Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A carpet composite having improved static electricity characteristics which comprises: a surface layer comprised of face yarn, said face yarn having been embedded into a backing layer of thermoplastic resin material into which has been uniformly incorporated throughout the entire cross sectional dimension of said backing layer a mixture of from about 0.2 to about 0.4 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the thermoplastic resin backing layer of carbon black particles having an average particle size of from about 15 to about 30 nanometers, and from about 0.4 to about 2 percent by weight based upon the weight of the thermoplastic resin backing layer of carbon fibers having an average length of from about 0.1 to about 0.2 inch.
