
When ESD foam is not available in the required thickness, density, size or quantity, ProShieldESD gives engineering teams a practical alternative. Source suitable EVA foam, cut it to the required shape, then convert the surface into an ESD-control layer.

ATEX-relevant instrument cases
Gas detector case foam, hazardous-area sensor kit foam and static-control foam inserts used in final compliance-driven projects.
Turn ordinary foam into a controlled ESD asset.
Foam is often close to the product: inside the case, under the tool, around the PCB, or against the component. Converting the foam surface helps reduce uncontrolled static risk while keeping the protective function of the foam.
Visible control
Coated foam can help teams distinguish ESD-control foam from ordinary cushioning foam in production, storage and transport.
Custom deployment
Apply the coating only where ESD control is needed: inserts, liners, pockets, pads, contact areas and selected foam surfaces.
Audit support
Helps ESD teams manage foam inserts, tool boards and packaging systems as part of a controlled static-sensitive process.
Specify the EVA foam you need. Add ESD performance with ProShieldESD.
ProShieldESD is designed for projects where the exact EVA foam thickness, density, shape or quantity is difficult to source as ready-made ESD foam. Use suitable standard EVA foam, fabricate the insert or pad, then apply ProShieldESD as a controlled functional ESD coating.
The coating can be selected for anti-static, ESD or conductive performance depending on the required resistance range, application environment and ESD control target.
For custom thickness foam
Suitable for 1-inch, 2-inch, layered, deep-pocket, shaped and low-volume EVA foam projects where standard ESD foam stock is difficult to source.
For fabricated foam parts
Apply after die-cutting, CNC cutting, pocketing, nesting, lamination or case-lining so the ESD coating matches the final foam geometry.
For controlled application
Brush, roller or spray application can be selected based on foam geometry, required coverage, process control and target resistance range.
From standard EVA foam to ESD-control foam.
Each project should be evaluated based on foam type, thickness, density, geometry, compression, abrasion exposure, resistance target and end-use environment.
Select the foam
Choose suitable EVA foam in the required thickness, density, hardness, size and geometry.
Cut or fabricate
Die-cut, CNC-cut, pocket, laminate or shape the foam based on the final insert, pad or case design.
Apply coating
Apply the suitable ProShieldESD grade by brush, roller or spray based on foam shape, coating coverage and resistance target.
Verify ESD range
Test the coated foam surface for the required anti-static, ESD or conductive performance range.
Specify the coating before you source special ESD foam.
Review the EVA foam coating TDS, ProShieldESD technology and supporting technical content before selecting the coating grade and application method.

ProShieldESD is an ESD foam coating designed to convert suitable EVA foam inserts, case linings, cushioning pads, tool-control foam, soft nests and flexible foam components into static-control surfaces. It is useful when ESD foam is difficult to source in the required thickness, density, colour, size or quantity.
Many projects require a specific foam thickness or geometry, such as 1-inch or 2-inch EVA foam, deep-pocket case inserts, low-volume prototype packaging, rugged service kit foam or custom protective cushioning. ProShieldESD allows teams to use suitable standard foam and add anti-static, ESD or conductive performance at the surface after fabrication.
Applications include ESD foam inserts, electronics packaging foam, EVA foam case inserts, ESD tool-control foam, aerospace and defence foam packaging, telecom equipment foam, automotive electronics foam, EV electronics packaging, medical electronics inserts, repair logistics foam and ATEX-relevant instrument case foam.
Common questions about ESD coating on EVA foam.
Can thick EVA foam such as 1-inch or 2-inch foam be made ESD-safe?
Yes. Suitable EVA foam in the required thickness can be evaluated and coated with ProShieldESD to create an ESD-control surface, which is especially useful when thick ESD foam stock is difficult to source.
Is this useful for low-volume ESD foam projects?
Yes. ProShieldESD is useful when the required ESD foam quantity is too small for special foam sourcing or minimum-order requirements, such as prototypes, service kits, replacement inserts and limited-batch packaging.
Can the coating be applied after die-cutting or CNC cutting?
Yes. The coating can be applied after foam cutting, shaping, pocketing or case-lining, depending on the foam geometry and required coated surface area.
What resistance ranges are available?
ProShieldESD 1EF1 is available in anti-static, ESD and conductive grades. The correct grade should be selected based on the application and ESD control requirement.
Need ESD foam in a thickness or quantity that is hard to source?
Use the EVA foam your application requires, then apply ProShieldESD coating to add static-control performance. Talk to our technical team to select the right coating grade and application method.
Note: Final performance depends on foam type, thickness, density, surface condition, coating grade, application method, curing conditions, compression, abrasion exposure and verification testing. ATEX-related use depends on the finished part, assembly or equipment in its intended use condition.
