Conductive roofing materials are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based
material. The conductive loaded resin-based material comprises micron
conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive
powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The percentage by
weight of the conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination
thereof is between about 20% and 50% of the weight of the conductive
loaded resin-based material. The micron conductive powders are formed
from non-metals, such as carbon, graphite, that may also be metallic
plated, or the like, or from metals such as stainless steel, nickel,
copper, silver, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from a
combination of non-metal, plated, or in combination with, metal powders.
The micron conductor fibers preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber,
stainless steel fiber, copper fiber, silver fiber, aluminum fiber, or the
like.
