PURPOSE: To provide an electrially conductive coating material capable of keeping the stainproofing effect for a long period, harmless to life, and suitable for the coating of marine construction, etc., by mixing an organic or inorganic polymer, electrically conductive fibers, and fine powder of metal flakes to make a paste (or paint) wherein the metal flakes are connected with each other in the form of chain.
CONSTITUTION: The objetive coating material is obtained in the form of paste or paint, e.g. by (1) mixing (A) 100pts.wt. of flaky fine powder of copper or a copper alloy having particle size of 80W10,000 mesh with (B) 2W30pts.wt. of electrically conductive fibers, (2) spraying (C) an electrically conductive bonding agent such as an aqueous solution of lithium orthophosphate (preferably containing a slight amount of a surface active agent) to the mixture, and (3) mixing and kneading the product with (D) 400W800pts.wt. of a paint composed of (i) 10W30% coating vehicle and (ii) 90W70% solvent.
EFFECT: Bactericidal activity.
USE: Toilet stool, floor and wall of lavatory, operating room, sickroom, and passage of hospital, etc.
