Back in the early 80's Some companies tried to cook up a cheap antistatic
foam.
It consisted of foam neoprene, the stuff in furniture, soaked in some black
so-called conductive mixture and then (i'm assuming here) baked to a solid
consistency.
Flamable and ate and blackened IC leads after a few months.

Mouser carries it in big 3'x3' (or thereabouts) sheets.
It's not cheap. (anywhere)
