Nope, they are antistatic and that is undesirable when running them.

Your better off running it on the cardboard box. If the foam is anti-static,
it will be conductive.

Never run a motherboard on a foam pad. Run it either in the case or on
corrugated paper.

I am not sure,but I do it all the time when testing MoBo after caps
repair ...

My MoBo inside PC is also mounted with that foam pad underneath for
sound dampening purposes (but does not heat much like with new stuff)

no problems whatsoever ...

Some foam is not conductive, I don't think the pink stuff is
but the open cell black is more often. A decent
multimeter should be able to test it.

A board resting on anti-static material can fail to post or
act real flaky, though I've never heard of anyone suffering
permanent damage as a result.

I tested the black one right now; not conductive; ordinary black foam
piece from MoBo package box ...
