Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a conductive coating composition comprising, by weight of the composition: (a) 5 to 50 percent total element carbon; (b) 2 to 50 percent of a polymeric binder; (c) 5 to 93 percent of a solvent; and (d) 0 percent to 5 percent of a surfactant; wherein substantially all of the total elemental carbon, by weight of the elemental carbon, is a ground coal-based, calcined coke having an E c value of 27 to 80. Alternatively 5 to 95 percent of the total elemental carbon, by weight of the elemental carbon, is a ground coal-based calcined coke having an E c value of 27 to 80. Such compositions are useful in protecting electronic components from damage by stray electrostatic discharge when applied to a surface in close proximity with the components.
