Abstract
Abstract Resin is mixed with graphite particles to form a blendable, processable premold coating. When the premold coating is incorporated onto the surface of a premold coated molded plastic product produced by the premold process, said coating is rendered electrostatically conductive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A powdered electroconductive coating composition having a particle size of at least 100 mesh adaptable to be applied and cured to a final, finish coating over a compatible synthetic resinous substrate and chemically bonded thereto, the powdered composition comprising a partially cured, thermosetting synthetic resin having graphite dispersed throughout each particle, wherein the graphite is in the form of flake having a particle size of about 5 to 80 microns, or a mixture of said graphite flake and graphite fiber and is present in sufficient quantity to render said cured coating electroconductive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A powdered electroconductive coating composition having a particle size of at least 100 mesh adaptable to be applied and cured to a final, finish coating over a compatible synthetic resinous substrate and chemically bonded thereto, the powdered composition comprising a partially cured, thermosetting synthetic resin having graphite dispersed throughout each particle, wherein the graphite is in the form of flake having a particle size of about 5 to 80 microns, or a mixture of said graphite flake and graphite fiber and is present in sufficient quantity to render said cured coating electroconductive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The coating composition of claim 1, adaptable to be applied to said resinous substrate by the premold process.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The coating composition of claim 1, wherein said graphite is present in about 23 weight percent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
84 words
A powdered electroconductive coating composition having a particle size of at least 100 mesh and being curable to provide a cured electrostatically conductive coating on a premold plastic part, the powdered coating composition comprising a partially cured, thermosetting synthetic resin having dispersed in each resin particle an effective electroconductive-providing amount of graphite flake having a particle size of about 5 to 80 microns or a mixture of said graphite flake and graphite fiber in which the fiber has a length of about 300 microns.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
A powdered electroconductive coating composition having a particle size of at least 100 mesh and being curable to provide a cured electrostatically conductive coating on a premold plastic part, the powdered coating composition comprising a partially cured, thermosetting synthetic resin having dispersed in each resin particle an effective electroconductive-providing amount of graphite flake having a particle size of about 5 to 80 microns or a mixture of said graphite flake and graphite fiber in which the fiber has a length of about 300 microns.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composition as defined in claim 4 in which the synthetic resin is an unsaturated polyester.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A composition as defined in claim 4 in which the synthetic resin is a partially cured unsaturated polyester and the composition includes a crosslinking agent and a polymerization catalyst for further curing the polyester resin to provide a cured electrostatically conductive coating.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition as defined in claim 6 in which the crosslinking agent is a diallyl phthalate prepolymer and the catalyst is tertiary butyl perbenzoate.
