Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for making molded electrically conductive foam products which comprises heating polystyrene beads containing a blowing agent to expand the beads to form closed cell polystyrene foam particles, coating said particles by forming a mixture containing a film forming polyacrylate ester and a non-film forming polystyrene dispersion of carbon black whereby a non-continuous coating is produced, placing the partially coated particles in a mold and heating the mold's contents to about 105° C. until the prefoamed beads expand and develop a pressure of about 1 atmosphere gauge in the mold and the beads are welded together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A process for making electrically conductive foam moldings which comprises mixing prefoamed polystyrene particles containing a blowing agent with an aqueous film forming polyacrylic ester dispension containing carbon black particles and expanding the resulting mixture in a mold to form a foam molding in which the said polystyrene particles are coated with electrically conductive particles and are welded together to form a foam molding.
