Detectable pipe and electric fence 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 metals or conductive non-metals or metal plated
non-metals. The micron conductive fibers may be metal fiber or metal
plated fiber. Further, the metal plated fiber may be formed by plating
metal onto a metal fiber or by plating metal onto a non-metal fiber. Any
platable fiber may be used as the core for a non-metal fiber.
Superconductor metals may also be used as micron conductive fibers and/or
as metal plating onto fibers in the present invention.
